Cantonese is one of the Eight Culinary Traditions of Chinese cuisine. The food is a delicate mix of fresh ingredients together with dried and preserved items with intense flavours. Sometimes, the fresh and dried varieties of the same item may be used together in a dish, although it should be noted that this cuisine does not rely much on the use of fresh herbs, unlike its other Asian counterparts. Steaming and stir frying are the most popular methods of cooking, although Cantonese food does have its braised and deep fried versions as well.
This exclusive event will be preceded by a select, Handpicked wine dinner at 19.00 hrs on the 11th May. The Cantonese festival will be available for both lunch and dinner from 12th-20th May 2016 at The Mayflower, Dusit Thani Bangkok.
Handpicked wine dinner priced at THB 3,500++ per person
