When we approached JW Marriott for a shoot with the Chef de Cuisine at Arola, a niche Spanish lounge, there’s no way we’d have known they’d volunteer to give away 2 of their signature dishes – Patatas Bravas, and Crema Catalana that Chef Manuel Olveira creates in this video at Arola.
Even by a Thai gourmet chef’s admission, the best Thai food is found on the city streets. Perhaps to replicate the experience, Spices at JW Marriott has turned its expansive restaurant floor into a Thai street food joint, replete with a Thai barbeque station, Pad Thai station, pork belly station, Thai curry station and rice station. All this executed under the supervision of Suriya Phusirimongkhonchai, a shy but able Thai dessert chef who has only recently come to Mumbai.
