The Tourism Authority of Thailand has launched the delectable Amazing Thailand Food Festival in Mumbai in collaboration with chef Seefah Ketchaiyo. This marks the second edition of the festival, which offers visitors the opportunity to gorge at live food stations, enjoy live music, and get their adrenaline high at the exciting gaming zone.
The Amazing Thailand Food Festival will focus on the rich flavours of all four regions of Thailand. It also aims to introduce visitors to local Thai delicacies not often found in restaurants. Speaking about the festival, chef Seefah Ketchaiyo said, “It’s not just about food; we are also introducing Thai products, showcasing cultural performances, including a Thai band named Khamvisedth. Mumbai-based DJ Savio D’souza will also present Isaan music, which is the traditional music of northeast Thailand. This year will see a wider variety of regional dishes that are not commonly found in Indian Thai restaurants. We’re also collaborating with White Rabbit Bar from Chiang Mai for a special cocktail menu on March 1.”
The food festival will also host food stalls run by the homegrown chefs who run Mea Aie, Chaiyo and Khao Kaeng Factory in Thailand. Apart from the non-vegetarian delicacies, there is something for vegetarians as well. The festival will have delicious vegetarian fare like spring rolls, crispy tofu, mushroom cake, deep-fried wontons and khao soi also on the list.
Ketchaiyo has been behind Bandra’s new favourite Khao Man Gai. She added, “It’s been a lot of eating and learning from the source. When I return to Thailand, my visits are centred on eating at local, sometimes hidden, spots that specialise in certain dishes. I talk to street vendors, old-school restaurants, and home cooks — because they hold the knowledge of true, regional Thai flavours. I also visit fresh markets to see what ingredients are in season, as that heavily influences Thai cooking. Sometimes, I work with chefs in Thailand to understand how a dish has evolved over time.”
The chef recommends trying out Kaeng hunglay (slow-cooked pork belly curry), Kha nhom jeen kaeng tai goòng (Southern Thai-style rice noodles with prawn curry), and Khua kling moo (Southern Thai dry pork curry) apart from the other options.
