Ironically, as the name suggests i was never fascinated to it..
Some places never excite you enough.. But, i got an opportunity to change my opinion last week.. Shimla runs out of options to dine out on The Mall.. Its like a loop which keeps playing itself again and again..
My husband is a big fan of the place so nudged me to give it another try. So as a rule i always try new things on the menu and strange names always attract me.
So we ordered Chicken Chow soup on a misty Friday evening, which the steward described as chicken clear soup with soft noodles. The soup was delicious, the broth was clear, comforting and very well seasoned. Chicken was plenty and the vegetable had been cut beautifully in juliennes, not diced..
Then the next dish we ordered was Chicken Fuyong, again mystery name, which the waiter simply described as a chicken omelette. It was a surprise, and combined very well with the soup. Crisp outside, with a soft filling of chicken and veggies.
We ended our meal, with my husbands favourite chicken chowmein, and yes i knew thats noodles.. It was nice, not very indianised and very well seasoned. the noodles seemd handmade, not out of a packet.
The service was very good, the steward was polite and prompt, clean table cloth and napkins. And food served on warm plates..
The mist, the company, good food, lucky me.. Enjoyed ...
