Pan Asian

Pan Asian, The Maratha, MumbaiAt The Maratha, Mumbai, I decide to try the highly regarded Pan Asian this time. I have earlier posted about Dakshin and Dum Pukht, two other gourmet restaurants in this hotel.
Pan Asian turns out to be an excellent choice. The massive display kitchens makes for a lively dinner experience, especially for those dining alone (like I am tonight).

Pan Asian, The Maratha, MumbaiThe kitchens showcase delectible cuisines from China, Thailand, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. This premier upscale restaurant owes its success to two striking factors, the décor and the authentic cuisine of Chinese Chef Liang. The restaurant also serves a variety of sushi and sashimi.

Pan Asian, The Maratha, MumbaiI choose the steamed Prawn Dumplings followed by Prawn Thai Curry. Both are superb! Very fresh prawns can make a world of difference. The dim-sums are delicious, as is the the Thai curry: a perfect blend of coconut milk, spices, bell peppers, pineapple chunks and large prawns with steamed rice. Today am I pairing the food with a glass of Grover's Cabernet Shiraz.

Dessert consisting of Vanilla Bean ice-cream with Cantonese crisp stuffed coconut pancake makes for a memorable grand finale to a great dining experience.


And fellow Bollywood fans fyi: just when I begin digging into my desserts, in walks Sridevi with some friends. I notice she can still turn heads. :-)

Yes, ITC hotels have cracked Asian food. At the Pan-Asian in the Marriott in Delhi, there is a Teppenyaki grill I will heartily recommend.

Also, here is an earlier review of the Zen at Leela Bangalore.

@hari nair: You are right. A few years back, all you could find was good Chinese food. Things are a lot different now, esp so in the five-star circuit.
