The Lodhi New Delhi proudly presents Thai Alchemy, a three-day culinary pop-up celebrating the rich heritage of Thai cuisine. From September 6th to 8th, 2024, guests are invited to indulge in an exquisite menu crafted by the hotel’s esteemed Asian chef, Krishna Boro, who promises an authentic and flavourful journey through Thailand's vibrant culinary landscape.

 

With nearly two decades of culinary expertise, Chef Krishna Boro has meticulously crafted a menu that showcases the intricate balance of flavours that defines Thai cuisine. Inspired by his Assamese roots and guided by renowned culinary mentors like Julia Carmen Desa, Shaun Kenworthy, Arig Ahmed, Vijay Thapliyal, and Dharmen Makwana, Chef Boro infuses each dish with a personal touch, blending traditional Thai flavours with a hint of home.

 

Thai Alchemy promises a gastronomic adventure with a thoughtfully curated menu —starting with appetisers, such as the Thod Mun Hau Plee Khao Phod, a delicate red curry cake made with banana flower and American corn, or the fragrant chive dumplings, Kuy-Chay, drizzled with garlic oil. Chef Boro’s selection of aromatic soups includes Tom Yum Gai, a spicy and tangy chicken broth infused with exotic herbs, and Tom Kha Phak, a comforting coconut cream soup with mushrooms and tofu. Guests can then partake in the fresh and vibrant salads—the zesty Som Tam Mamuang offers bursts of flavour, followed by the main courses, which feature a delightful array of curries and stir-fried dishes. From the spicy Southern-style soft-shell crab curry, Pu Nim Kæng Lhuaeng, to the rich and hearty Massaman Curry with tender lamb, each dish showcases the perfect harmony of Thai spices and fresh ingredients. The gastronomic experience culminates with the traditional Thai dessert, Tub Tim Grob, a classic refreshing treat made of coconut and red ruby water chestnut, cooked with pandan leaves, offering a sweet conclusion to a vibrant feast.

 

Perbacco, The Lodhi’s renowned Italian restaurant, serves as the perfect venue for this food festival that will offer guests an elegant and intimate setting that complements the rich and bold flavours of Thai cuisine. Known for its sophisticated ambience and exceptional service, Perbacco effortlessly bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, much like the dishes crafted by Chef Krishna Boro. This unique fusion of cultures and cuisines at Perbacco promises a dining experience that is both memorable and truly special.
