'Thai Kingdom Come' at Marriott Manila

MANILA, Philippines - Return to the land of smiles as Marriott Manila brings back the flavors of Thailand for the whole month of July.

Go on a foodie adventure to Thai’s historic kingdom through its gastronomic treasures with Marriott Cafe’s second round of an exhilarating food festival in cooperation with Thai Airways and the Tourism Authority of Thailand — Thai Kingdom Come.

Check out this year’s unique twist on Thai cuisine for dinner. Explore its five distinct blends of basic tastes that make each dish a sensual explosion — sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and sometimes bitter.

Perking up the dining experience is no less than JW Marriott’s Thanatorn Krobsuay, a certified Thai cuisine expert who heads the kitchen team once more.

This year, another JW Marriott chef is doubling up the feast: 27-year-old Sutthipong Sirikanchittawon, one of the certified Thai food ambassadors of JW Marriott Bangkok’s Marriott Café.

For only P1,750++, start it light and healthy with Thai’s most refreshing salad sensations, specially the most popular Thai papaya salad. Take your pick from grilled shrimps, beef or chicken as toppings with the tangy sweet lime.

Evoke the sentimental feel of Thailand and delve into its time-honored curry dishes at the pot station for massaman curry with braised chicken. This special curry paste made of coconut milk, bay leaves, cinnamon, palm sugar, fish sauce and tamarind is deemed to be one of the earliest Thai recipés.

Another popular version is the green curry with chicken and sweet basil, known for its flavorful sauce made of green pepper simmered with eggplant and thinly sliced chicken pieces.

The spread is also filled with Thai’s classic favorites, such as pad thai, deep-fried spring rolls, stir-fried prawns in sweet and sour vegetables, and tom yam goong. For dessert, try the exotic foytong — sweet strands of sugar and eggyolk flavored with rose water.

Stretching the five-star experience at the Marriott Café are equally inviting Western and Asian selections from appetizer to dessert.
