Indo – Chinese Cuisine
By Steven Lee
Our Story
When you think of Chinatowns, you think of San Francisco, Bangkok, or London. But Kolkata has been the home to a Chinese community since 18th century. Kolkata is also the birthplace of Indo-Chinese food, which traces back to Hakka Chinese traders who settled in the city in the late 1700s when it was the capital of the British Empire in India. Hence, to satiate the thirst for Chinese Food, the newly launched ‘Hakka Garden’ promises to deliver authentic Indian interpretation of Chinese food from the kitchen of renowned International Indo Chinese Chefs.
Indo-Chinese cuisine is essentially an Indian interpretation of Chinese food, which combines the deep-fried, spicy flavours Indians love with a Chinese twist, through ingredients like soy sauce and vinegar. Indian Chinese food has its own distinct flavours like Schezwan sauce, which uses dry red chillies as a substitute for Sichuan peppercorns. Hakka Garden at Harrow is all set to usher Indo-Chinese lovers with all its calibre.
