Open China
Located at Juhu near Horizon it’s Mumbai’s first Boutique Chinese Restaurant. They serve some delicacies in Chinese Food while dining there.
They also taught me how to use Chopsticks which literally took time to understand the way of handling them, but yes its fun if you love doing new tasks.
So Starting with the Ambience
Open China according to the name is not in an open place. They are a well built restaurant with pretty beautiful interiors and wallpapers.
Some designed walls compatible with their tables and sofa’s , this place gives you a warm and cozy feeling and is very comfortable to have you lunch / dinner at!
I tried some new Chinese dishes here :
Drinks :
Blue Sea – Blue sea mocktail isnt new. At Open China they serve ” Blue Sea ” in a jar with perfect blend of juices and a scoop of vanilla icecream
Melony – As the name, this mainly consisted of water melony juice 😉 , and some pineapple and passion fruit syrup and served in a glass.
Soup :
Chicken Clear Soup – Nothing much special about this , mostly same in taste. Those who like clear soup may definitely try this option.
They also serve manchow soup, some veg soups tooo…
Dim-Sum :
Scallop dumpling – Made of prawns & scallop these dumplings were server hot and in a cute round box so that they remain hot. The outer layer was orange in colour made by some seasoning which made it look pretty attractive. Steamed till perfection, They are meant to eat by chopsticks in which u require high patients which will ofcourse in return give u a wonderful taste.
Appetizers:
Butter garlic prawns – At open china this appetizer became my favorite dish. Prawns me with garlic tossed in butter served in beautiful presentation, these prawns also were delicious and worth trying.
Salt n pepper smoked chicken – Chicken made with bell pepper with some smoky aroma and seasoned by salt, pepler and their in house special sauce this tastes good when we eat them hot and instantly as served.
Main Course :
Schezwan chicken – Quite basic dish like normally fresh chicken made with schezwan sauce this dush really goes well if we eat along with Fried rice.
Egg fried rice. – Everyone is aware of this basic chinese dish which is prepared in every corner of India. A bowl of fried rice with strips of omelette on the rice it was presentable and tasted perfect in terms of salt and other spices
Hong-Kong Fried soy noodles – Another delicacy to eat with chopsticks. Best Hong Kong Fri noodles i ate till date. Do surely try this as it my fill ur stomah but not you heart (if you are hardcore chinese foodie)
Desserts:
Noir – Made of Belgium chocolate mousse, some chocolate creme and a layer of feuilletine this dessert is counted in one of the best desert at Open China. Its my personal recommendations to try this dessert and to enjoy it.
Framboise – Made of raspberry curd and dark chocolate mousse this dessert is beautifully presented which is click- worthy and taste – worthy.
Banoffee – Cutest dessert here made of vanilla white chocolate mousse, caramelized banana with some additional caramel this dessert is really good to try.
The service was fast and the staff in terms of help and queries was great. Came to know lot about Chinese cuisine. Do head over here to get a glimpse of chinese food with some beautiful interiors and ambience.
