Ping's Cafe Orient — Restaurant in Delhi

Ping

Located in the Posh and Quaint Locality, Lodhi Colony, Ping Cafe Orient is truly the Hidden Gem that has outshined the neighborhood with an outstanding dining experience. A Cozy Cafe that reminds you of Asian streets that serves Authentic food over an edge. This was my first visit to this place and I am so looking forward to my next visit there.

Once you are seated and have a look around, it instantly reminds you of Downtown streets of Chinatown. The interiors have been kept keeping the same essence in mind. You will see lantern hangings  down, Chinese calendar, wooden chair and table and few sofa chairs for families. The Bar is small and compact at extremely left end with a see through live kitchen on the opposite right end.

Coming down to Food, I need to Highlight that they are my personal favorite now as they have served us Perfect, delicious and presentable food that's simply DIVINE.

We began our Luncheon with their Recommended Mocktails and Cocktails and they were undoubtedly the best we had. We tried 2-3 drinks and out of them this one was the best.

Thai Lemongrass Cooler: Just one word for it DIVINE. I haven't had such a refreshing, sublime and beautiful drink ever. The Lemongrass flavor was outstanding along with the zing of ginger and every sip made it taste better. In fact, it was addicted, wanted to repeat this drink. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Chestnut (crystal) Veg Dimsums with chives and burnt garlic

Beautiful ❤️ to look at and mouth melt-in these dumplings were appetizing and tasty. The burnt garlic kick left a powerful after taste on the palate.

Peking Gazebo Chicken Dimsums

My personal favorite, these were pan fried and had a galze of a beautiful sauce that made it finger licking good. A MUST TRY.

Thai Dry Chilli Chicken

Being my favorite dish, not many restaurants have justified the Authenticity of this classic dish and must say that it's one of the best Dishes here throughout my dining experience. They have nailed the dish to the core. Dry red chilli, glazed onions in Beautiful marinated chicken cubes made this THE BEST CHILLI CHICKEN, I had so far.

Spicy Korean Chicken wings

The most difficult thing about our luncheon was to grade which dish was the best and this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and SECOND BEST DISH OF THE DAY. Dark glaze of Korean sauce on fried Chicken wings made it HEAVENLY. They were juicy, crispy, sticky and DIVINE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

AIR FRIED Pomfret: This is what I will call DISH OF THE DAY. Spectacular presentation, this fish just couldn't have been beautiful than this. Coated in a coarse sauce of Thai herbs and seasonings, this fish was LOVE. Juicy, crusty, delicate, and flavourful, It's one of the finest dish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Drunken Chicken noodles

We paired this dish with Pomfret sauce and what a combination it came out. Flat yet thick, these noodles we're saucy and nice. Loved it over regular noodles which are available around.

Jumbo prawn sizzlers

A SEAFOOD lover PARADISE, this Jumbo Prawns are to DIE FOR. I am in dilemma as everything they served us was flawless. Cooked tender soft with burnt garlic and Thai herbs, this prawn sizzler was awesome till the end. I LOVED IT.

Poached pears in red wine, with star Anese and scoop of Ice cream

Little overdone for me, this was bursting will flavors. I loved every bite along with a scoop of ice cream and the spiced flavor.

This place had a charisma and an OOMPH to it. We loved it...

This place is a street style cafe having a vibe of Thailand streets.The vibrant and chic interiors ,English calssic music and bright ambience makes a person totally ecstatic. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable.The place serves authentic Asian and the staff is helpful if you are not sure about what to order. The menu has extensive range be it vegetarian/non vegetarian(be it seafood)or if you are calorie cautious. We started our lunch with "Thai lemongrass" cooler which was highly refreshing,slightly sweetened and had a pungent flavour of ginger.The mocktails are freshly made,no use of premixes and it refreshes and rejuvenate.

"Crystal vegetarian dumpling with chives and burnt garlic" Were opaque,presented beautifully in a traditional cane basket and were tender soft.Each bite had a crunch of chives and garlic was burnt to perfection to blast maximum flavours.

"Peking chicken dimsums" The dimsums had a micro thin coating,handmade and so fine when it comes to finishing. Topped with homemade sauce,they tasted heavenly and were very light.

"Dry chilli chicken" Very rare to find such authentic chilly chicken with minimal usage of oil.The bullet chillies were fire packed and chicken was tender.The sauces were apt and it was cooked to perfection.

"Jumbo prawn sizzler" This is heaven for sea freight ood lovers.Such Jumbo prawns enter the table with crackling sizzling sound.Flavoured with butter,pepper and garlic,this one is a showstopper.

"Air fried pomfret" Feather light and my personal favourite.It has Thai basil and herbs infused and is topped with a bit of sauce which complements it like hand and glove.

"Dunken chicken noodles": These are named such because the theory is that these spicy noodles are perfectly accompanied with an ice cold beer and also that they are a great cure for hangover.Flat rice noodles were spicy,light and perfectly made.

Coconut and jaggery icecream:Very exotic and yummy,this reminded me of bankok streets immediately.Simple flavours of coconut and jaggery chilled to perfection.

This place is like an addiction.Each dish is well made and these people strive...
