We were invited to a Parsi dinner for the New Year. The owner and chef of this private kitchen is a Parsi.

The food was delicious. Home made, hardly any oil and very light food. As authentic as it can get. Good flavours, spices blended delicately, everything was just right.

It's a private kitchen and their menu keeps changing. They can seat about 25 - 30 people including outdoor seating. Probably best if you call them and ask / tell what you want. A little bit planning will make the experience wonderful.

We had

Lamb with Apricot - This was a first for me. It was delicious. The sweetness of the apricots, the tender lamb and the aroma from the spices, it was lovely. Just writing about it is making my mouth water despite having feasted on it, just a short while back. To me this was the star of the evening.

Shrimp Curry - There is shrimp curry and then there is shrimp curry. It was lovely. The curry was very good and the spices just right. It was not overpowering as tends to happen in many Indian restuarants in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Chicken with Walnuts & Pomegranates - Another first for me. This was different to the normal chicken curry and the flavours were very subtle.

Chicken Dhansak - One of the traditional parsi dishes. It was delicious and I had more several helpings through the evening.

Lamb Pulav - I ended the dinner with this. It was wonderful. Being a pulav, it was lighter than a biryani and was spiced mildly.

Zoorat the chef, gets the blend of spices just right and most of the dishes left us wanting for more. Most of us had multiple servings.

We ended with a desert made of semolina - in India called "Sooji ka Halwa", cooked parsi style which has eggs in it.

All in all, a wonderful dinner. We pigged out but still felt very light at the end of the meal.
