Satay Food Fest & More At Imperial China : Delicious Diaries Reloaded At Hilton Mumbai

I absolutely love Chinese food, yup, the Indian Chinese version. But over the years, my sensitive stomach has started rejecting the overly oily, spices and gravies laden chinese food we binge on throughout our college days without a second thought. I knew that my feast at Imperial China would be devoid of any such worries and I was so on point! Was here for a sneak peek at their ongoing Satay Food Fest and ended up feasting on some classic as well as innovative delicacies.

The ambiance is classic heritage, color scheme muted but elegant, choicest of arts and artifacts elevating the ambiance, staff is simply delightful, providing warmth in every interaction, service is quite fast, quality of food avant garde as expected from a brand such as Hilton. In the ongoing Satay Food Fest, we have a choice of veg as well as non veg satays. We tried and simply loved Paneer as well as Mushroom & Cheese satays. Pay special attention to accompanying sauces with every dish, they are brilliant. A special mention for their Jasmine Tea, has to be the strongest one I have had anywhere!

Among the specialties the good Chef prepared for us, we recommend..everything! We found distinct flavors, freshness and lip smacking quality (along with very good quantity) in every dish and there wasn't a single false note. We especially loved the Veg Imperial Dragon soup,choc a bloc with veggies & tofu, extremely crunchy and mildly spicy Chilly Basil Corn, mouth-watering Hot Basil Rice, unbelievably delicious Schezwan Eggplant (even my eggplant-hating-sister loved it!) and Chilly Baby Corn..told you,everything is superlative here. The entire dining experience has been a memorable one and cannot wait to be back here :)

Magical Dining Experience A La Arabian Nights At Opa Bar & Cafe, The Peninsula Grand Hotel, Mumbai

Image
Already had a wonderful time at Peninsula restaurant at The Peninsula Grand Hotel in company of loved ones last month, so getting a chance to visit Opa Bar & Cafe for a review session with foodie friends was like a dream come true. The ambiance is amazing and crowd is classy. Colorful, vibrant and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in every way, this is one spacious place to chill out with friends and forget all stress of the day. Service is leisurely and prices are on higher side. Nothing matters when food and coffee here is excellent.  Yes, even though it is a bar and has superb drinks (I recommend Long Island Tea), coffee is unbelievably good. Ferrero Shake is also a must-have. Among food starters, Mushrooms on Toast, Bruschetta, Cottage Cheese Aglio Olio, Brie Fritters are very good. Mushrooms are creamy, Bruschetta is crispy refreshing, Cottage Cheese melt in mouth and Fritters so cheesy! In main course, Pasta in Pink Sauce was my favorite, not too heavy and full of flavor

Beautiful spacious abode of excellent dishes from legendary Grand Trunk route, binge on some dishes not available elsewhere, each one of them has extremely authentic taste (I have spent my childhood eating authentic Bengali, Bihari, UP, Punjabi food, so this was a beloved homecoming sort of feast)! Ambiance is elegant, the open kitchen rightly occupies center-stage, staff is polite and good at suggesting appropriate dishes as per one's tastebuds, service is fast and menu is vaaaaaaast with more than enough choices for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Each dish is succinctly explained in the menu and ingredients used are clearly top-notch. Loved and would recommend- -- Shatawari Aur Kalari- Grilled Kalari Cheese, Asparagus, crunchy, lip-smacking, --Moccchar Cutlet -Banana Flower cutlet,crispy,excellent with accompanying mustard sauce, -- Dahi Bhutteyan De Kebab -Dahi, Corn, Kebab, melt in mouth softness, enough said!  --Chatpatey Pa
