Hot garlic noodles is a popular Indo-Chinese dish which originated in Kolkata. It is a very simple recipe and can be prepared in minutes using the basic ingredients in your pantry.

Thai Munchy Rolls at The Art House Cafe

Thai Munchy Rolls and Iced Cappuccino
for 950 rs. (approx)

The Art House Cafe is situated in the heart of Delhi , that is Cannaught Place. It is an art gallery themed cafe located in N block of CP where you can easily visit by metro or your personal vehicle.

This Art gallery cum casual dining restaurant in a perfect place to visit with friends if you are an art lover. Paintings by young and creative artists are displayed on cafe’s wall for sale.

I visited there with my friends and we ordered a number of delicious items but what I loved the most was their Thai Munchy Rolls which I paired with Iced Cappuccino, so I decided to write a blog post on this fabulous dish.

These were the gourmet version of your regular street side spring rolls. Flavours were same but textures were totally different.

Roll’s wrapper was super thin and crispy! You can hear the loud crunch as soon as you bite into that spring roll. Vegetables filled in the rolls were very juicy and fresh. Filling was mildly seasoned with garlic and chillies. Thai munchy rolls were served with sweet honey and chilli sauce which is the soul of this dish. It adds the perfect amount of spice and sweetness required to balance the flavours and textures of crispy rolls.

A good drink is a must when having deep fried rolls and I love my coffee so I decided to order Iced Cappuccino from their drinks menu. Iced Cappuccino was thick, creamy and smooth. Generous amount of ice cubes were added to it to make it super chilled.

Another good feature which deserves appreciation at this place was the buzzer at their tables. We can easily press the buzzer if we want to place an order or any other support from the staff.

My experience at this place was great and I would definitely recommend you to visit there.

Momos are steamed dumplings made by wrapping combinations of minced meat or vegetables in thin wrapper made out of flour dough.

A perfect momo is juicy from inside and super soft from outside. You can feel the burst of juices from filling as soon as you bite into a good momo. Momos have become quite a rage in recent times specially in Delhi , although this dish belongs to North Eastern parts of India and the neighbouring country nepal. You can find a momo stall at every nook and corner of delhi.
