Get a bite of Kolkata’s China Town @ 47 South Tyangra Road.!
Nestled in a secluded corner on the 3rd Floor of Axis Mall, stands this powerful punch of a Chinese kitchen, which has been serving quick fares of Indianized-Chinese food since quite some time now. The menu is short, simple and sweet, and is mostly focused on dishes which suits our palette. While there may be slight touches of here and there of authentic Chinese, the trade is fairly simple, yet packs quite a punch. Owing its name of perhaps one of the most popular area in this city for serving the cuisine it offers, the restaurant does its best to offer a taste, flavor and experience so acquainted to our tastebuds.
We started off with their Lemon Coriander Chicken Soup, a lovely amalgamation of flavors emancipating from the fresh coriander, intensified by the acidity of the lemon. A sudden gush of freshness wipes past your tastebuds as you get ready to dig into their steamed chicken dumplings, made out of a thin wrapper with the coating of minced chicken and minced vegetables inside, paired along with a hearty soup. Next to come was the quintessential Chicken in Dry Chilli Oyster Sauce – soft and juicy chicken coated in a thin cornflour batter, fried and lightly tossed in a tangy and sweet oyster sauce.
Drums of Heaven in Chilly Plum Sauce kept us licking our fingers, with the sticky plum sauce absolutely overshadowing its chilli counterpart making us crave for a repeat order. The star of the day however was the Fish in Honey Lemon Mustard Sauce. A perfect combination of the sweet honey, playing tunes with the slightly bitter mustard and then both of these flavors counteracted by the acidity of the lemon. What you get is a spoon of sweet, tangy, bitter and acidic flavours all at the same time in the same bite. The mains were short and sweet. Simple Chicken Hakka Noodles and Burnt Garlic Coriander Chicken Rice paired with Hot Garlic Chicken and Chicken in Black Pepper Sauce.
The quintessential Chicken Hakka Noodles was a perfect match to the Chicken in Black Pepper Sauce – the dish owing its fiery colour probably due to the red chilly paste, it had noticeable bites of black pepper hitting the tongue, thereby elevating the otherwise blant Hakka Noodles, usually being devoid of any prominent spices. The Hot Garlic Chicken on the other hand was rather simple and sweet, and it too was a perfect match with the rather elevated Burnt Garlic Coriander Chicken Rice. A perfect tale of balancing the subtle with the spiced, this was a meal worth remembering!

Read moreI have got food delivered from this place many times and their chinese is pretty good. But my latest dine in experience at this place was not at all good! We ordered chilli pork which was fairly pricey and all they served was pork fat with hardly 2-3 small bits of meat in it. I am not exaggerating when I say that the plate was full with only fat! When we told them that there are hardly any pieces of meat and only fat, they were initially denying it saying this dish comes with both meat and fat. We had to argue for a while that in our dish there was hardly any meat and only fat. Then they reluctantly took the plate in and later served us a new plate where there were enough pieces of meat. One of the waiters apologized to us and said that mistakenly they served us more fat than meat. He was the only decent waiter there. Another waiter was very rude and lacked all soft skills. And there was a young guy, probably the youngest one there who was very weird. We called him to take our order and he saw it but instantly turned his back and stood there like a statue. If he was inexperienced, he should have called a senior for help. But instead of calling anyone, he just turned his back and stood there ignoring our call. That was extremely rude and unprofessional. I would advise the owner of this restaurant chain to appoint people with good social skills in this Newtown branch because only one man was handling everything. The rest were good for nothing. And even though the food is good, people will stop coming if they do not get good...
