About Myself
Name: Elisa Malani
Birthplace Indonesia
Hometown: Loaded question- is this the same as where you were born, if so, then quite redundant- if this is where your heart is then it’s Bangkok even though I left when I was 16 yrs old, if it’s where you have a house then its, Basking Ridge, New Jersey, if it’s where you live right now then it’s Bangalore.
Events Hosted:From Russia with Love, An English Pub Lunch, Mardi Gras Madness

SouthEast Asian like Thai and Singaporean food
What is your favorite food memory? Please provide an anecdote.
Sitting on the docks by Miami beach, a plate full of crab in front of me, a bib around my neck and a mallet on my hand! T’was messy and not pretty but it was yummy!!
From whom did you learn to cook?
Hmm! There’s a reason why I am a host and not a cook.
What is the best party you have ever attended or thrown?
Always the last one – a masquerade party to add a touch of intrigue and class (people went all out) plus a DJ and a band, catered by the Leela and an unlimited bar!
Which charity, if any, do you support?
Charities supported by the Overseas Women’s Club of Bangalore because of the high level of due diligence taken to select local charities that truly need the funds and make positive impact on improving the lives of disadvantaged women and children in Bangalore.
Is there anything else you want our Foodies to know about you?
Someone told me an appetite for food is an appetite for life and that must be the case as the best part of food is the company I have it with !
