DRAGONAIR PARTNERS WITH THE RITZ CARLTON BANGALORE, FOR THE ‘FLAVOURS OF SICHUAN’ FOOD FESTIVAL

Dragonair has partnered with The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore for the ‘Flavours of Sichuan’ food festival at the award winning restaurant – The Lantern.  For this event, Dragonair will fly in Chef Alan Chen from The Ritz-Carlton, Chengdu to showcase his signature Sichuan specialties.

Flavours of Sichuan will feature signature tastes that have evolved from the region. Sichuan cuisine is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan province in southwestern China. It has bold flavours, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavour of the Sichuan pepper.

Mr. Rajesh Menon, Regional Sales & Marketing Manager, South Asia for Dragonair says, “We are delighted to be able to partner with The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore for the Flavours of Sichuan food festival.  We have long been associated with the Sichuan province as Dragonair’s network covers 22 destinations in Mainland China including Chengdu in Sichuan.

Moreover we currently partner with UNICEF for the Change for Good in-flight fund raising programmed and funds collected are being used in 3 projects to enrich the lives of children in the Sichuan province.”
