Thai Pineapple Rice at San:Qi

There is a lot happening in Mumbai right now especially with new restaurants and cafes opening every other week in Bandra and its surrounding areas.

However, there are some that are celebrating their food for more than one reason. While we have been hopping around the city trying out different kinds of cuisines that are popular as well as unique, here is a guide to get you started:

Best of 16 years
San:Qi, the much-loved fine-dining restaurant at The Four Seasons Mumbai is shutting down after 16 years but only for renovation. However, before they do, the restaurant wants you to indulge in some of their crowd-favourites that have become popular over the years from their Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indian menus. From a simple yet perfectly delicious and light Raw Mango Salad to a Chicken Satay with Peanut sauce, start with the goodness of Thai food.

If you like Japanese food, then the best of the San:Qi Sushi platter gives you the opportunity to relish the non-vegetarian specials that include the Spider Roll, Spicy Salmon Mali and a Tuna Uramaki, which are heavenly with the first bite. The Burrah Kebab, on other hand from the Indian menu, is one that is turning out to be a hot favourite for its familiar yet unique flavours from the char-grilled lamb chops with pepper and other spices. On the other hand, the Thai Pineapple Rice is a complete treat as the traditional dish has wok-fried pineapple rice served with cashew nuts that give it a nutty flavour. It comes together with the fruitiness of the pineapple to make it an indulgent meal that is definitely a must-try.

We ended the meal with a helping of three different desserts that cater to every kind of palate. While the green and familiar Paan Ice Cream is for the adventurous looking to try India's flavours, there is more. The Honey Crispy Noodles and Black Sesame Ice Cream was a unique experience in itself as the smokiness from the black sesame paired perfectly well with the ice cream, and the noodles provided a crunch that ensured every bite was worth it. Last but not the least is the Mango Sticky Rice, which reminds you why you need to celebrate mangoes this season yet again.
