Chao : Pan Asian fine Dining in Chennai

I had been to Chao, the pan asian restaurant in T nagar on a few occasions earlier and have been very impressed with the ambiance and their food.  The first time I walked into the restaurant I thought to myself " With So many Serene Buddha portraits and paintings around a place cannot go wrong" and I wasn't wrong. Chao serves food from Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. Over my visits I had compiled my 'Must have' list at Chao, which I feel is their specialty.
1. Tom yum Soup
2. Raw mango salad
3. Their Flat noodles (Kwey Mao I think)
4. Thai Grilled fish
5. Wasabi prawns
6. Dimsums
7. Jasmine Rice
8. Pumpkin Custard.

When a group of bloggers from the CFG were invited to Chao, I was looking forward to having a couple of the dishes that I had listed above. But I was pleasantly surprised when we were served a meal that was not on the menu in the Private Dining Area in the basement and it did not have a single item that i had listed above. 

Each dish out did the previous one and it was one of those rare occasions when one could not find a single thing wrong with either the food or the presentation. 

There could not have been a better demonstration of the culinary skills of the Chef and the fact that the establishment could dish up a " made to order" menu for a private dinner or lunch. The dinner menu we had was priced at about 1500 per person, and menus's apparently can be tailor made to one's budget.

A must Visit !!!
