This Durga Pujo, The Fatty Bao, Kolkata, (part of the Olive group of restaurants), at #801, Fort Knox, 6, Camac Street, Kolkata - 700017, takes you on a completely new gastronomic trip with ‘Pandals of Chinatown’. The Fatty Bao invites you to walk in through its celebratory gateway for a culinary tour of Chinatowns from around the world, for a truly globe-trotting Oriental experience. Make your table reservations at 033 46022744 for lunch, dinner or an any-time meal from 12 noon to 11:30 pm.

On top of the list is our very own Tangra in Kolkata, India’s oldest bonafide Chinese settlement and our favorite haunt for delicious Hakka Chinese food! We’re serving the hugely popular and ever favorite Tangra-style Crispy Chili Chicken with Chili and Garlic Crumble as well as a Crispy Chili Cottage Cheese version for vegetarians. We have your carb fix sorted with a hearty Fried Noodles - our version of Pan-fried noodles with Cantonese-style braised cottage cheese or chicken. Inspired by the Chinese Bar Houses in Tangra, which still serve large baskets of prawn crackers for bar snacks, our version Har Pang Pork features these cant-eat-just-one crackers with a spiced mince-meat filling for some extra punch.

Order a portion of Moo Shu Chicken-stir-fried vegetables and shredded chicken tossed with hoisin and oyster sauce, scallion, fried garlic, pickled cucumber and egg and served with Mandarin pancakes. Introduced in the United States as an ‘American Chinese’ dish in the Sixties, our version is influenced by New York City. If you’re a fan of seafood, try the Fish Puff made with Kaffir lime, chili, garlic and sesame-flavored minced fish, stuffed in flaky puff pastry and served with smoked garlic and chili sauce. The British rule in Hong Kong gave birth to culinary fusion and this flaky puff with spiced fish filling. We bring you our version of the famous dish – Chairman Mao’s Pork Belly made with rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon, soy, dried chili and bay leaf-braised pork belly and served with a side of seared pillowy, soft bao.

Motivated by the historic restaurants in Chinatown in goldmine towns in Victoria, Australia, we bring you the Whole Baby Pomfret − deep-fried pomfret with rice wine, sesame oil and oyster; tossed with assorted vegetables and mushroom. Yet another must try dish on this Pujo special menu is the Roasted Half Duck – a Beijing-style 24-hour marinated duck, roasted and served with chili five-spice hoisin, spicy pickled plum, cucumber, scallion, crispy chili, pineapple and pancakes. San Francisco houses one of America’s oldest and busiest Chinatowns and we took a leaf out of their culinary history to bring you our rendition of their world famous 24-hour marinated Peking Duck. And to end your festive meal on a sweet note – we have the Chinese Egg Custard Tarts, served warm with berry compote. Simple and traditional, the ‘daahntaat’became a hot-selling fast food in Mainland China. Our slightly westernized version is inspired by the Golden Gate Bakery in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

If you’re looking for an amazing, soul satisfying Asian meal in between all the last-minute shopping or amidst the dhaak, dhunuchi and pandal hopping, then head straight to The Fatty Bao.
