The White Lotus by Max – An Evening of Exotic Sophistication with Red Devil Catering
SOFIA – February 13, 2025
In the heart of the capital, we had the pleasure of being part of the official launch of the new season of The White Lotus on Max. The event, organized by Fragment Agency for MAX (HBO), was entrusted to us for catering, décor, and logistics. Over 300 guests experienced an evening filled with refined ambiance, attention to detail, and a culinary interpretation of Thailand — the setting of the season.
We worked in a specially transformed space, reimagined as a stylish Thai resort. Guests were welcomed through bamboo arches and floral arrangements in gold and green tones, enhanced by the subtle aroma of jasmine. The soft lighting completed the sensory experience, and cocktails were already being served at the entrance. For us, such attention to detail is more than a standard — it's identity. We don’t just serve food; we create immersive experiences that reflect the theme of every event.
A Taste of Thailand – Visually and Flavorfully
Naturally, the highlight of the evening was our catering. We presented a curated Thai-inspired menu — small bites served with a balance of elegance and functionality. We embraced refined minimalism, letting the concept shine without overwhelming.
Guests particularly enjoyed Thai croquettes, chili shrimp, mango spring rolls, and rice noodles — a combination of authentic ingredients and contemporary presentation. Each element of the service was carefully designed to align with the atmosphere of the event.
“This isn’t just food. It’s an edible art installation,” shared a guest from the advertising industry.
Our service team, dressed in uniforms inspired by Southeast Asian aesthetics, delivered every bite with a smile and genuine hospitality. Small details like floral garlands and themed accessories enriched the overall experience.
Catering was not just a supporting part of the event — it was part of the story. Our team moved like choreography — with precision and discretion — enhancing the sense of seamless flow and high-end organization.
Cultural Energy and a Personal Moment

The program began around 8:00 PM with traditional music and dance from Southeast Asia.
The highlight came with the arrival of Bulgarian actor Julian Kostov, who stars in the new season of The White Lotus. We were honored to provide the culinary backdrop for an evening celebrating a Bulgarian presence in an international production of this caliber.
Following the conversation, a photo session with guests unfolded — one of the most anticipated moments of the night.
We also managed the event logistics. Thanks to our experience, guest flow and access to the various areas moved smoothly and stress-free. The coordination between all teams was a model of modern, effective event management — the kind of synergy that inspires us to keep raising the bar.
A Signature Ending
The evening concluded with a cocktail party, where our mixologists served a selection of Thai-inspired drinks — passion fruit, ginger, and coconut milk blended into recipes crafted exclusively for the occasion. The music shifted to chill-out and electronic lounge, encouraging relaxed conversations and spontaneous networking.
“It’s rare to feel part of something so precisely executed, yet so effortlessly enjoyable”, said one guest from the TV industry.
We received many thank-you messages on-site. Even more rewarding were the days that followed, when social media filled with event photos and the hashtags #TheWhiteLotus, #MAX, and #RedDevilCatering — the best validation of our team’s efforts.
Key Takeaways
Exotic. Thematic. Excellent.
That’s how our client summed up the evening — and we couldn’t agree more.
This premiere was an opportunity to demonstrate how thoughtful coordination, a strong concept, and attention to every detail can turn a corporate event into a truly memorable experience. At Red Devil Catering, this is our mission — to transform taste, presentation, and service into emotions that last.
