It takes a lot of courage to offer authentic cuisine and not dilute it to suit the palates of the average Indian diner and that is what the audacious young Cordon Bleu
Chef Nikhil Kanwar is set out to do with the support of restauranteur
Saurabh khanijo. For all those who complain about the unavailability of authentic Thai food, this festival is a must visit. The complex interplay of different flavours with a strong aromatic component is showcased successfully at the elegant
Kylin Premier.
There are only 2 vegetarian starters to choose from ,the corn cakes and the rice paper rolls. Out of these ,the delicate
Rice Paper Rolls stuffed with crunchy vegetables are for me ,the perfect summer snack . What arrived next was the
Pomelo Salad which is my all time favourite, it’s citrusy, nutty, sweet, spicy, a spellbounding plethora of flavours all coming together harmoniously. Mains offered crunchy and light stir fried greens flavoured with garlic. This was followed by the
Chu Chee Tao Hoo that comprised of fried Tofu chunks dunked in a thick creamy red sauce which sent the tongue into a tizzy. This one is flaming hot and I am sure will be loved by the patrons. The Thai green curry,
Kaeng khiao Wan, tipping towards the sweeter side was soothing after that kickass tofu and how. It completely imbibed the vividness and fragrance that a typical Thai curry is supposed to possess.
This festival starts today and is on till the 20th of this month. Did I mention I sorely missed the presence of any dessert at the festival and hope Team Kylin addresses this issue. As for chef
Nikhil kanwar, he’s here to stay.
