We have all been guilty, at least once, of stereotyping cuisines by just linking them to one particular dish from the cuisine. When one speaks of Thai cuisine, we only think of curries and coconut milk; Thai cuisine has so much more to offer. Busting myths and bringing to Kolkatans, a wide gamut of dishes highlighting the North, Central & Southern regions of Thailand, JW Marriott Kolkata is hosting a 9-day long Taste of Thailand Food Festival at their Signature Asian restaurant – Vintage Asia from 7 th till 16th September 2018.
