It just so happened that we met each other, and we decided that why not work together. So, we all wanted to bring entertainment and good food together in one place,” says Mr. Bhattacharyya.With five-star and stand-alone restaurants coming together at one location to present the cuisine of China, Korea, Japan, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, Bhattacharya said that knowing “Delhi has a huge appetite for food festivals, on a working day we are not expecting many people till the evening but on the weekend we are expecting around 10,000 to 15,000 visitors.”Some of the other participating restaurants include the Royal China, Pan Asian (Sheraton New Delhi), Jade (The Claridges), Dimsumbros, Asia 7, The Fatty Bao, Wow Momo and Artful Baker. “We at Wai Wai are delighted to be part of the first Asian Hawkers Market.
