New Delhi — Ever wondered where to savor the best Chinese street food fare in Delhi? Let one of the city’s most famous residents, Virat Kohli guide you!
“Taste of Victory Stirred in Woks”
Recently, our very own cricket superstar experimented off the field with his palate. He ventured into the lanes of Delhi in search of his favourite Chinese delights, revealing his secret food haven – a modest Chinese food van tucked away amidst the towering cityscape. Virat, with the help of chef Vikas Khanna, unravelled the symphony of flavors from his two favourite dishes that make him a loyal patron of this street-side gem. The duo, eager to share the unique taste of the city, intended to introduce the unparalleled pleasure of Delhi’s street food to a broader audience.
“Pitching a Wicket to Delhi’s Food Scene”
This revelation by Virat has made a notable impact on locals, particularly young cricket enthusiasts and food lovers alike. This van, previously a quiet spot by the roadside, has seen an upsurge in patrons. Students from nearby Delhi University are flocking here in droves, bringing with them a fresh wave of energy and excitement. Families, too, are catching on to this trend, making a pit-stop here after their customary Sunday visits to India Gate. Even shopkeepers around the area are witnessing a rise in footfall, riding on the coattails of this newfound fame.
A Glimpse into Delhi’s Chow Mein Love Affair
Delhi’s age-old affair with Chinese food was rekindled decades ago in the bustling markets of Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk. Traces of this love can be found woven into the fabric of every neighborhood, from the upscale Khan Market to the fast-paced lanes near Rajiv Chowk Metro Station. And now, add to that list Virat’s favourite food van, that with its finger-licking dishes, has become part of Delhi’s vibrant culinary legacy.
