The Chef Tasting Menu is making a triumphant return, and the restaurant embraces the philosophy of remaining true to genuine food. The chefs weaved a narrative of flavor and finesse into every plate prepared with an imaginative edge – and beyond the overused ‘fusion’ label.

Our recent four-course meal offerings started off with a couple of amuse-bouche, from the lighter taste of the Cured Salmon prepared with in-house cured salmon along with crunch of seaweed cracker. This was followed by Pani Puri, a popular Indian street food. Hygge’s variation had the deep-fried hollow puri served with lightly spiced creamy filling of sweet corn.

For starters, there was also a good variety. First served was the familiar Glazed Nasu with cabbage and mushroom xo, followed by Cauliflower and lastly Stuffed Chicken Wing which got the most favorable comments on the table. Cooked over charcoal fire, the Chicken Wing paired well with the accompanied chicken mousse and tamarind mole. The addition of lime juice gave it a good burst of flavors.
