Royal China
Royal China is one of the posh restaurants located in The Westin, Mundhwa and they serve Chinese and Cantonese cuisine. The restaurant has a impressive décor and is well lit. They have recently done a makeover of the decor and it is done beautifully. The restaurant has been operating since 4.5 years and has a seating capacity of around 115 pax. They also have a private dining table with seating capacity of around 20 pax which is not placed in the common seating area and does gives you a feeling of actual private dining experience. I was invited over here for #FoodTasting.
The restaurant has a dedicated menu of Dimsums and Dumpling consisting of around 110 types which is one of the most extensive menu I have seen. Although they serve Veg & Non Veg food they do have a separate vegetarain menu where only veg dishes from the menu are mentioned which will help Pure Vegetarian folks choose the dishes more quickly. A very unique thought. The Cutlery used is also impressive. They have a special serving spoon kept on the table which can be used by the guest themselves for serving the food.
Starters
Chicken - Shrimp Sui Mai Dumplings & Truffle and Edamame Dumpling: Both dumplings had a thin coating and were well steamed. The truffle and Edamame dumpling had a slight crunchy and smooth filling, it was mild on flavors yet it was brilliant in taste whereas the Chicken-Shrimp dumpling and small pieces of chicken and shrimps which were good in taste. Truffle & Edamame was a clear winner for me. #Musthave
Crispy Duck Spring Roll: Undoubtedly the best spring roll which I have had till date. The coating sheets were super thin and crispy; it was stuffed with shredded duck meat which was medium spicy and truly flavorful. It was served with Plum sauce which was also superb in taste. #Musthave
Crispy Aromatic Duck: This had deep fried duck meat which is supposed to be stuffed in roll made from pancake along with salad and Plum sauce, the pan cake was thin sheet and the salad was crunchy, it was a excellent combination and I really enjoyed it a lot. #highlyrecommended
Mains
We were almost full after having starters and wanted to try something lite in mains, so we asked Gourang for some suggestions he suggested us Prawns in Chilli and Spring Onion, Flaming Chicken in Superior Sauce and egg fried rice. The prawns in chilli & spring onion had prawns tossed in chilli oil sauce with spring onions and were bit spicy in taste, Flaming chicken in superior sauce had boneless chicken done in a medium spicy sauce which was good in taste. Both went well with Egg Fried Rice. #Recommended
Desserts
Chinese Mango Pudding: The mango pudding had a pannacotta type texture and was silky, it was served along with plain milk. It was good in taste. #Recommended
Lai Wong Bao – Steamed Custard Buns : Bao done with custard filling was excellent in taste. The Bao were super soft and fluffy, it had the perfect texture and had custard filling which was not too sweet. It was well steamed. #Musthave
Overall: Service was prompt and restaurant was hygienic. All dishes were superb on presentation level. Pricing might appear to be on higher side, but the food and hospitality is top class. The dishes that were served to us were not too strong on flavors yet they impressed me a lot.
I have never been to china nor have any idea about the authentic or traditional Chinese or Cantonese cuisine but the food that was served to us was no where close to the Chinese food that we have in most the multi cuisine restaurants which probably serve the indianized version of the Chinese food and you will definitely notice it immediately.
Special mention to the hospitality from Mr Karki and Mr Gourang from service team, they made sure we had a memorable evening. Thanks a lot Shantanu for the invite and team Royal China for hosting us. Royal China is undoubtedly a must visit place for people who want experience Chinese and Cantonese cuisine.

Read moreRoyal China, which was popularly known for their Chinese and Cantonese food has come up with a cloud kitchen. So, all those Asian delicacies you can have it delivered at home.
I’ve been always fond of their food and when I got to know that now they are delivering at home, I couldn’t resist myself to order. Starting with dumplings I had their ‘Black Mushroom Dumplings’ which were delicious. They were orange in color and filled with mushroom. The taste was just amazing. ‘Roast Pork Cheung Fun’ has been my favourite since starting and that’s why had to order again to relish that taste. It’s basically rice noodle roll which is very thin and filled with pork. It had bit of a sweet taste and that’s what it made so good. Then there was ‘Sautéed Prawns with Chinese Chive and XO sauce’. Chive basically is a Chinese herb and XO sauce is a spicy seafood sauce (originated from hongkong) and the prawns were sautéed in both of these things. It had a savoury taste. ‘Crispy Pan fried Noodles in Black bean sauce’ were turned out to be good for main course. Their black bean sauce was perfect and noodles were crispy fried.
For desserts I’ve decided to go for ‘Chocolate Mud Cake’ and it was heavenly. I had such soft and gooey cake after ages. It was delish.
Overall, this place is perfect to satisfy all your Chinese food cravings. And it’s one of the best Asian food place in...
