move over the china gardens and the china gates, we stumbled upon a gem in town!.....
we encountered this place in search for a chinese place in the not-so-late hours of the nite (11.30 p.m. on a friday night)....further probing in to the restaurant lead us to our first surprise; decent ambience, a moderately sized place, and almost empty!!.....
we placed the last order at 11.30 pm....which was served to us like the flash of a genie......not even minutes later that we stepped in to the restaurant, were we gulping down gallons of soup......The 3 of us ordered 2 large soups (each soup serves 3); the first one a crab asparagus soup (Rs. 275/-), and for the giant in me, the non-veg sour pepper wanton soup (Rs. 220/-). We picked on the chilly pepper prawn (Rs. 230/-); 8 amazing pieces of prawn sauted to perfection in a spicy sauce. We reveled in the chicken gineger garlic with gravy (Rs. 200/-) and the khao phad gaprao ghoong (a red-spicy thai fried rice interspersed with bits and morsels of chicken priced at Rs. 180/-) which were of huge proportions.
Definitely a steal in lieu of the prices and the portions, definitely a step away from the chinese places prefixed with the word 'china' to impress its authenticity, this one surely needs repetitive probings!
