This tiny eatery in Connaught Place is a
must for those looking for authentic and reasonably priced Chinese food. And this
one we've eaten at, several times, unlike the earlier ones, which we visited only
once. And Francis Kuok and Anu Bakshi have recently introduced a three course fixed
lunch for Rs. 100 (which we didn't try) and a delicious Lychee with Lemon Chicken
and Smoked Chicken, which we did try. All served up in a sparse and tidy but comfortable
40 seater eatery with green plants. Their Fa Yian Hot Pot (Rs.220 for the choice
of non veg) is a hot favourite with my guide and host who takes me there all the
time. Meltingly soft dumplings (Sui Chiao Rs. 75) dunked in garlic soya sauce are
another absolute must. Actually, we have sampled quite a wide cross section and
found most of it very good be it Jee Bow Har (paper wrapped prawns served with oyster
dip at Rs. 120) or Chilli Chicken (Rs.90) or Honey Potato (Rs.80). They even do
an interesting Lychee Ice Cream (Rs.45) and keep adding to their simply printed,
no frills menu card.
