| Executive Chef Muthu Kumar |
Executive Chef Muthu Kumar explained to us the principles of yin and yang that govern the mind and body which necessitates the need to bring about a balance in what we eat as well. Hence, this festival underlines the culture, tradition, wellness and nutrition of this cuisine and does it in a delectable way. The menu has been curated by the masterchefs of Novotel Siam Square, Bangkok and Novotel Chennai OMR's Chef Sagar.
These are some of the specials from the festival menu that we tried:
 |
| Vegetarian dim sum |
 |
| Chicken dim sum |
 |
| Crisp fried spring rolls |
 |
| Sambal and chicken satay |
 |
| Vegetarian Thai green curry served with steamed rice |
 |
| Braised shoulder of beef (hong shao niu nan) |
 |
| Do not miss the mixed mushrooms (chao san gu) & mixed veggies |
 |
| Chilli crabs (la jiao pang xie) |
 |
| Ayam gulai |
 |
| Mackerel in banana leaf (luang senunuh) |
Main courses:
 |
| Pad thai from the live station |
|
| Mie goreng |
The highlight of the meal was the mie goreng. We asked for the prawn version and it was just a little spicy and just fabulous.
 |
| Desserts - mango cheesecake; mango crumble cake; caramel eclair & blueberry cream; summer pudding |
There were no Asian desserts on offer but the chef revealed that he had 8 flavours of ice creams that he would be serving at the festival, along with some innovative toppings.
The Asian food Festival will be on till June 2nd and it's a buffet service priced at 1299/++ for lunch and 1399/++ for dinner.
