KYLIN EXPERIENCE IN CHANDIGARH

Although Chandigarh  has more than its fair share of eateries proffering Asian cuisine, the dishes at Kylin are more than good enough to warrant it sharing a piece of the pie (… or should that be star anise ice -cream?!). All the dishes we tried successfully managed to blend distinctively Oriental flavours with some just a bit Punjabish, resulting in not so authentic but delicious creations that weren’t just the same old standards found elsewhere. You can expect to find Thai, Japanese and Chinese influences on the Kylin menu; we skipped the Live Sushi bar section and instead kicked off proceedings with a deliciously addictive assorted Dimsum basket. Served with a spicy sauce, you’ll find that these gorgeous little morsels disappear from your table very quickly given the chance!

The wok tossed sole with bullet chillies was also impressive; the fish was cooked perfectly and had a beautiful clean taste that anchored the riot of Asian flavours on top. However, the standout dish was the sliced pork in angel pepper sauce; the meat was melt-in-mouth tender, the sauce gloriously rich, dark and sticky, and a final kick of pepper kept us coming back for more. And yes the Kung Pao chicken was spicy, savory and delicious with steamed rice.

Most dishes are priced very reasonably and given the generous serving sizes, are ideal for sharing – prices which seem neatly on par with the surrounding restaurants in the area. Combined with a quietly cool atmosphere and warm and inviting staff, Kylin is a member of the family we definitely want to see more of!

WEEKEND GETAWAY IN STYLE @ THE JW MARRIOTT, CHANDIGARH

It is not just another place to stay, it is a differentiate offering to weave long lasting memories ...

The closest and most easily accessible place for Dilliwaalas to unwind is the clean and green city of Chandigarh and what can be better than doing it in style at the JW Marriott. It is a harmonious blend of luxury, impeccable service, age old traditions and contemporary sophistication. This unique property deserves every accolade it has received from its regular customers for its luxurious accommodation, creative cuisine and unmatched recreational facilities.

LOCATION

Exuding elegance and craftsmanship, the hotel is centrally located within close proximity to the airport and the railway station, in addition to the Business District - Sector 17 and the Information Technology Park.

ACCOMODATION

The hotel offers 164 elegantly designed rooms & suites midst fabulous landscaping and sylvan surroundings. The Interiors of my room echoed my need to lay back, rest so that I could later resume my business of the day in style and comfort. Adorned in warm creamy tones with plush, comfortable interiors, my room featured top class amenities and what I really loved the most was the iron and the ironing board and the Alarm clock with the I-pod docking station. I was equally impressed with automated ‘Do Not Disturb’ and ‘Make My Room’ signage

FOOD AND BEVERAGE

‘Café@JW’ the all-day dining venue and was my favourite spot for breakfast. 

‘Saffron’ offers a gastronomic experience unlike any other and offers authentic flavours of the Northwest frontier cuisine where herbs and spices are blended together to give a rich culinary experience alongside distinguished flavours from the tandoor and the charcoal grill. 

The culinary essence of ‘Oregano’ is authentic Italian cuisine with a strong creative element. The chef sure does a smart job in sending out delicately wrought, full flavoured offerings.

It is obvious that nothing is compromised here, from carefully engineered dishes, to impeccable service, the ambience is extremely Italian, and it definitely is a cut above the rest.

And if you are in a ‘Deli’ mood, ‘Chandigarh Baking Company’ is a place to indulge into some sinful cakes and pastries, chocolates, cookies or made to order sandwiches and burgers along with your cuppa any time of the day or night.

REJUVENATE AT THE QUAN SPA

The Spa provides a unique haven of tranquillity where dedicated therapists combine timeless wellness concepts with modern therapeutic wisdom, to set a new benchmark in holistic wellness and therapy. From the moment the word Spa came to my mind, I could only think of bliss and rejuvenation…and the Quan Spa did exactly that! The spa offers a spectrum of authentic and traditional wellness treatments, from oriental and western body therapies to specialized facials.

SERVICE

Wonderfully warm and gracious staff adds an edge to the utterly delightful property.
