The Sino-Indian influence in Kenya goes back centuries and the expo provided a great platform to showcase Chines-Indian cultural fusions.
The three day food extravaganza was a fusion of Indian and Chinese food and culture. Cultural connoisseurs and foodies indulged in gastronomic delights from the various purveyors at the expo. From the Chinese Restaurant with a contemporary European Flair- Mr. Yao to the Northern Indian cuisine restaurant Haandi.
Attendees got to sample a wide variety of oriental dishes- from delectable Dum Sums at the Xiang Restaurant stand, Pani Puris from Chowpaty, sweet and savoury rolls at the Hui Panari booth, purple tea by Chinya Tea, pakoras from Ashoka authentic Punjabi curries and the centuries old tradition of marinated meat cooked in tandoors, Shiminya and Taro rolls. Each was an authentic taste of China.
