Slurrp Reviews Kylin Experience's Premium Asian Fare, Thoughts And Yummy Recipes Inside

Delhi’s love affair with Asian food is no strange fiction, most of the capital’s best fine dining destinations happen to be Asian. For the longest time, Chinese cuisine had a monopoly of sorts in the realm, but over the years we have seen Burmese, Korean, Tibetan, and Japanese cuisine find their own loyal fan base. The Kylin Experience has consistently been one of the most sought-after Pan-Asian dine-in destinations for Delhiites, with branches in Vasant Kunj, Aerocity and Mayur Vihar, Kylin is indeed making all the right noise. But is it really worth all the hype? Here are our thoughts, in exact same order.  

The oriental décor and the mood lighting in the Vasant Kunj outlet truly elevates the dining experience. From the cushiony lounges to the old-school wooden tables, Kylin has a mix of marvelous elements.The menu is pretty expansive, with a mix of sushi, dim sums, krabi bowls, rice bowls, cocktails and desserts.  

The prawn tempura sushi is satiating to bits. The crunchy tempura coating of prawns is very impressive. All sushi is served on a black, stone plate with wasabi, ginger pickle and soy sauce.  

If you do not fancy your sushi to have any kind of crunch, you should go for the spicy salmon roll, which is not spicy at all by Indian standards, but definitely a delightful departure from the milder sushis on the menu. The salmon is soft and well done, and the sushi is again very wholesome.

Proceeding to the dumplings, there are four in one portion. The decent size, generous filling, and presentation are very impressive. The spicy chicken dumplings have a minced chicken filling, we loved how the casing was so thin, it came on a bed of chilli oil and was topped off with burnt garlic crisps. A complete snack in itself.

Next, we tried on the Chicken and Basil dumpling. It’s a purple-colored dumpling, perfect for the gram, in terms of flavour too it is superior to the previous, as its chicken mince also has a bit of an umami, curry flavour maybe this is why they do not go overboard with the presentation of this one.

Post this was the turn of the Krabi Bowl. Noodles covered with heaps of minced chicken, kaffir lime, basil leaves and chillies. Looks very simple, but it is only after a bite or two do you appreciate the place of every single element in this lovely meal bowl.

If you fancy, sweet, smooth cocktails with a lot of character, go for Oriental Passion (Passion fruit vodka, Kaffir lime, and pineapple). If you want to be edgy, you can go for chilli coriander Martini (Vodka, fresh chilies, and coriander.)

That’s not all, we also fetched the recipe of Krabi Bowl and Veg Tempura Sushi for you. See if you can try making it at home.
