Crafted exclusively by Chef Prasenjit Majumder, each dish emanates the specialty of its region in the use of ingredients, style of cooking, and taste. "Spices play a very important role in Chinese cuisine and different regions experiment with different amount and kinds of spices. And by spices we don't mean how hot the dish is; it is the combination of various herbs and flavours that matters," explains Chef Prasenjit.(Pic: Arunima Mazumdar)
