Discover love for Pan Asian cuisine

Down foodpath

My journey began with street cooking in an old place called Nikasi in the southern part of Delhi. As a beginner, I was always keen to learn the work because I was very passionate about cooking. Though it was hard for me when I used to see the chefs handle hot wok in front of fire, it became the grounding for me to learn more. 

The second part started at Gourmet Gallery as a commi (assistant to a chef). The place used to be one of the best at that time when the restaurant business was growing in Delhi. They were serving authentic Chinese and from there, I never looked back. I decided to focus on Pan Asian cuisines and preparation. 

Then I became the first person to start with Chinese cuisine at Hyatt Regency.

 Consequently, we were awarded the best Chinese cuisine award continuously for five years. Now I am with Kylin Premier, Vasant Kunj from last two years. I am enjoying my time by creating and adding new offering to the menu while learning and engaging with my patrons. 

Nothing spells pampering like a hot, steaming bowl of Khowsuey — a Burmese noodle dish. The soupy noodle preparation from Shan state of Burma can be taken as a soup or main course. The preparation is the mix of spicy flavourful coconut milk along with seafood, poultry, and meats, boiled noodle and eggs.
