Nómada fires up first Friday with feast and fiesta

Nómada Open Fire Grill & Beach Club at Dusit Thani Hua Hin just launched 'Nómada Fiesta', a new monthly dining experience bringing together the bold flavours, lively rhythms and warm, convivial spirit of South America.

Taking place on the first Friday of every month from 6pm, the fiesta combines open-fire grills alongside a buffet spread you can help yourself to, cocktails, a live DJ set and Latin-inspired dances by the sea. It's a night to expand your horizons in more than one way, trying new flavours while joining a quick dance lesson.

The pièce de résistance of Nómada Fiesta is a tableside churrasco experience where Peruvian chef André Josef Nweh Severino is hard at work, carving and serving succulent slices of freshly grilled meats. His cooking draws on the flavours of his homeland and a deep appreciation for the way fire can transform even the simplest ingredients.

You can also select and grill your own steak and seafood over an open flame. If you can't be bothered (guilty!), help yourself to the already cooked spread of white prawns, calamari, Argentinian chorizo, picanha, Peruvian-style chicken and baked fish in salt crust.

Pair your protein with some carbs from the pasta station. The Peruvian pesto swaps basil with spinach and coriander while the Chilean sauce tastes like bisque. Both are delicious. Don't forget to save some room for a sweet finale with a giggly slice of coconut flan or an ice cream cone with all kinds of toppings.

As the night goes on, diners will be treated to Latin dance performances by Hua Hin Dancesport Academy. A few cocktails later, you may need no persuasion to join a mini dance class and dance the night away.
