What do you do when you receive a creative and well thought out invitation such as this? Naturally, you appreciate the effort put into it, block it off on your calendar right away (schedule permitting, of course) and come in with a hungry tummy on the actual date — that’s what I did!
That being said, I attended the launch of the Road to Gurgaon India at The Cafe at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila last Sunday. Hyatt flew in guest chef Ajith Kumar of Hyatt Regency Gurgaon, New Delhi to take over the kitchen of The Cafe at Hyatt City of Dreams to whip up amazing dishes with flavors that seemingly transport you to Gurgaon, India.
Road to Gurgaon is a spectacular showcase of Indian flavors at The Cafe, Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

Dal Vadai
These bite sized appetizers made of lentils are perfect to munch on before hitting the mains. Fried to a beautiful golden brown with a nice texture.

Chicken Biryani with Dal Makhani
I doused my Chicken Biryani with Dal Makhani and it was just superb! Think of it as our Monggo Guisado but with lentils, creamy tomato sauce and seasoned with light Indian spices. Simple yet comforting.

This prawn dish will make you want to go for seconds! The curry, mango, spices and herbs are mixed perfectly together.

No Indian cuisine is complete without dessert – Gulab Jamun, Barfi and Carrot Halwa are just some of it.

An classic Indian dessert that is often served during festivities. Sweet and milky grated carrots.

Small milk dough balls that have been deep fried and soaked in sugar syrup. A delectably warm treat.
