Shubadeep's 4 course Metro Platter at Pronto

This is what Shubadeep, the ubiquitous gourmet wrote while he ate at Pronto Bistro, port Blair in the evening of 18 May, 2019.

soupe; Himalayan asparagus cream soup

It takes you on a journey and experience which remains with you even after it is over. You instantly do not fall in love with the soup, but eventually as you explore further along with the home baked bread, it provides a subtle balance and eventually you begin to like it and once it is over, you wish you had more of it.

The soup is like Chennai. You don not immediately fall in love with it, but as you stay longer, you begin to like its simplicity and yet the basic flavor of the place. Just like the city of Chennai.

seafood; Crayfish tail ceviche, kale & bok choy salad, anchovy mayo

It is an event you got to attend! You immediately fall in love with the looks, burst of flavours and overall aroma. Each and every bite punches amazing soul stirring flavours. It is just perfect!

It is like Mumbai. You just love the city. You love its life. Mumbai is for everyone, rich in flavor. The dish is exactly like the city of Mumbai.

poultry; Chicken has wings roasted, glass noodles, garlic, hot & sour jus

The dish builds an instant connection with you. A dish you would love on a chilly night. It packs a solid punch on your taste buds. The glass noodles amaze you with its complexity in the most subtle way. The Chicken Wings are just Wow! Loud and clear, it announces itself that it is the boss in bold and capital.

Talking of capital, the dish represents the capital Delhi. It is the boss! The city packs a punch in your memories and looks and feels better during winter, just like the Chicken Wings!

dessert; Fig + lime zest baked cheese cake, passion fruit cream

The dessert gives you joy at its first glance. It just makes you smile with every bite. It is the happiest plate, the smoothness, the flavours naturally appealing. Just gives you immense joy.

Speaking of joy, the cheese cake represents the City of Joy, Kolkata. So ethnic, so full of life, just a happy place, sweet just like the cheese cake.

This four course meal should be called Metro Platter.
