It was a fantastic experience. I can’t remember the last time I ate sitting on the floor, though it was on some very lovely local mats. Everything there was ‘local’—from the ambiance to the food, and the people. It was a refreshing reminder of our cultural heritage,” she shared.
A Star-Studded Event
