Bangkok, Thailand, June 24, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Vertigo TOO invites guests to an exclusive dinner event where guest chef Mohamed Bellote from the Angsana Heritage Collection, Marrakech Riads, will explore the vibrant flavors of Morocco. A true master of Moroccan cuisine, Chef Mohamed will present a wealth of traditional recipes, showcasing the essence and diversity of North Africa's renowned culinary heritage.

As a descendant of an Amazigh family and deeply rooted in Morocco's culinary traditions, Chef Mohamed has passionately dedicated his professional life to preserving and developing the vibrant flavors and ancient cooking techniques of his homeland. Throughout the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, Chef Mohamed is celebrated as an ambassador of Moroccan cuisine. Often praised for his "golden touch," his culinary art skillfully and seamlessly blends authenticity with refined presentation, creating dishes that embody the spirit and soul of Morocco.

Experience Moroccan cuisine in all its glory with a 5-course sharing menu that offers a modern interpretation of traditional recipes. This exclusive menu highlights Chef Mohamed's creativity and commitment to authenticity, showcasing iconic dishes as well as innovative reinterpretations.

The culinary journey begins with Marrakchi Harira, a spicy, robust, and aromatic herbal broth traditionally enjoyed to break the fast during Ramadan. Infused with North African herbs and spices, it is served with aged Smen butter and sweet Medjool dates for a perfect balance of richness and sweetness. The classic Moroccan Homemade Mixed Salad presents a vibrant mix of seasonal vegetables—carrots, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and squash—delicately seasoned with traditional herbs and spices to enhance their natural flavors. Enjoy the Free-Range Chicken Pastilla, a typical Moroccan pastry filled with tender chicken, roasted almonds, gum arabic, and fragrant saffron, all encased in a delicate pastry shell, baked to a golden brown and crisp. The authentic Moroccan couscous offers you a choice between tender veal, fresh seafood or seasonal vegetables, accompanied by spicy broth and classic side dishes that embody the heart of Moroccan cuisine.

For a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, try the veal tagine with dried fruit: slow-cooked veal, refined with apricots, prunes, saffron, and roasted almonds. The fish tagine with hake in a traditional chermoula marinade, saffron, and mixed vegetables offers a complex flavor experience with delicate, fragrant aromas. For a grand finale, the milk pastilla – also known as jawhara – features crispy, thin layers of dough combined with light milk cream and a hint of orange blossom. Fresh oranges with cinnamon and aromatic anise juice add a refreshing touch, while ghriba and fekkas, classic Moroccan biscuits and pastries, along with mint tea, perfectly round off this unforgettable culinary experience.

Join us at Vertigo TOO from July 14th to 25th, 2025, and enjoy an exclusive culinary experience featuring the treasures of Morocco, masterfully prepared by Chef Mohamed Bellote. Look forward to a specially curated 5-course sharing menu, available at the attractive price of 1,999 THB net per person.
