Treat
yourself to international flavours and free flowing spirits in style and globe
trot across the cuisine map with Cantonese, Tuscan and North Indian kitchens to
relish the various specialties at K3 ‘s Winter Sunday Brunch
Those
of you who have seen ‘Sex and The City’ would remember the four iconic New
Yorker girls got together over brunch to talk about each other’s love lives and
whatnots! To me it feels as if the idea of a Sunday brunch has become the
metropolitan ritual to hang out over sumptuous food before heading back to work
on Monday !The Winter Brunch at JW
Marriott's K 3 is one of the most popular brunches in Delhi. And yes, it’s not
only for the metropolitan girls, but also for families to have a delightful
meal together.
I
have friends, who religiously book a brunch deal every Sunday, and I am talking
the free-flowing champagne variety, some have their favourites. Others pick a
different hotel or restaurant every week. …Last Sunday I visited K 3 and was
not let down!
MY BUFFET STRATEGY: I first tour around the space and make a mental note
of each station’s highlights so I don’t end up in an ordeal with no space to
enjoy the plethora of offerings that far too many never make it to.
THE K 3 BRUNCH EXPERIENCE: This period-perfect all day dining food theatre on
the lobby level of JW Marriott Aerocity looks like it could have been here
forever ( read because it is buzzing with people) , though it only opened last
spring. Executive chef Girish Krishnan’s locally sourced and seasonally
adjusted carte which explores a whole gamut of gastronomical delights from all
over the world is equally timeless. He’s even more creative at brunch, where the
sea food bar featuring Kerala Prawns, Pomfret and other sea food made to order
with an array of marinades, is a real treat for fresh catch from the backwaters.
His ‘Eat street’ is fashioned like a
bustling street serving authentic street food like Moong Dal Vada, Scrambled
Carrot Cakes, and Fritto Misto stays true to the spirit of Delhi.
Specials like
steamed Chinese Bao get amply stuffed with more of that gently pulled pork, an
over-easy egg and a splash of sweet hoisin. But Krishnan’s knockout punch comes
with the courtyard section featuring the back yard barbeque, adopting age-old
rustic cooking methods from the far west to conjure up delectable roasts with a
choice of meats and vegetables, traditional sauces and accompaniments. And be
sure to save room for the dessert station which takes centre stage with an decadent
variety of home-made ice creams (my favourite
...Masala Tea), warm Belgian waffles, brioche pudding, chocolate
delicacies and lip smacking freshly baked tarts, cupcakes and Chef Narendra’s (
bakery chef) signature creations……YOU will thank me!
DID YOU
KNOW?
The term brunch was first coined in Great Britain in
1895 by writer Guy Beringer who described it as, ‘Instead of England’s early
Sunday dinner, a post-church ordeal of heavy meats and savoury pies, why not a
new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and
other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By
eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter
for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as
well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts
you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow
beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.’
