Burma Burma
Burma Burma celebrates its 10th anniversary with a spectacular new menu titled “The 10-Year Trail.” We had the chance to try it at one of the restaurant’s Mumbai locations and spent an afternoon of delicious discovery there. The menu pays homage to ingredients and culinary traditions from different regions of Burma, highlighting the diversity of flavors in Burmese cuisine. We started our meal with a comforting corn and mushroom soup called Sarbuthi, followed by vibrant salads. The spicy and tangy Siman Thoke featured chickpea tofu and raw papaya, while the steamed rice and tofu salad was enhanced with coriander, shallot oil, crispy garlic, and more. Among the main dishes, opt for the Monk’s Meal or Kho Poong with Pebok Chet. It has been inspired by the sustainable practices of the Bago monasteries.
Burma Burma is known for its wide selection of teas and non-alcoholic drinks, including several specialty drinks. From the anniversary menu, we highly recommend the Kan Lan Yay (sugar cane juice, raspberry puree, lime, nori salt) and the Durian Float (durian fruit with a mixture of durian banana milk, black grass jelly, and coconut cream). We were blown away by all the delicacies we tried during our meal. Check out this special menu while you still can.

Slink and Bardot, Worli
Slink & Bardot has introduced a delicious new menu called “Peaks To Palms: A Journey Across India.” The second edition of “Taste of Slink,” this six-course experience promises to transport you to different corners of its country to sample its regional flavors with a signature twist. Chef Ali Akbar Baldiwala’s creations root you in vibrant places while highlighting their possibilities in delightfully innovative ways. We had the chance to indulge in the non-vegetarian tasting menu, where each dish was also paired with cocktails inspired by the same regional cuisines. Expect delights like morel tart with buckwheat, smoked almond cream, and hemp seed dukkah, which will transport you to the “peaks.” Along the way, we made stops in Banaras with a refreshing and fun Machli ki Chaat and in Rajasthan with a Dal Bati. The latter had duck stuffing, a reinvention that took us by surprise in the most delicious way. Next up, we tried the Maharashtrian lamb chop Kolhapuri and the Mangalore-inspired Buff Nasi Goreng. We ended our journey in the “palm trees” with the heavenly Idukki Gold – banana cake with coconut ice cream and fermented banana honey. You can also choose to accompany your meal with just two drinks, instead of five. Our top picks were the Pahadi Firadus, the Bengaluru 77 and the Coastal Creme.
