Hyderabad, September 25, 2008: The flagship Taj Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad, Taj Krishna is hosting the German Food Festival at Encounters the 24-hour international eatery/coffee shop, from September 25th to 30th, 2008. This festival is presented by Lufthansa, Goethe Zentrum-Hyderabad and Taj Krishna as part of Oktoberfest 2008. Celebrity Chefs from Germany, Marco Lorenze and Karl Heinz Vogel have been specially flown down to create the magic of authentic German cuisine.

The Cuisine

German cuisine varies greatly from region to region. The southern regions of Bavaria and Swabia share many dishes among them and with their neighbours to the south, Switzerland and Austria.

German cuisine emphasizes on meat and potato, like the American food, but with a focus on sweet and sour flavor. Popular sweet and sour dishes like sauerbraten (which combines a sour marinade with a sweet sauce) reveal a taste for flavors that take you back to medieval cooking, when such combinations were popular across Europe. Vinegars, sugar and fruits provide popular piquant sauces.

Only the Irish cuisine rivals the 'German love of potatoes-enjoyed in salads, dumplings and pancakes". Roasted meats (braten), schnitzels and sausages (there are more than 1,000 varieties) are star players of the German dinner plate. The prominence of meat eating in German culture goes back to ancient times: Romans derided Germanic tribes for their vigorous meat consumption.

On September 27, Taj Krishna will host the Oktoberfest Party at the majestic Grand Ballroom. The tickets for this event are available at Taj Krishna priced at Rs.1,500/- per couple for unlimited food and lager and Rs.900/- for single. This evening promises to be a one of a kind and never to be forgetten!!

No festivity is complete with out good music and for this the world famous The Moonlights flown in especially by Lufthansa, will perform at the grand celebration. The Moonlights consist of Franz (vocal/drums), Hanspeter (vocal/bass), Jurg (vocal/lead guiter), Hans-Dieter (vocal/keyboard) and Wolfgang (vocal/sax/guiter). They have performed in India on many occasions like, in 2003 at German Embassy in New Delhi and in 2005 at The Grand Hotel in New Delhi.

To add authenticity to the Oktoberfest celebration, the Grand Ballroom in Taj Krishna will be spruced up for the occasion with benches, barrels n pints of lager along with flags and of course lots of lager, music, food
