What: Taste of Yauatcha (ToY) menu
Where: Yauatcha, fifth floor, Quest mall
When: Monday to Friday, noon to 7pm
Pocket pinch: Rs 888-plus for vegetarian and Rs 988-plus for non-vegetarian per person
Want just dim sum? Go for fried or steamed, available in veg and non-veg options. We loved the colourful non-veg steamed dim sum basket consisting of Chicken and Prawn Shui Mai, Har Gau, Chicken and Coriander Dumpling, and Prawn and Chive Dumpling. Available all day, the veg basket is priced at Rs 888-plus and the non-veg at Rs 988-plus.
A five-course meal at Yauatcha consisting of a soup, salad, dim sums, stir-fry with rice or noodle and desserts won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Why? Because the Taste of Yauatcha (ToY) menu is really a steal.
“The main reason for this set menu is to offer our guests more variety. We’ve had set menus like this in the past but now there’s a lot more variety, especially for the price,” said Sanjay Banerjee, assistant general manager, Yauatcha Calcutta.
