The ongoing Dimsum festival is a
perfect mélange of taste and flavor that is beautifully curated by the ardent
team of Rice. The festival ends by 7th
Feb 2018. I was invited by the PR Manager , Ms. Arshee Gujral to review the
festival. Elated and enthralled I accepted and visited the place on a weekend. 


Rice – Oriental Dining @ The Radisson Blu Dwarka –

 
Rice, the Oriental dining
restaurant depicts contemporary take on perceived oriental design. The
interiors resonate authentic and humble Chinese flavor. The suave splash of the
red in the ambience reflects the tranquility of Chinese tradition in the
restaurant that adds to the fancy atmosphere of the restaurant.
The upholstered sofas and chairs sewn with elegant silk fabrics also compliment
the Asian theme.
Near the entrance, sits a figurine and a dragon made
with white chocolate that resonates finesse and beauty. Large windows usher in the warm sunshine
on a bright winter morning. It was blissful sitting next to the window while
enjoying the perfectly manicured lawns of the hotel.
The Dimsum festival –
The festival has a variety of
vegetarian dim sums including Shitake Mushroom, Water Chestnut, Spinach, Corn,
Pomegranate, Tofu and many more. The non-vegetarian dim sums include chicken,
prawns, fish, Lamb and many more. The healthier alternative is the wheat and
barley dimsums for a guilt-free eating experience!
Food Review –
 
My daughter and I love soups. So we
preferred to order some soup and salad before devouring the highlight of the festival.
I ordered for the Tom Yum, while she preferred the West Lake. Both the soups
deserve ten on ten because of the consistency, perfection, taste and quality.
The
presentation was great and the quantity was perfect. The salad that we selected was the Thai chicken lemon grass. This one definitely blew my mind
owing to the consistency of lemongrass flavor that did not overpower the
essence of vegetable and the well done chicken. The softness of chicken is
indeed commendable.
The series of dimsums started arriving
and I have to say our server, Mr. Altaf did a great job in serving us.  Two dimsums of each variant were served. The first dimsum was the Prawns Hargaw – a Crystal vegetable
dumpling with burn chilly oil.
It had a very good texture, the respective
fillings precisely cooked. The next was Chicken Chili Roll; tempered with chilli and
tasted brilliant. it was followed by The chicken half moon pocket which had a lively spice level but not
overwhelming: this was a really top-notch dimsum.
Also lovely was the steamed fish
ball. The fish stuffing were extremely delicate and the dressing was terrific,
sweet and tender, with a hint of spice. The vegetarian ones we tried were the
Spice Jade and Spinach Corn.  The
stuffings of both the dimsums qualify well with the covering which looked
presentable and tasted simply delicious.
The main course consisted of Thai
Green Curry, some Malaysian fish curry made with turmeric, prawn noodles and
rice.
The prawn noodles had a spicy
garlic intonation and was equally satiating. I loved the Thai Green curry.
Sautéed in a wok, the softness of chicken and vegetables are retained well
while the lemongrass adds to the flavor. However, it was the Malaysian fish
curry that stole my heart. Recommended by the head chef, this one works well
for the palette.
After the delicious odyssey of Dimsums,
it was now time for the desserts. The chef presented his signature ice cream
made with jaggery.  This dessert is perfect
for people who love sweets yet opt for healthy options. Devoid of extra sugar,
the jaggery coconut ice cream has the right proportion of sweetness that matched
our expectations quite well.
I loved food festival as much as I
enjoyed the interiors, décor and hospitality. The unique balance in each dimsum
makes it different from the others and satiates the desire for great food.
