Chungking Mansions to me is a very underrated landmark of Hong Kong. Even an old movie took this name as its title and the scripts in that movie is absolutely beautiful. We are not talking about movies today but food. Coming to Chungking Mansion, with no doubt, we are looking for some good Indian food! To be honest, I think Indian food is one of the most affordable kind of cuisine in Hong Kong, a perfect way to fight against inflation during this difficult time in Hong Kong. As long as we were s
To be honest, I think Indian food is one of the most affordable kind of cuisine in Hong Kong, a perfect way to fight against inflation during this difficult time in Hong Kong.
As long as we were seated, we were of course served with some crispy warm papadum with the classic lime green sauce. Pretty standard but I like that they serve with a foiled container to maintain its temperature.
Indian food is generally heavily spiced so we ordered some plain naan instead. The naan is the thicker type with a little more dough-y kind of feel, the inner part of the dough is very airy after being heated in a super hot oven, therefore you may see some part of the naan can be separated into two layers.
Then it comes to the mutton curry which is not as spicy and is interestingly served in a claypot. The mutton pieces are very soft with no gamey taste. The curry is not a cream based curry which I like. I believe it's a mix of tomato, cilantro, garlic, onion and much more. It's a rather sweet taste curry with a little bit of heat, perfect to go with the plain fluffy naan!
Tandoori chicken is one of their signature dishes. 4 big pieces of chicken sitting on a bed of veggies on a sizzling hot skillet, the very authentic way to enjoy this Indian BBQ type of meat. The chicken has been marinated until very flavourful. Meanwhile, they are not too fatty even though they are quite moist and succulent. A dash of lemon juice would awaken the flavour of the lean meat.
Finishing off the meal with a cup of hot masala tea is how I roll. Winter is coming soon so it's nice to drink something hot rather than the cold mango lassi! Masala tea is something I used to make all the time back in the UK, so I really miss that very unique taste from the spice, something that I would never forget.
