Bangkok--4 May--Kata Group resort Thailand
Southern Thailand's Kata Group staged a food and cocktail competition in late April amongst the six hotels within its own-brands portfolio as a way of bringing the group's food and beverage operation up to consistently high standards.
Chefs from the resorts used the ingredients they felt to be of highest quality and techniques that enhanced the natural flavours, presenting a total of 67 dishes including regional Thai specialities and the dishes that CNN Travel has identified as representing the true taste of Thailand, namely pad Thai, som tam, massaman curry, and tom yum kung.
Bar staff meanwhile prepared 11 classic cocktails to their own preferred blend, plus a passion fruit mojito, to be used as a welcome drink.
The event was held at Beyond Resort Kata, at Phuket's Kata Beach, and joining the personnel from that hotel were chefs and bar staff from Beyond Resort Karon, Beyond Patong, Beyond Resort Krabi, Beyond Resort Khaolak, and Phuket Orchid Resort & Spa.
