Harissa butter roast prawn has the strong scent of fresh shrimp chunks. The bistro’s in-house harissa butter is the queen of this dish that is responsible for accentuating the flavours of roasted, marinated prawns and lending a smoky, peppery feel to the same.
“It’s very instinctive for me to be into fashion. It’s all about art. For me, it’s art because all of the pieces are so personal to me. However, the idea of decorating, doing some sort of artwork and presenting food in a nicer way was simultaneously growing in me. I wanted to pursue both of them together, which is why, from this year onwards, I thought of shaping Bianco in the same way. I have been associated with Bianco since Day One because I was always fond of doing my creative bit there. Starting this Valentine’s season, we have tried to put together a palate of flavours that have not been explored at Bianco before. We made sure that you eat through your eyes first. I believe, Calcutta is just very open to trying any cuisine, which further provides us with the ground to nurture ideas and thoughts on similar line,s” said Rohan Pariyar, founder of Bianco.
