Spicy duck restaurant inside the Taj Diplomatic enclave is worth the visit, try the finest wines and liquors first, then indulge into the menu of some of the best oriental food in Delhi. Wait staff is very friendly. But noodles, fish and the duck. It’s all good. They are better than Indian Accents as far as food is concerned. Drop me an email for any sort of help in choosing what to eat.

Tried this restaurant at the Taj whilst staying there. Great food, wide variety of choices. Fish dishes were exceptional and tasty. The young Western chef came over to the table and we chatted for a good 10 minutes about the food and what I particularly enjoyed, a good touch.

Confucianism in China instills the concept of male superiority and dominance over women. Though they believe in the unity of families, contrarily keep their most precious possession uneducated and subservient Like a product on display binded by the foot for centuries. Ironically the principals of their society were completely omitted when it came to food. For the longest time, a duck was used to signify freedom, happiness, wealth and fidelity . Chinese civilisation has established its own unique dining culture and etiquettes. Because of their extensive need for gastronomy based on traditional medical beliefs, they eat anything that flies, crawls and walks on fours. Modern "Eight Cuisines" of China are Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang cuisines.
Taj diplomatic Enclave, strives to retain the authenticity of this luxurious cuisine capturing contemporary vibrancy.
Nibbling on the warm, indefectible bite size succulent chicken pokchoi dumpling with superior sauce and chilli oil, i was eagerly anticipating for Chef Leong’s stir fried prawns with superior spicy sauce. Brittle exterior with soft meat accompanied along some fresh spring onions, garlic and chilli’s.
As ducks are considered a delicacy for auspicious occasions, its a must at any chinese fine diner. The thinly sliced pecking duck served with hoisen sauce and fresh cucumbers is a luxury enjoyed by the elites.
Washing down the flavours off my palate with some hot chamomile tea, we requested for our mains.
Rice being one of the staples, it made way to my table in the name of jasmine sticky fried rice. Wok tossed chicken in black bean sauce wasn’t significantly different from the usual but the clay plot fresh water prawns in chinese wine lined with egg was a blast of textures and mild flavours.
Going all the way in exquisiteness with some dessert helps ending an impeccable night on a high note, Sticky date cake with five spice caramel. Dense with loaded dates and sucre was cut through with the sourness of red currents.
Spicy duck reflects the tradition of Taishan and Chengdu sub-regions that has to be tried to experience the culture.

Just to let the viewers know that this restaurant is closed. They have opened a Chinese restaurant.
We went to the restaurant as we had read a number of reviews. But it was disappointing to note that the restaurant has been closed and The Taj have replaced it with a Chinese cuisine restaurant.
