CHINESE CUISINE

From the all-time favorite Chilli Chicken to "drums of heaven” and "Chicken Memo”, Indian Chinese cuisine is a brilliant fusion of Chinese culinary techniques and Indian sensibilities.

Developed by a small Chinese community in Kolkata, largely comprising of Hakka immigrants from Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, it took over a century for Indo-Chinese food to achieve mainstream status.

Chinese cooking is rooted in the use of a few sauces and spices.

Soy sauce is considered a mainstay of Chinese cooking, by experts. This sauce is available in dark and light varieties, and is used with chicken, lamb, seafood, and vegetables. The sweet and spicy Hoisin sauce is another important component of Chinese cooking. It is used liberally in stir fries, to marinate meat and fish, or as a dipping sauce.

Black bean and garlic sauce is another popular sauce used for its strong flavor, and is commonly used to add zing to stir fried Chinese food.

A typical Chinese Lunch starts off with soup and appetizers. Drums of Heaven,Chicken Spring Rolls, Crispy Chilly Chicken, and Chicken Memo are popular appetizers, and our customers usually prefer Chicken Sweet Corn Soup, Chicken Mushroom Soup, Chicken Manchow Soup, Chicken clear Soup, or Chicken Hunan Wanton Soup. Increasingly, young people, especially millennials, prefer seafood, including prawns.

The main course is usually a selection of noodles, rice, poultry, seafood, lamb, and vegitables. Choice of noodlesinclude Chicken Chowmein, Chilly Chowmein,

Chicken LeefooChowmein, Chicken Singapore Chowmein, Chicken Cantonese Chowmein, Chicken American Chopsuey, Chicken Chinese Chopsuey, and Chicken Cantonese Chopsuey. Among rice dishes, Chicken Fried Rice, Szechuan Fried Rice, Chicken Leefoo Fried Rice, and Prawns Fried Rice are popular.

Among poultry dishes, Chilli Chicken is by far the top favorite, including Diced Chilli Chicken, and Fried Chilli Chicken. Chicken Manchurian is a close second, followed by Ginger Chicken, Garlic Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Shangai Chicken, and Hunan Chicken.

Ice cream is quite popular as a dessert, probably because of the hot and spicy nature of popular Indo-Chinese recipes.
