Serve Alcohol: Yes

Ambience: Plush, spacious and comfortable. Beige and red are the basic colors used with a dash of purple adding some more color. The restaurant is warmly lit which adds to the decor. Comfortable furniture is spaced apart well, through the two levels of this restaurant.

Service:

Quick, efficient, intelligent and courteous. While placing the order my friend mentioned she was allergic to seafood and would prefer vegetarian, to us. The Maitre de taking our order made it a point to specify if seafood or eggs were a part of any of the dishes we were considering ordering. ‘The Mud pie contains egg, Ma’am, I think you should know’ made us smile.

What we ate and drank:

Creamy Sweet Corn Soup(Rs 275)(Nice)

Thai Veg Tung Yum Soup(Rs 215)(Nicer)

Chicken with Vegetable Clear Soup(Rs 225)(Nicest, and very filling)

Starters were;

Stir-Fried Chicken with Chilli(Rs 375)(Finger licking good!)

Dim-Sum: Chicken Cheung Fun(Rs 285. 3 pieces)(Good)

Main course was;

Sauteed Chicken with Chilli(Rs 395)(Very nice, but tasted a lot like the stir-fried chicken starter)

Greens with Black Mushroom(Rs 400)(Really nice, if you love your mushrooms)

Chicken Fried Rice(Rs 350)(Delish)

Dessert of the day:

Mudpie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream(Rs175)(Y.U.M.M.Y)

Caramel Custard(Rs 175)(A wee bit eggy, felt some)

Coke(Rs 60)

Total: Rs 3, 106(including a 6%(Rs 176) service charge) for 4 people

The delicious aromas that emanated from the food whetted our appetites even as we were being served. The dishes were garnished and presented well and the portion sizes were good. They are known for their dim-sums and though the dim sum was good, I’ve had better.
