Say ‘Ola’ to Mexico with warm tortillas that can be served with a variety of options to fill them up with, such as spicy beans, grilled veggies or shredded chicken. Lay out bowls of guacamole, salsa and grated cheese for the perfect toppings.

Dumpling detour

Hop over to the Chinese corner where everyone can pick their favourite fillings to fold into the dumpling dough before it is steamed or pan-fried, and enjoyed with dipping sauces like soy sauce, vinegar, chilly oil or sesame sauce.

Mezze Platter

The next stop will take your diners to a feast from the Middle East where they can stuff crispy falafels into soft pita bread, heap spoonsful of creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush, along with some fresh salad and pickled olives on the side. 

Paella Pantry

Gather everyone around for a Spanish ritual that involves helping themselves straight from the large one-pot Paella, generously loaded with rice, veggies like beans and tomatoes or meats like chicken and fish, all cooked in olive oil and flavoured with saffron and paprika.
