On first inspection, Mr. Choy seems to be distressingly familiar. Located in Khan
Market, the place has started garnered attention already. The dimly lit
interiors have a quirky ambiance that is perfectly suitable for peace lovers.

First Impression
 
Wide open spaces and subtle music
bagged ten stars immediately. The dining space indoors decorated with artifacts
related to Japan look highly appealing. The first floor has a wide area and
less furniture allowing more space to walk.
The live kitchen on the other end
of the large glass exhibits maestros in disguise who can be seen preparing
exotic dishes. The second floor has a bar and less open space, but matches well
with the mood and vibrancy of the place.I found the place as a refuge from the regular restaurants.

In this case
means you can get scrumptious food, liquor and a great ambiance. A keen eye for
detail has been given to delicious recipes with a dash of entertainment to
unwind.

Mr. Choy is run by Mr. Choy himself & Chef Augusto Cabrera and managed Executive Chef Mr. Bhaskar who
have a diligent team that run the show artistically.

The hard work has played
off well with the turnover of people who come here for great food and
hospitality. On a weekday I and my daughter decided to visit the place and devour some
of the signature dishes by Mr. Choy.

The menu consisted of an array of dishes,
which included soups, starters and main course. Chef Bhaskar ensured we were
looked after well during the entire experience.

The Food Experience
 
We started with the salads. The Beetroot, Carrots, Cucumber and Sweet
potato salad with Sriracha Dressing is a great start for salad lovers. Prepared
with Juliennes of beetroot, Carrot and cucumber, it has a sweet and spicy
dressing garnished with roasted sweet potato and almonds. The subtle dressing
does not overpower the vegetables which makes this dish a great refreshing start.
We relished the salad with some drinks. I enjoyed a Minty Chang (mocktail)
while my daughter ordered for Scottish plum. The mocktail is sinful made with Orange
chunks, Orange Juice with Mint and sprite; while the Scottish Plum is made with
Scotch whisky, Prunes Cranberry juice muddled together
The Crispy Duck Roll – The Slow cooked Thai Duck rolls are marinated in
famous Char Sui sauce fried till crisp and are served with Hoison sauce. The
crunchy covering matched well with the well done fillings of minced duck and
lemon grass which was very soft.
The Chicken Wonton in Chili oil – Succulent Chicken dumplings wrapped in
thin Flour Sheets. Steamed and served with sweet and spicy chili sauce. The chicken
was delicious with the fine taste and juiciness. We devoured this dish whole
heartily.
Vegetarian Gyoza: Japanese Pan Fried dumplings with Chef Augusto’s twist
of exotic Vegetables and Basil. This dish is a delicacy that the chef
recommended us to try.
Lavastone Grilled Chicken: Chicken Thigh marinated in Chef Augusto’s
signature Filipino marinade made up of child, garlic, mayonnaise and soy.
A
delight to the taste buds. The freshness of garlic, mayonnaise and soy are
mixed well. The seasoning is well accentuated making it the perfect combination
of taste and presentation.
Steamed Snapper with Black bean and Ginger: Fresh
red snapper steamed with ginger, scallion, and Chef Choy’s Black Bean sauce. I
adored this dish. The Steamed Snapper is
done well with a spicy intonation that is mixed well. The snapper had fresh ginger
and ground pepper. It was the perfect match with Mushroom and ginger fried rice with toasted Garlic.
We sealed the
meal with Sesame Balls. The dumplings
are a specialty by Chef Choy made with Black and White sesame seeds
dusted with almond dust and blueberry sauce.
