Yazu Pan Asian Supper Club is located in Marks Square, the mall on St Mark’s Road. The mall has a few other restaurants but is not fully operational yet. I take a seat overlooking the busy street. The food menu is 17 pages with options ranging from tiradito, Peruvian sashimi, to Asian pizzas. All dishes that you can club under the umbrella of Asian cuisine are available here. They also have a special kitty set menu, designed for kitty parties, priced at ₹1,145 per person.

The cocktail menu is creative. I try the Tomm Yummm cocktail, made with a clarified tom yum broth, gin, lime leaf, lemongrass and galangal. It took me straight to Thailand with the fresh flavours. Another fun drink is the Umami Cloud, made with shiitake coffee fat-washed whisky.

Chef Tenzin Khetsok introduces me to the dishes, and we start the meal with a cheung fun, a Cantonese dish made of rice noodle rolls. You can pick your fillings of mushrooms, chicken or prawns. I try the crispy version that is stuffed with mushroom and water chestnuts. The dish is delicate yet crunchy.
