Tigers Experience of Soy in Khan Market

SOY ,So Chinese - khan market =

 One word to rate my experience on a hot day is “Comfort” …. It definitely adds to the experience when you know the people behind the establishment – the food taste better , the experience turns out awesome – Niten being a hotelier himself has taken keen interest in his restaurant which includes the ambience the food the service . Comfort food for sure with nice distinct flavors . Was quite lucky that the kitty party ladies wereon the floor above lol . Was greeted by a sweet lil lady (niten a suggestion its too hot for the hostess get her a umbrella the jap ones will help her keep her complexion and will add good face value to soy ) escorted up – greeted by Hemant the manager of SOY – Seated ,good airconditioing , and the best is no smell of the kitchen in the eating area . On being seated Hemant insisted we try the Soy Special Thai Mojito – lemon grass based extremely refereshing indeed . The Menu was a pleasure to see a menu which displays the pics of what you can eat – I have always appreciated restaurant s who do this – I believe in a small silly saying in hindi “dikhta nahi hai bikta nahi hai” ,hemant wanted us to order – like a horrible foodie dictated what we wanted – a soup a starter an entrée a main dish and rice but in small portions ; he started of with sir please try the chefs choice in the menu – to which I reacted and said “Hemant today please serve us food which is not recommenede by the chef or is not his choice “ I find this funny why fo establishements have thinsg like chefs choice , chefs corner etc – man who cooks the rest of it LOL. Anyway we ordered a set of Dimsums a mix of veg and non veg – didn like the veg dimsums as the wrappers were stuck to the fillings but I guess the chef had no choice – the non veg dimsums were full of flavor (Bar B Q , Sui Mui ,Prawn Har gao)only recommendation was to increase the size LOL ; A Soup – Curry Laksa with chicken – very original surpiringly light ,well balanced– I asked the chef why – he gave a good reason ‘ if you fill ur self up with a soup who the hell will have the rest of the meal – “lol. Starters a tray of Schezuan mushrooms – nice cud do with a bit more spic in them ; Ant the main course – chicken Basil chilli from the wok – very nice dish – great flavors ;Crispy Red Snapper with Tagy Thai sauce – I always try this dish every where i go beocs I love thai sauce – nice crisp fish – found it a bit hard tho but I guess that’s how it happens when you make the fish crisp ;Asian Greens – thank you INA for introducing these awesome greens to us – lovely steamed veggies with burnt garlic my all time favorite for healthy eating hahahaha; Ya ya a gravy item also prawn green curry – the curry was abs original no extra cream – the prawns were huge and a bit hard – but good curry ; and and and fried rice with ginger and chestnuts – wah kya baathai very nice flavors and singada kee itni izzat hahahahah Desert ladies and gentleman was the only dish we had on the recommendation of the owner – Tab Tim grob (pardon the spelling) Flavored coconut milk with water chestnuts with crushed ice served in a baby coconut shell – so damn refreshing a must try . Overall a very comfortable experience and the bill added to the comfort only a 700 per head yippppyyy was a truly happy man was expecting a min of 1100 per head lol . Soy gives you an experience of fine dinning with the décor and ambience crafted by our sumit nath , the uniforms , the smiling educated staff , the chefs full attention , a well crafted menu and of course Niten the owner hanging around – the food isn’t really fine dinning as we call it , it is basic simple adds immense flavors on the palate – and doesn’t pinch your pocket for sure . Tigers Experience gives Soy a 8/10 .
