Celebrate Valentine’s Day by indulging in Blue Elephant’s tantalizing ‘Spice Up Your Love’ menu

Celebrate St. Valentine’s Day by treating your loved one to a romantic dinner in the world-renowned, authentic Thai restaurant, the Blue Elephant, which is housed in an elegant and idyllic century-old mansion. Inspired by the legendary love story of Kwan and Ream, a Thai equivalent of Romeo & Juliet, Master Chef Nooror Somany Steppe has specially designed a six-course menu for lovers to indulge to their heart’s content entitled, ‘Spice Up Your Love’.

Using only the finest ingredients and Thai herbs and spices, which are believed to heighten the senses, delectable dishes such as Whispers From My Heart (a salad that comprises gently poached oyster flavored with lime, chili, garlic and mimosa leaves), Fulfill My Love (heart shaped jelly flavored with Tom Yam Koong accompanied by Thai roasted chili paste mousse) Exotic Love (grilled chicken tossed with roasted garlic, chilli and shallot paste) or Shower Me With Your Love (grilled Snow fish marinated with Korean Ginseng wrapped in ginger leaves, accompanied by caramelized tamarind and crispy shallot dip) will not only stimulate the senses through taste, but also visually through the creative presentation for which Master Chef Nooror Somany Steppe is renowned.

To make it a truly memorable evening for all the love birds that visit the Blue Elephant Cooking School & Restaurant Bangkok on 14 February, 2013, guests will have the chance to win a Romantic Getaway and other prizes:

The Blue Elephant, which was founded in 1980 by Nooror Somany Steppe and her husband Karl Steppe with support from Thai partners, is highly regarded by Thai and international food connoisseurs. Since then, Chef Nooror, through the Blue Elephant group, has played a significant role in popularizing Thai food and culture around the world. The Group now has 11 restaurants located in the world’s major cities. Apart from Bangkok and Phuket, where the restaurant also has cooking schools, the Blue Elephant can be found in London, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Lyon, Dubai, Beirut, Malta, and Jakarta. The Group also produces and exports Thai sauces, curry pastes and powder to over 20 countries around the world. Chef Nooror’s passion for Thai cooking was inspired by her Thai mother, who taught her the culinary art along with her secret recipes at an early age, enabling her to uniquely combine Thai and local ingredients in the countries where the Blue Elephant restaurants are located. Apart from her mother, Chef Nooror’s culinary skills were also enhanced through her food guru, Ajarn Sisamon Kongphan.
