New York Food Truck Fest at Courtyard by Marriott, Bhopal.

I just love the way restaurants come up with different – different food festivals, for they aim to enhance and improve the gastronomic landscape of the city. I’ve been attending tons of food festivals in and around the city but there is one thing that Courtyard by Marriott, Bhopal does is going “Off-Beat” and coming up with something exclusive that people over here have never seen or witnessed before. For I love the brand Marriott and there are some more reasons that they do to win my heart every time I visit this place, be it a meeting, family dinner or food festivals. They make sure whatever they do, they do it in style. 😉

This time they took me to New York!! Oh well! Without a visa and ticket one can actually gorge on to some delicacies of NYC!

Courtyard by Marriott, Bhopal has come up with  “New York Food Truck Fest” which will be showcasing the local street food of New York.

Once considered a passing trend, food trucks are now an important part of New York City. Meals-on-wheels slinging simple fare like burgers, hot dogs and ice cream are offered for discerning diners. The new wave of food trucks serve burritos, pizzas, quesadillas, waffles and other sophisticated bites and best of all, most of these moderately priced plates qualify as cheap eats.

Chef Ravinder Singh, Executive Chef of Courtyard by Marriott, Bhopal has an experience of working in New York. He mentions, “In New York, Mobile food trucks, nicknamed “Roach coaches” or “Gut Trucks” have served earlier days. ” Since then the trend started and is easily available in NYC.

The idea to bring something like this is absolutely unconventional. Who could imagine that one can actually devour the street food of New York right here in Bhopal?!!

Jalapeno & Cheese Samosa

Samosa with the contemporary twist!! Jalapeno and Cheese Samosa triangles were filled with spicy peppers, sweet corns and rich gooey cheese. The combination of which makes the treat deliciously good. These jalapeno and cheese samosas can be savoured with Tomato Salsa Sauce for that extra hit!

Goat Cheese & Artichoke Croquettes

A lip-smacking hors d’oeuvre, which is sure to raise one’s expectations of the forthcoming meal! Goat Cheese & Artichoke Croquettes seemed very appetising, so nobody is likely to pass up the tray without tasting one. A melt-in-the-mouth cheesy filling with artichoke makes it one of the best item on the menu. Accompanied by more tomato salsa sauce & mustard sauce, this delectable snack is an awesome treat for your taste buds, in terms of its texture as well as flavour!

Burritos

Mexican burrito is basically soft tortillas made from flour and then stuffed with an authentic Mexican style filling made of beans, salsa sauce, cheese and tomatoes.

Sliders

Sliders are an American term for mini-burgers. Aromatic, slightly spicy potato patty with Tomato, cucumber, lettuce and cheese. Pretty good on taste but a little dry. I little bit of Mayo or extra cheese would make it fantastic and yes, one is certainly not enough!

Quesadillas

A quesadilla is a corn flour tortilla, filled with a cheesy mixture of veggies, corn, beans and other ingredients, cooked on a tava, and folded into a half-moon shape. The lovable gooeyness of cheese and the joyous crunch of corn in these scrumptious and lip-smacking quesadilla, is sure to make one drool!

Margherita Pizza

Sometimes you just can’t beat fresh, simple, and classic Margherita Pizza. A typical Neapolitan pizza, named after the Italian Queen. It is a basic pizza with red tomatoes, green basil and white mozzarella cheese. It was a spot on for me!!

Waffle Sandwich

Now this was a sheer surprise element when Chef Ravinder made this waffle sandwich live in front of us. Waffles loaded  with cheese, mayonnaise, veggies, tomato salsa, sour cream, nachos and more cheese making it messy and luscious. Absolutely perfect taste and perfect texture.  I would like to term it as a winner dish!!

Donut and De Wafel with Black currant Ice Cream

I have a sweet tooth. I love dessert, and if somebody makes me one, I’m going to have it.

–  Sarah Rafferty

Doughnuts have become an integral part of American culture, and now are loved by everyone for providing us with mouth full of comfort. A delicious and tempting dessert treat to all sweet lovers.

De Wafel with Black currant Ice Cream

The joy of having a hot, crispy waffle with a delicious, creamy and soft ice cream garnished with small chunks of brownie is absolutely incredible. I’m falling short of words to describe this heavenly sweet little thing. Do Not Miss!!

My meal was gorgeous and the service impeccable. The menu has a good pick of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and definitely has more than what you see here. 🙂

Book your tables now because booking a ticket to New York would be heavy on your pocket!! 😉 😛

Till then, Happy Hogging!
