Chicken state of mind: Sous Vide Chicken at The Nook, Aloft Aerocity
The Sous Vide Chicken at The Nook, Aloft Aerocity in New Delhi, with a fondant potato filled with Chicken Kar Pao, King and Shemji mushrooms, pea shoot and chicken jus.
A plate of food with single colour tone but variety of flavours is what makes you eat up the food easily enough. We sat for one such dish and could not have asked for more.
Do not get us wrong if we say we have never loved chicken leg even when it is served right. Even if you mention it’s simmered in butter and fresh herbs, it fails to arouse our interest.
However, a dish at Aloft, Aerocity was so delightful that we came back for more. Subtle details of the restaurant like the soothing interiors and the calming vibe were not lost on us. As we made ourselves comfortable, they made sure to pamper us with their homemade breads which made our instincts even stronger to try that one dish.
After glancing at the variety of delectable options on their menu, we decided to go with their much loved Sous Vide Chicken on the recommendation of their executive chef.
The dish includes a fondant potato filled with Chicken Kar Pao with hints of thyme, black pepper, vegetable oil and stock to it. Mouth watering much? We have more to say while they had more to offer.
As we contained our excitement, their Sous Vide Chicken was served with King and Shemji mushroom, pea shoot and chicken jus. The dish was a pleasant mix of sour, sweet, and spicy(with inclusion of Thai chillies) and left our taste buds tingling.
Towards the end, you could finish off with a Tiramisu or a Panna Cotta. Just a little secret – we loved them both.
