Centara Grand at CentralWorld invites guests to embark on a special culinary journey inspired by the beauty and symbolism of the lotus one of the most significant icons deeply rooted in Thai culture.
Through the concept of "From Lotus Root to Lotus Blossom," the hotel presents a thoughtful storytelling experience that begins beneath the water's surface with the lotus root, symbolising abundance and nourishment, and continues upward to the graceful lotus blossom, long regarded as a representation of purity and elegance.
Bringing this narrative to life through contemporary Thai cuisine while preserving the essence of traditional recipes and techniques, Ventisi Restaurant introduces a special selection of dishes inspired by various parts of the lotus. Signature creations include Thai Steamed Rice-Skin Dumplings with Lotus Root, Lotus Root Tempura, Spicy Crispy crab meat with Lotus Root salad, Crispy crab meat and herbs in lotus leaf, Lotus Stem with Steamed Mackerel in Coconut, Southern Thai Sour Soup with Lotus, Stems and Crispy Red Snapper, Chicken Massaman Curry with Lotus Seeds, and Stir-fried lotus stem with Yellow Chilli.
One featured dish will be available daily within the international lunch buffet line, while guests may also enjoy the complete collection ? la carte at Ventisi Restaurant on the 24th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld.
Throughout the month, hotel guests will also be welcomed with refreshing lotus root beverages upon arrival, alongside opportunities to experience the intricate Thai art of lotus folding a traditional craft that reflects the elegance and delicacy of Thai culture.
