Since it wasn’t safe to step out and mingle around Holi, ordering in some Chinjabi from Noodle Bowl seemed the only option I was a wee lad when I had my first Chinese meal in Delhi. It was at Ginza in Connaught Place. Your childhood food memories mould your tastes, no matter how many cuisines and flavours you try out as you grow older. That explains why Chinjabi a mix of Chinese and Punjabi continues to enthral me.
I was in a nostalgic mood last week, as it was Holi and we were cooped up inside. I thought back to the old Chinese restaurants we used to frequent on festive occasions. The yearning for some old-fashioned Delhi-style Chinese food doused with a generous dollop of soya sauce grew. I went looking for a suitable Chinese eatery that I had not tried out before.
