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.
