Thailand’s Ambassador to Kenya Sasirit Tangulrat, officially launched ‘Thai food week’ at Sarova Stanley Hotel in Nairobi on Friday.
The Thai Food Festival will be held from July 15 to July 23, 2022 at Thai Chi Restaurant in Sarova Stanley’s hotel in the capital, and consumers will enjoy reduced food prices during the week.
The embassy hopes to introduce Thai food to Kenyans, particularly “Thai street food,” according to the Ambassador.
“Thai street food is very popular at an international level and among international tourists,” Tangulrat said at the launch.
“Thai food is already famous around the world as it tastes so different compared to the foods of other countries,” she underlined, adding it has further medicinal benefits.
Tangulrat noted that Thai food is special for people in many different ways, despite this, all the dishes share a rainbow of flavours.
“The dishes can be a mixture of sweet, spicy, savoury and bitter. And yet the different flavours all blend harmoniously into a unique taste which is often a pleasant surprise to one’s taste buds,” Tangulrat said.
“Thailand has more dishes on the list than any other country,” she added.
After the news conference, the embassy held a “Meet the Chef Event” and a Media-launch of the Thai Food Festival.
During a short demonstration, chef Poo( phansupha phommee) described how to cook Thai food, along with other Thai chefs.
