Sunday brunch at VongWong

The week before last, we had a wonderful Sunday brunch at VongWong’s. It was a clean stretch of a drive on Sunday, straight up to Nariman point located next to the Oberoi Hotel.
I was quite hungry as we had arrived late for lunch. We decided to go with their Sunday brunch menu. I ordered for the Strawberry cooler drink, while my husband went for a Pinacolada.

I tried portions of most of their Salad options from the spread, and they were good. I quite liked the Seafood salad, and the Prawn cocktail. There was also a Crispy Duck in spring rolls option, which we tried. The duck was cooked in Hoisin sauce, I believe and was a little too sweet for my palate.

Next we ordered from the Dumplings and Starter options. Among the dumplings , we had a portion each of : prawn and garlic chive dumpling, wasabi prawn dumpling, chicken sui mai in chilly oil, pork and ginger dumpling. While I liked most of them, but the mild flavor of the prawn and garlic chive dumpling was lovely, and so was the wasabi prawn.

From the Starters, we ordered 1 portion of Gar Hoey Bai Toey, which is a Thai dish where the Chicken is cooked wrapped in pandan leaves. Next we ordered for Honey glazed spare ribs, Satay Gai, and Goong Phla. Satay Gai is Chicken Satay, while Goong Phla is seafood dish. It tasted as fresh as it looked!

I not only loved the food, but also the ambiance, and the mood in the place. There was live country music while people were lunching. Food was fresh and flavorful, our favorite dishes were the Wasabi prawns and the Wasabi prawn dumplings. There was live country music while people were lunching. The service was top notch, on a busy Sunday lunch, the Manager was seen personally greeting and serving the people. In short, it was an afternoon well spent.
Ambiance- 4/5
Tariff- 3.5/5

Overall- 4/5

The bad ass buffet at Global Fusion!

I have been to Global Fusion over eight times and I confess that till date I have never been able to taste all the dish on their menu. Such is the 'vastness' of their buffet! The very first time that we had been to this place, we were in for a surprise with this vast spread, but we learnt this soon enough and for our forthcoming trips we have been relatively prepared, because one cannot be fully prepared for this vast array of Asian food choices. Everything on their menu card happens to be on display, and one can order this together or in portions, for a fixed per head cost. Most of everything that they have on display are interesting options and good and the place is good value for money!  View from our Table 29 at Global Fusion Their display includes a Sushi counter. But my favorite is the Baked Prawn with Cheese and the Prawn Tempura. My husband is very fond of their Prawn Tempura and the Iceberg chicken. Their Tempura’s are perfectly crispy on the outside and m...

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack.                                           Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
