Chef Katherine Chung is exploring her Hakka identity with this pop-up in Delhi!

‘I Am Not a Noodle’ will light up Perbacco at The Lodhi with a host of lesser known dishes enjoyed at Hakka homes

Attention Delhi folks! Perbacco at The Lodhi is preparing a unique Progressive Chinese pop-up called, I Am Not a Noodle, helmed by the accomplished Chef Katherine Chung, who previously brought the magic of Hakka cuisine to Kolkata. Presented by Gormei, the pop up, which will be operational on October 28 and 29 from 7pm, documents her personal journey, and explores the juxtaposition of her identity with food. The menu will have dishes rarely seen outside Hakka homes including Yam Abacus Beads, Roast Crackling Pork Belly, and Stuffed Pumpkin Flowers with Miso Mash and Hot Mustard. The meal will begin with some wine tasting, and each dish will carry a personal narrative. To top it off are two decadent desserts, Sesame Balls with Ice Cream and Osmanthus Honey, and Fried Milk Custard with Soy Caramel Drizzle. 

The five course meal is priced at Rs 4,500-plus per person.
