Burma Burma is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a spectacular new menu titled 'The 10-Year Trail.' We had the chance to preview it at one of the restaurant's Mumbai outlets and spent an afternoon of delicious discovery there. The menu pays homage to the ingredients and culinary traditions of different regions of Burma, spotlighting the diversity of the flavours of Burmese cuisine. We began our meal with a soul-soothing corn and mushroom soup called Sarbuthi, followed by vibrant salads. The tangy and spicy Siman Thoke featured chickpea tofu and raw papaya, while the Steamed Rice Tofu Salad was enhanced with coriander, shallot oil, crispy garlic and more. Among the mains, opt for the Monk's Meal or Kho Poong with Pebok Chet. It has been inspired by the sustainable practices of the monasteries of Bago.
Burma Burma is known for its extensive selection of teas and non-alcoholic drinks, including several speciality beverages. From the anniversary menu, we highly recommend the Kan Lan Yay (sugarcane juice, raspberry puree, lime, nori salt) and the Durian Float (durian fruit with a blend of durian banana milk, black grass jelly, and nata de coco). We were left impressed with all the exquisite delights we tasted during our meal. Check out this special menu while you still can.

Slink & Bardot has unveiled a delectable new menu called "Peaks To Palms: A Journey Across India." The second edition of 'Taste of Slink', this six-course experience promises to whisk you away to different corners of their country for a taste of their regional flavours with a signature twist. Chef Ali Akbar Baldiwala's creations root you in vibrant locales while highlighting their possibilities in deliciously innovative ways. We had the chance to indulge in the non-vegetarian tasting menu, where each course was also paired with cocktails that were inspired by the same regional cuisines. Expect delights like Morel Tart with buckwheat, smoked almond cream and hemp seed dukkah - that transport you to the "peaks". On the way, we made stops at Banaras with a refreshingly playful Machli ki Chaat and at Rajasthan with a Dal Bati. The latter had a duck stuffing - a reinvention that took us by surprise in the yummiest way. This was followed by the Lamb Chop Kolhapuri, derived from Maharashtra, and the Mangalore-inspired Buff Nasi Goreng. We ended our journey at the "palms" with the heavenly Idukki Gold - banana cake with coconut ice cream and fermented banana honey. You can also choose to pair the food with only two drinks, instead of five. Our top picks were the Pahadi Firadus, Bengaluru 77 and the Coastal Creme.
