The place has a nice selection of mocktails and Sudhakar decided to go in for the Burping Panda. This was a mix of ginger ale and apple and was quite nice, especially if you like ginger based drinks.


Hot and Sour chicken soup was the soup of the day. A good amount of chicken in it and nice mix of hot and sour. I always sour up my soups more with vinegar chili sauce and this one was not spared either. Junior liked it quite a bit too and downed most of her bowl.


Starters too were brought to the table - there was Crispy veggies which was zucchini, potato, cauliflower, babycorn and garnished off with some spring onions. These did have crispy coats and were hot on the inside. Veggie fried wontons were there too which junior thoroughly enjoyed. There was spicy chicken wings which were really spicy but deliciously so. I actually asked for a second round of this. Chicken steamed momos rounded up the starter selection. We were tempted to take more starters, but decided to hit the main course instead.



I started with the salads, 2/3 which I feel were more of accompaniments than salads in themselves - there was the curried vegetable salad, which really did have a good curry flavoring to it. Quite nice for a salad to taste that way. There was kimchi which was more the instant done-in-a-day style rather than the ferment-over-a-while way. And there was a radish, carrot and beet salad that was quite vinegary thus putting it in my accompaniment list rather than eat-alone salad. But then again, all the salads were crisp, fresh and crunchy.


And now for the main courses. On the plate below there is Spinach and garlic noodles. These were in between crisp and moist and could be eaten on their own. Good for kids who sprout perpetual allergies to gravies like mine does. There was also the option of a vegetarian rice.  In the the non-veg options there was Shredded lamb with peppers - slightly spicy and a good choice with the noodles. The Fish in Hoisin sauce was another well done dish, the gravy a nice mix of sweetish spicy, good for a rice though if you are not a fan of spicy. And then there was the Tsinghai Chicken which was cooked in rice wine and had the ever so slight fermented taste to it, but was unanimously mine and Sudhakar's favorite of the lot.


Just as for the non-veggies, there was three (if I am not wrong) options for the vegetarians in gravy, all of which did sound nice. And then for dessert, 3 options - a kiwi souffle, a Banana toffee and vanilla ice cream. The souffle for nice and the banana toffee my choice of the lot. Took it twice. Not an ice-cream person, but judging from Anoushka's eating it (which strange for a child her age, she rarely does) it was good.
