  Tiretti comes to Salt Lake, with Pou Chong Ming DimsumWhen we think of Kolkata, the common things that come to our mind is Roshogolla, Mishti Doi, Durga Pujo, Howrah Bridge, Chinese food. Not many of us know about a small China town that breathes in the womb of this massive Kolkata. The history of this unique cuisine goes back to the late 18th century when people came from China and settled in parts of Kolkata. Eventually, they started making Chinese food with whatever was available in the local markets of Calcutta.Tangra- the China Town of Kolkata has long been significant in the Bengali palates. However, what people are unaware of is yet the best place to witness the pure Chinese flavors you have to come down to Senyet Sen street commonly known as Territy Bazar near the Poddar Court, Central Metro station. The area is filled mostly with local Chinese households selling authentic breakfast dishes in small makeshift shops on the road early for breakfast.One of the significant leading brand which serves this arena is Kolkata’s legendary Chinese food products brand Pou Chong. But woah, not just Chinese products, they are recreating the magic of Tiretti yet again. With the success of their first store at Kaaba, they have launched their second store under the brand of Ming Dimsum by Pou Chong.Where? The new store is at BA-38(next to PNB bank more) Sector 1, Salt Lake. The shop is open from 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM.What’s available?The new outlet offers authentic Chinese grub such as dim sums, bao, sui mai, soups and more. They have more than a dozen kinds of bao — not just the regular chicken and pork but also chicken honey sesame bao, barbecue bao and hot garlic bao. Name any pork part, they have it ready for you, especially pork lard. The new kiosk sells their signature sauces, condiments and some readymade Chinese snacks like momos, baos, dim sums and sui mais. The new outlet sells all their bottled products so you don’t have to make your way all the way to Territi Bazaar to get your hands on them.Wallet factor? The menu is priced from just INR 40 so two can feed here for under INR 300!What did we try?Fish ball soup – This aromatic soup with fish balls and pan sheared bokchoy with a hearty broth is enough to satisfy as a main meal.Pork bao – Cha siu bao is a Cantonese barbecue-pork-filled bun. The buns are filled with barbecue-flavored cha siu pork and it’s outstanding.Sweet and sour Pork open bao (Gua bao) – These fluffy Bao buns stuffed with tender sticky pork belly is outstanding!Steamed wonton with garlic – The Chinese version of Ravioli, these steamed dumplings perfectly made in a bamboo steamer in chilli broth ready wrapped with perfect pleats. The perfection comes with the sprinkled fried garlic and bok Choy which delivers it’s traditional taste.So hurry and head here to stock up your pantry with Chinese condiments and for quick service affordable Chinese snacks that you won’t regret as an Oriental fan.Cheers! konizfoodwheels.wordpress.com

  Dropped in for some dimsums. Ordered barbeque pork bao (57 rupees), and pork & fish suimai (153 rupees). One of the best baos I have had till date. The Suimai was great for it’s price, however I have had better suimai for sure. They also sell varieties of sauces, noodles, frozen dimsums, and other products. This place is primarily for delivery and take away, however they have a few stools outside where you can sit and eat; the negative being there was no drinking water available.
