There’s something special about a cocktail when you can actually appreciate the thought and technique that went into creating it.
At the MOFO Goa x Taverna Bar Takeover at Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage, I got to experience some beautifully crafted cocktails by South Goa’s mixologists, with the clarified cocktails being a definite highlight for me. A lot of effort goes into creating that clarity while retaining the flavours, and these were absolutely on point when it came to taste.
Add to that some delicious food from Taverna and the wonderful hospitality of Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage, and it made for a fantastic evening of cocktails, food and conversations.
Definitely an experience that made me appreciate the craft behind the glass a little more. 🍸✨

Why don’t we see more Goan cuisine in fine dining?
Odette Mascarenhas explains how even a familiar, everyday Goan dish can be transformed into a fine-dining plate — while still retaining its flavours and identity.
But that raises a bigger question: why isn’t this happening more often?
▶️ Watch our full conversation on Tête-à-Tea with Odette on Ikreate Passions.

Why don’t we see Goan food in fine dining spaces?
In this episode of Tête-à-Tea, I sit down with Odette Mascarenhas to talk about a question that doesn’t get asked enough.. is it perception, presentation, or something deeper?
From beautifully plated dishes to traditional flavours, we explore why a cuisine so rich in history, ingredients, and technique hasn’t found the same space in fine dining as others.
Because sometimes, it’s not about the food…
it’s about how we choose to present it.
