A confluence of Bengal and China, Bongnese is a new food paradise in the city of Joy. Hailing from the house of The Aananda Imperial at Bilaspur, the restaurant has a seating capacity for eighty, which also includes a private dining room named as ‘Anup’s Cabin’, in memoir of the actor from Bengal, Late Anup Kumar ji.
The restaurant aims in serving some long-lost recipes, dishes and delicacies from undivided Bengal, the erstwhile Colonian era, as well as some Anglo-Indianized Chinese food. Celebrated artists and distinguished guests came along for a friendly conversation over food, discussing the importance of Hilsha and other long-lost food of the previous generations.
Embracing the monsoons, which is probably regarded as one of the favourites of Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore, a special food festival called as ‘Ilish, Smriti’r Pat-e’ from the 9th of August, 2019 on ala-carte basis. The conversation was accompanied with music and dance and complemented with mouthwatering food, mostly featuring the hidden treasures of undivided Bengal.
We started with steamed rice, Luchi, ghee e Bhaja Muger Dal, Ilish Chapor Ghonto, Ilish Macher Bhaja, Begun Bhaja, Potol Bhaja, Rangamati Kasundi Ilish, Patrik Saheber Mangsher Jhol and desserts like Mohon Bhog, Roshobhora, Aamshotto Khejurer Chutney and Papad Bhaja.
