Ping's Cafe Orient was in my wishlist for the longest of time as I can remember and the place did not disappoint even a bit. The decor is amazing and so are the staffs. The food is heavenly to say the least. We ordered the following dishes and drinks and all of them were unique and tasted awesome.
1. Charcoal Roast Pork Skewers - The name pretty much explaoms the dish. The smoky flavour in the perfectly cooked pork was amazing. A must try!
2. Prawn Garlic Butter Dimsum - very smooth favour, the dimsum outer layer was also thin, did not taste very unique but it tasted pretty good.
3. Pork Char Siu Bao - The Char Siu Pork inside the Bao was great. The bao bun was also good but I am a bit biased towards the bao bun of Momo i am, so in comparison, MIA wins in my opinion. But this one is another must try from ping's!
4. Lamb Rendang Curry and Steam Rice - The Rendang currt comes with a paratha but we ordered steamed rice seperately. The curry was one of the best one I have had till date. It had a rich coconut and kaffir lime flavour and I cannot emphasise how much I loved it. 100% a must try dish!
5. Chocolate Marquise - We ended our meal with Chocolate Marquise. The dessert was very smooth and was a perfect end to a perfect meal.
For drinks we had ordered the cocktails Gin & Tea, Moscow Mule and Lemon Drop and both the drinks were very refreshing.
On a different day I had also had Tenderloin Laksa home delivered from Ping's and it was heavenly. Do give it a try atleast once to know how amazing it tastes!
I would definitely visit again to try out all the other great dishes that they offer. A highly recommended place!
The most amazing discovery of ours in Kolkata for pan-Asian. So much so we went twice within a weekend. The richest and yet most delicate of flavors, the dip and sauces out of the world, the soups and main courses never failing to deliver just that right punch. To top it all, the hospitality is warm and the environment comforting and soothing - laidback. The staff came across as knowledgeable as to the ingredients and preparations to our eager questions, and were helpful to cater to requests to customize per preferences. A big thanks to Animesh who made the experience worthwhile both days. The pricing, though on the higher side, seems reasonable given the quality of it all. Loyalists!
Excellent Asian food. Grilled charcoal roasted pork, pork belly dish, asian betki grill , lamb gravy (in some Thai style sauce with parota) all were excellent, Service was also good. They serve liquor but our group had taken beer only.
