All-day dim sum tea house, Yauatcha, brought alive the magic of Cantonese cuisine with ‘Four Hands Chef’s Table’, a dining experience that blended traditional cooking techniques and modern influence at its Quest Mall address on November 1. The menu was curated by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Yeo, corporate executive chef, Cantonese brands, Tao Group Hospitality, along with in-house chef Tenzing Khestun. “This is my first visit to Kolkata, and the city inspires me to create more interesting dishes,” chef Yeo said. A few of the dishes will be retained as a part of Yauatcha’s permanent menu
