China town

8220;The cuisine is about the concept of heaven and earth. I have spent almost eight weeks in China to experience the flavour of their food. In fact the master chef, Yuan Vwei Thong is one of Beijing8217;s best chefs. The authenticity has been so taken care of that we have imported not only the ingredients but also the artifacts, furniture and a lot of other interiors that are based on the Feng-shui theme. The intention is to retain the real tinge of Chinese cuisine as well as refrain people from the Indianised version of it,8221; says Taronish Karkaria, executive director who has been into the hospitality services for the last five years.

Tian Di aims to cater to the Chinese food lovers as well as the increasing corporate crowd. With dishes such as kai-chi chicken, shanghai potato and fried squid, there is also a variety of noodles and fried rice. What makes it easier for the wallet are the offers like- the executive veg lunch priced at Rs 195, non veg for Rs 225 and seafood lunch for Rs 295.

The most interesting dish on the card is the Beijing Duck. Defining the true gastronomy, the preparation requires extreme craftsmanship since the entire cooked duck is brought on the table. The dish requires a two-hour intimation where as another dish called the Beggar8217;s chicken needs to be ordered a day in advance for its exclusive preparation.

An exciting offer that Tian Di has is that the visitors can buy most of the displays in the restaurant including the chairs. 8220;We have quite interesting objects on display that are picked up randomly from China and since the restaurant is in the Krome mall in Hadapsar that has all kinds of home decor, we decided to promote the materials too. Everything comes with a price tag,8221; smiles Karkaria.
