Happy New Year! Here’s a little thread of the 10 best dishes I’ve had in 2023… in Kolkata, Mumbai, Goa… and one from Shantiniketan. In no particular order. Not a list for vegetarians or folks with sweet tooth.
1. Chimney Soup, Flavours of China, Kolkata
Ever since How Hua shut down, the Chimney Soup story in Kolkata has been dismal. Eau Chew and Nu Wan Li do decent versions but they fall short. But earlier this year, I dived into this magic cauldron at the famous Park Street restaurant and man, that broth! Bringing out the flavours of all that meat and vegetables. Have the large one… make it your starter, main course and dessert. (1/10)

Here's another. This one's about the iconic Peter Cat restaurant on Park Street. Did you know the Delhi band @pcrcdelhi gets its name from this Kolkata restaurant and Murakami? The band plays in Kol on Sep 23. https://t.co/42pOfPaE02
An anecdote: 25 years ago, when Kolkata's Mocambo restaurant was experimenting with new dishes, it dedicated the Fish a la Diana to Princess Diana, who had just died. Will a new dish now be dedicated to the late Queen? Read about Park Street's food icons: https://t.co/O3scerhSAk
