Thai Flavors – Interactive with Water Views! Take a culinary tour of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia to discover the flavors of South-East Asian cuisine. Inspired by Bangkok, proprietor Navjot Arora and executive chef Perry Rodriguez will share their expertise to acquaint us with the balanced flavors of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Then a tutorial on a few special dishes starting with attendees’ hand crafting their own Chicken Momos – handmade steamed chicken dumplings with chili sambal and fragrant soy sauce to dip. Our chefs educate us on a few special dishes starting with Penang Curry Duck – slow cooked coconut cream, mixed bell peppers, onions, carrots, and lime leaves and Pineapple Fried Rice. Learn the makings of the popular Thai street food Pad See Ew – stir fried flat rice noodles with Chinese broccoli, egg, and beef with sweet soy sauce will be easy to replicate at home (or order in). Enjoy a mini-taste of a Mango Mojito – light rum, muddled limes with mint mango juice. Chef Arora has appeared on the Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay in “Field of Greens” and is one of our favorite food educators. Visit the rooftop deck for a spectacular view of the Hudson River accompanied by one of their specialty cocktails in hand!
