The Art of Cart: Authentic Brazilian Street Food Dinner

The Art of Cart: Authentic Brazilian Street Food Dinner 

Date: Saturday, 19th March
Time: 19:00-21:30
Cost: 398 RMB, 368RMB for members  including one drink

A country’s most delicious food is not always found in its finest restaurants. Tasting local street food is definitely one of the most important experiences when you are travelling. That is perhaps what street food is all about: filling your stomach with contentment in a convenient and affordable way while opening the door that leads to the country’s cuisine, history and culture.

For this dinner, our courtyard has joined hands with the Brazilian Chef Paula Garcia to present you with a special street food dinner along with the cultural traditions of these dishes.

She took a Culinary Arts degree back in Brazil.

Now she is trying to immerse herself in the food cultures she is being able to know by living in those different countries. In each new country she is able to live in, she feels more Brazilian than ever and understands the value of Brazilian food in the gastronomic world.
