In an attempt to provide its guests the quintessential Thai experience, Vivanta by Taj launched their Thai Pavilion restaurant in the city on Thursday. On this occasion, celebrity Chef Ananda Solomon, who introduced the Thai Pavilion to the country, and is the corporate chef, Vivanta by Taj Hotels and Resorts, said, “This is the first time that the authentic cuisine of Thai Pavilion is being showcased outside Mumbai.
In an ongoing endeavour, I have been exploring the mystique and have been fascinated by the bouquet of flavours which is the essence of Thai cuisine. I am happy to share these epicurean pleasures at Vivanta by Taj - Begumpet.”
Chef Ananda’s love of Thai cuisine has enabled him to showcase the very best of the culinary landscape of Thailand. The menu at Thai Pavilion opens with entrees such as Herb Yellow Tofu with Betel Leaf, Katuri Flower with Sweet Sour Sauce, Stir-fried Squid with Yard Beans, Crispy Duck with Stir-fried Spinach and Som Tam (raw papaya salad). The show stealers in the menu are recipes like Duck Liver, Foie Gras with Sea Asparagus in Mango Sauce and Pia Nueng Manao (steamed John Dory with coriander, Chilly, peanut in a tangy sauce).
All-time favourites like Kai Phad Prik Daeng (chicken supreme flavoured with Thai herbs), Phad Phak (Stir fried vegetables in light soya sauce) Katuri Flowers with Garlic, Chilli ’n’ Honey, and Palm Hearts with Cashew Nuts have also been included in the menu.
A must-try is the Green Thai Curry, tempered with coconut milk and flavoured with lime leaves and unripe green peppercorns, or the classic Thai-style Roasted Duck on a bed of Spinach. Classical Thai Red and Green Curries have been included.
For the ones with a sweeth tooth, a medley of desserts dot the menu --- such as Spiced Creme Brulee, Makroot flavoured soft centered chocolate dollops, or the hot Thai Chocolate Soufflé, Fok Thong Sankaya (delicately steamed custard in baby pumpkin) and Tub Tim Grob (diced water chestnut with coconut milk), a signature dessert that was introduced and made popular in the kitchens of Thai Pavilion.
Apart from this, the restaurant also boasts of an elaborate beverage menu with an array of Thai-based cocktails, mocktails, iced teas and martinis for an enhanced experience.
