Elevated Dining-Elevated Flavours: Symphony of Duck and Unlimited Dim Sums at Far & East
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (NewsVoir) This season, high above Bengaluru's skyline, two delicious tales unfold at Far & East, the elegant Pan-Asian restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru. Curated by Chef Wong Chin Sheong, the hotel's Chinese Chef, each experience reflects a journey steeped in tradition and artistry. With over two decades spent in acclaimed kitchens across Malaysia, Dubai, and India, Chef Wong brings a deeply intuitive approach to regional cuisine—where his mastery over Cantonese and Szechuan traditions is beautifully balanced with contemporary flair. From the layered, flavour-rich Symphony of Duck—a soulful homage to the beloved bird—to the Unlimited Dim Sum Lunch, an invitation to linger over delicate bites and unhurried conversations, each experience is crafted to delight. Whether drawn by the richness of culinary heritage or the joy of unhurried flavour, Far & East promises a dining experience that truly rises above. Symphony of Duck: This is a showcase of flavour, tradition, and technique where each dish is a dialogue between heritage and reinvention. At the heart of the menu is the classic Peking Duck, served with Chinese pancakes, cucumber, leeks, Bengaluru farm leaves, and a sweet duck sauce. Lacquered to perfection and carved tableside in a quiet, elegant ritual, it sets the tone for an experience that is both soulful and refined. The journey continues with a Cantonese-style roast duck, its richness balanced by the brightness of plum and fresh coriander, and a Thai roasted duck curry—comforting, fragrant, and gently layered with the warmth of spice and coconut. Contemporary expressions surprise and delight, from a Peking Duck sushi roll where Chinese tradition meets Japanese restraint, to a truffle-scented duck fried rice that feels both indulgent and familiar. Delicate duck potstickers, filled with spring onion, ginger, and cabbage, offer a nod to Northern Chinese street food—elevated, of course, in true Four Seasons style. Unlimited Dim Sum Lunch: A weekday indulgence designed for those who wish to slow down and savour, the menu pays homage to the centuries-old Cantonese art of dim sum, combining refinement with generosity. Guests can indulge in wave after wave of handcrafted dumplings—both vegetarian and non-vegetarian—served alongside carefully curated mains and light, elegant desserts. The afternoon begins with classics—steamed pork dumplings and chicken shumai, perfectly pleated and full of flavour—before making way for bolder interpretations such as Sichuan-spiced chicken or the deeply satisfying yang rou jiao. Dishes arrive gently paced, encouraging conversation and contemplation. Mains such as the delicately steamed chicken with water chestnut bring warmth and depth to the experience, while a final flourish of artisanal ice creams and sorbets provides a cool, cleansing finish. Together, these two offerings embody the spirit of Far & East—where culinary craftsmanship, thoughtful storytelling, and a spectacular setting come together to create something truly memorable. Whether one chooses to escape for a languid afternoon or experience the artistry of duck in its most elegant forms, Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru once again proves that dining here is never just a meal—it's a moment.

Royal China's New Menu Offers An Exquisite Culinary Melange Of Old And New - It's A Must-Try
Ask any Chinese food fan, and Royal China would be on their favourites list. Tucked inside the elegant corridors of The Chanakya, New Delhi, Royal China has long been a name that spells timeless sophistication and impeccable Chinese cuisine. I have always been a fan, so I was naturally excited to experience their newly launched menu, which promises to blend traditional flavours with modern flair. After spending a languid afternoon indulging in their latest offerings, I can confidently say it's a masterstroke. When I visited Royal China, it felt like I stepped into the calm, dimly lit expanse of the 100-seater restaurant, and I could sense that something special awaited. The new menu is a well-thought-out journey through textures, aromas, and refined presentation. I began my meal with two cocktails-Old Fashioned and New York Sour. The Old Fashioned was refreshingly potent, with orange zest taking centre stage. While some might find the bitter edge a tad strong, I personally found it well balanced. The New York Sour, on the other hand, was a gentler sip- light yet layered, and a lovely prelude to what was to come. Pairing the cocktails with Crispy Calamari with Burnt Garlic was a decision I didn't regret. The crisp texture, combined with the punchy burnt garlic, was addictive. But it was the main course that truly stole the show. The Braised Fish in Chilli and Black Bean Sauce was a revelation- spicy, umami-rich, and perfectly cooked. Equally memorable were the Chilli Plum Prawns- succulent, tangy, and luxurious with every bite. But if there's one dish that elevates the dining experience into a performance, it's the Peking Duck. Watching the chef expertly assemble the rolls right at the table, with steam gently rising, was as delightful as the first bite itself. The menu is vast, and every dish attracts you to try it. From Salt and Pepper Calamari to Sauteed Chicken with Green Chilli, the flavour profile remains sharp and consistent. Vegetarians aren't left behind either - The Five Treasure Vegetable, French Beans with Burnt Garlic, and Shitake Mushroom Stir Fry. While I couldn't try them all, they sure looked tempting. Accompanying the mains are an array of noodles and rice that deserve attention in their own right. The Ho Fun Noodles Chicken and Burnt Chilli Garlic Noodles (both veg and non-veg versions) are satisfying, smoky and packed with soul. A highlight of this seasonal revamp is the expanded Dim Sum menu, reaffirming Royal China's place as a dim sum destination in Delhi. And if you're looking to indulge, the Unlimited Dimsum Brunch (Mon-Thurs, 12 PM to 3:30 PM) is a deal you shouldn't miss. Another exciting addition is the Ladies Luncheon Menu- a thoughtfully priced, multi-course meal perfect for group gatherings, celebrations, or an elegant weekday catch-up. With over 200 dishes, Royal China's new menu feels like both a nostalgic return to classic Chinese and a bold step into the contemporary. It's an experience that satisfies both the curious and the comfort-seeking diner. The robust Chinese flavours are still lingering in my mouth and heart.
