Ohri's Ming Court was one of the first Chinese Restaurants in the city and even today serves one of the best Indo-Chinese delicacies. We were invited to a food tasting table for lunch. The ambiance of the place is amazing with beautiful Chinese pottery and cutlery. The manager Mr. Fareed was very courteous and ensured that we thoroughly enjoyed our food tasting session.
We started off with the Chicken Manchow soup. This is one of the most popular soups in China and has aromas of garlic, chilli and coriander.
We then had the Vegetable Chilli Sticks. This dish had minced vegetables on a stick, deep fried and tossed with spicy sauce.
The next dish was dragon prawns where the prawns were cooked in a rich flavorful sauce which was a combination of sweet and spicy.
We then had the Ming's Special Chicken which is their signature dish. The presentation was brilliant with a flame glowing inside the capsicum.
The next dish was the crackling spinach. I am usually someone who doesn't like vegetarian food especially greens and so was very reluctant to try this. But finally when I did I really ended up liking it although it has a slight bitter aftertaste.
By this time our mock tails arrived. The first one was the fruit punch which was creamy.
The next one was the apple cranberry mojito which tasted really good.
The first dish in the main course was the Triple Szechwan Rice which was great.
The next item was the Bamboo rice which was served from a bamboo.
For the side dish we had Szechwan chicken prepared with szechwan chilli paste, garlic, ginger and celery.
We then started off with the desserts. The first one was walnut brownie with vanilla ice-cream.
We then had the fried ice-cream. This was great with an outer coating of coconut while the vanilla ice-cream melted with every bite.
Overall: One of the best places with amazing Indo-Chinese food and a definite must visit.
