"no matter what you like about travelling, darjeeling always has something to offer!!!"
due to the varied mix of cultures in darjeeling, the local and ethnic food of darjeeling is quite famous.. and the chowk bazaar is a busy place for both locals and tourists with the presence of a number of restaurants serving delicious food.. one such favourite restaurant with the foodies is the "park" serving delicious thai, tibetian, indian and chinese dishes.
the restaurant is span over 2 floors and the interior is beautifully decorated. the staffs are well behaved and have a good knowledge of the cuisines. if you are confused what to order, they will guide you well with the dishes as per your choice of buds.
since we came for a tour here, we decided to ditch the common indian cuisines and go for the new tibetian or thai cuisines as per their suggestions.
we had ordered the following dishes:
* chicken coconut soup - it is a thai style coconut soup with chicken and it tasted quite unique and good.
* chicken taipei - on a bit spicy side, this dish is a must try. it contained crispy taiwanese styled chicken prepared in dry chilli paste. tasted awesome indeed.
* prawn thai rice noodles - this is actually served with flat rice noodles with prawn in thain sauce alongwith an egg poach kept on top and bits of spring onion spread over the serving dish. it was well prepared and tasted really good.
i must say that the quantiy of the items was good too and specially i loved the presentation of the food being served to us.
overall it is an excellent restaurant here and a must try for the foodies visiting darjeeling :-)
