Creating outstanding eye-catching spaces seems to have become a trend lately in Delhi. Every restaurant is fighting to come up with a dining space to put every other eatery in the city to shame. The new rule is, ‘the more exceptional, the better'. The city now boasts of restaurants with eccentric decors and over-the-top affairs designed to catch your eye. Latest venture to join this glitzy bandwagon is ‘The Hong Kong Club'. The plush luxurious experience created at The Hong Kong Club deserves a place on every luxury magazine cover. The décor alone is spectacular. The stunning impact of glorious food and exotic ambience puts The Hong Kong Club on every gourmet's list. Address is a little offbeat but buzzing nonetheless. You will find the restaurant tucked in Andaz Delhi, Asset 1, Aerocity, New Delhi.
The Hong Kong Club is the perfect rendition of class and style. The polished glamour seen in their surroundings infuses to the menu as well, which is a dramatic compilation of Modern Cantonese cuisine. The menu evokes a sense of excitement while your palate is treated to a plethora of intense flavours generated from exotic oriental ingredients. Sip on a Chinese-inspired cocktail before tackling the first course. Let your palate be tickled with starters like, mixed mushrooms bao, cuttlefish salad, lotus root with homemade chilli sauce, crystal dumpling, crispy fried scallops with black beans, marble boiled duck egg and crispy turnip cake with hoisin vinaigrette. Further on is a delightful selection of mains such as, steam pork riblets with taro & chilli flakes, barbeque stuffed quail, battered tiger prawns with curry leaves, crispy pork belly & kasundi mustard.
A plate of king crab & asparagus fried rice or crispy noodles would be just ideal to polish off the mains. Save some appetite for The Hong Kong Club's final yet brilliant dessert course. The chef outdoes himself with sensational desserts like, classic crème brulee with mango mille feuille, tipsy chocolate brownie with caramelized hazelnuts gelato, burnt fruit with wild honey & sesame, broken carrot cake paired with pistachio cardamom gelato, iced bowl with banana blueberry meringue and salted caramel ice cream. This beautiful glass-fronted restaurant spills across two floors and is furnished in classy white & gold color palette. Décor is very much upscale and sophisticated. Chinese Ming vases and huge portraits of Asian women subtly reemphasizes the oriental theme. Book through EazyDiner to gain great offers.
