Novotel Vijayawada Varun invites guests to embark on a culinary journey through the vibrant streets of Thailand. Always at the forefront of celebrating global cuisines, the hotel is hosting a 10-day Thai Food Festival that promises a medley of bold flavours, fragrant spices and authentic culinary craftsmanship.

Our goal is to offer guests a premium culinary journey that elevates the dining experience and reinforces our position as a destination for global gastronomy. This Thai Food Festival is designed to showcase and further that approach.”

Timed to coincide with the festive season, the event is ideal for gourmands seeking a sophisticated dining experience that excites the palate. Guests can expect an exquisite spread featuring spicy curries, stir-fried noodles, fragrant jasmine rice, tangy soups and an array of dishes crafted with fresh herbs, tofu, chicken and seafood.

Each preparation celebrates the delicate balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours that define authentic Thai cuisine.  The meal begins with the fragrant and spicy Tom Yum soup, a perfect balance of lemongrass and chili. The bold Pad Krapow Kai, tossed with chili and basil, brings authentic street-style flavour, while Gai Phad Prik Grapao adds depth with hot basil and garlic. For curry lovers, the rich and aromatic Gaeng Massaman delivers comforting warmth and spice. End the meal on a refreshing, tropical note with Top Tim Grob, a classic Thai dessert of water chestnut rubies in coconut milk.

Hosted at Red Bowl, the hotel’s Pan-Asian speciality restaurant, the festival will be led by Chef Vikram from Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach. Renowned for his expertise in authentic Thai cuisine, Chef Vikram has meticulously designed a menu that captures the essence of Thailand’s culinary landscape.
