  • The visit to this spot was a last minute decision and was prompted at the request of a friend's craving for Hakka Style Chinese food (Hakka from the Sub Continent). Someone had recommended this spot to her so we ventured all the way out to the suburbs to try this out. The place is located in a your run of mill shopping enclave with an almost nondescript exterior. Walking in one is taken aback by the kitsch complete with a water fountain in the centre of the restaurant. The place was packed with what seemed like a lot of repeat clients (a good sign) On to the menu it covers all the bases associated with this style of food and then some surprises (Butter Masala Chicken anyone!!) I guess they can get away this as they do advertise themselves as fusion place. On to the dishes we had the following Chicken Manchurian (sweet and sour version), Fried Rice, Hot & Sour Soup, Sichuan style Egg plants, Crispy Sesame Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Now the major hitch was one of the diner asked them to hold back the spices!! Hakka cuisine without the spices is an oxymoron. Ah well. Most of the mains come with a side of rice FYI. Service was OK and we were checked on regularly. Now for the main visually they look appealing but it just stops here. The Manchurian Chicken wasn't served on a sizzling platter (a signature for this dish) and with the spices held back could have been mystery meat. Kung Pao was close to a food court version. Egg plant fared a bit better. Egg fried rice was extremely oily. Crispy beef though appetizing when warm was almost un-edible after it got cooler (might as well have been called Jerky!) I guess being oily and heavy is a given with this variation of cuisine so almost everyone was bloated. I have a feeling that it would fare better if the spices were not held back (don't you hate when a diner spoils it for everyone) I can't recommend this place. 2 Stars.
