Thai food has always enticed me with its mesmerizing flavors
and wholesome ingredients that pleases the palette and satiate the taste buds. When
Eros Delhi invited me to review their Thai food festival at Blooms, their all
day dining restaurant, I couldn’t refuse.


Be it the cultural heritage, dining etiquettes or
traditional customs that boast of a rich past, the hospitality of Thailand is
well-regarded amongst the travelers around the world.
As a tribute to their historical glory, the Executive Chef,
Nikhil Rastogi has curated a Thai Food Festival that offers an elaborate buffet
spread of authentic Thai recipes perfected with color, texture and the balance
of five flavors – sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami.
We reached the place to be welcomed with a lovely Thai
ambiance.

There were songs and dances going on that reverberated the Thai
culture. A warm welcome by the PR team and chef Nikhil made us feel comfortable.

They ushered us outdoors, where a flamboyant array of Thai
dishes were displayed. The courteous and hospitable staff from the Thailand Tourism
helped us to walk through the different traditional elements of their country while
the chefs proudly displayed their cooking styles.  The Ambassador of Thailand was also visiting with his family. I loved how everyone greet each other with folded hands and bow down in respect. The tradition is as similar to Indians
