HOPPERS IN BANGKOK
ARE spoilt for choice, in
between their shopping
spree, they can ill their stomachs
by shopping for some delicious,
inexpensive, street food. This is
the experience that restaurateurs
Siladitya and Debaditya Chaudhuri
of Oudh 1590 and Chowman
wanted to replicate in Kolkata.
The quick service restaurant is

the only one serving a variety of

dimsums that are generally not

found outside ine dining Chinese

restaurants. Chef Peter Chin

traces its origins to Kolkata’s old

Chinatown in Tiretti Bazaar before

he moved out and spent his pro-

fessional years in the Middle East.

The menu thus pays homage to all

those dumplings, including meat-

ball soup, wontons and soft luy

baos that were once found there.

Gyozas, sui mai, Thai dumplings

and of course the now ubiquitous

momo are to be found on the

menu as well. Fillings are available

in vegetarian, chicken, ish and

pork though pork is not available in

all their outlets. Come here to grab

a bite between pandal hopping.
