Historically, Shandong, lying in the north-eastern part of China, was one of the most advanced regions in the country. But that is not its only claim to fame. It is also known for its cuisine, popularly known as Lu cuisine. According to food experts, it is one of the eight culinary traditions of China. Located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and with a long coastline, the region specialised in fish and seafood preparations. Now Kolkata, which is considered the birthplace of Indian Chinese food, is ready to sample Lu cuisine.
Nori, at The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat, is showcasing Lu cuisine, curated by Chef Ablu Bhowmick. Lu cuisine, often called the 바카라mother of northern Chinese cuisine바카라, is salty, crispy, locks in the flavour and not oily, explained Bhowmick. The 바카라bao바카라 style of stir fry cooking over high heat is popular in Lu cuisine. Another popular method is the 바카라pa바카라 style of cooking where a layer of flour is coated on the meat, which is then stir fried and cooked to crisp.Â
바카라Although we had to adapt by way of ingredients, partly due to availability issues,바카라 said chef. 바카라For example, a popular dish in Lu cuisine is braised sea cucumber. But getting sea cucumber in Kolkata is not easy. So we have decided to retain the style of cooking using locally available ingredients.바카라 Lu cooking is low on spices, which is used to highlight the flavour of the dish.
Some of the interesting dishes on the menu include 바카라Lu Pepper Chicken바카라 and 바카라Umami Roasted Potatoes바카라 in appetizers, assorted dimsums such as 바카라Jiaodong Seafood Dumpling바카라 and 바카라Corn Nut Dumplings바카라, 바카라Dezhou Braised Chicken바카라 and 바카라Exotic Taisan Vegetables바카라 in mains. You may round up your meal with desserts such as 바카라Candy Sweet Potatoes바카라 and 바카라Black Sesame Steamed Cake바카라..
