All About Plumazing Vibes...

Plum By Bent Chair is one of India's unique establishments in the F&B space if I were to say so. Retail Therapy and Comfort Food at one place would be a dream come true for many, and Plum has arrived to make that dream come true indeed.

First set in Mumbai, Plum arrived in Aerocity late last year and opened its doors for a second time to Delhiites last month, this time at Janpath, right opposite Le Meridien.

Plum by Bent Chair is a haven for Pan Asian lovers and Interior Décor enthusiasts alike, and it is no secret that everything at Plum outlets across the country is for sale - from the food to the plate the food is being served in, from the couch and table you are seated at to the quirky décor adorning the place.

Opt for Ginger and Rosemary or the classic Cappuccino Freddo to begin the meal by beating the heat.

Follow it up with an authentic and refreshing Raw Papaya Salad prepared Plum Style - with Asian herbs, crispy scallions, and cherry tomatoes.

The Tuna and Roast Quinoa Ceviche would be a tangy and crunchy serving to get the taste buds going  while keeping the nutritional values in check.

On one hand, while the Spicy Barbecued Chicken Bao adds the spice to the dining experience and the Three Mushroom Brioche Toast is a crunchy and filling handful of delight, on the other hand, the Mix Veg Tempura presented an assorted platter of veggies paired with mayo.

While the Salmon Truffle Cream Cheese Sushi was a vibrant orange hue and delightfully melt-in-mouth, the Prawn Tempura Uramaki is an in-house specialty with crispy prawn and condiment glaze.

Another couple of classics done to perfection are the nicely glazed Pan Fried Gyoza and the silken and oozing Cream Cheese and Truffle Dumplings.

To wrap up the meal, go with Emmet Chair that has vibrant and soft marshmallows sprinkled with cinnamon dust and paired with a brownie chunk and some hot chocolate on the side.

Overall, the dining experience at Plum has been a great one. :)

Don't Be Glum, Sugar Plum!

Plum By Bent Chair is one of the stellar properties encompassing the F&B scene in Aerocity that has been the talk of the town ever since its launch on Christmas last year. I recently got to explore the buzz that has been surrounding Plum when I visited the outlet for lunch this week.

First things first, Plum is not your regular Delhi restaurant - Nope.

It is an ingenious concept that marries Retail with Gourmet - the brainchild of restaurateur Priyank Sukhija and entrepreneur Natasha Jain, Plum is where everything you see can be bought, and everything that can be bought is showcased.

Plum as a concept is India's first retail restaurant, that after wowing the folks of Mumbai, has set a firm foot to amaze Delhi. Bent Chair is a furniture and home decor brand that has showcased its products at Plum, and essentially anything and everything from couches, coffee tables, whimsical artwork, and pop-art collector's items can be taken home.

The menu at Plum lays its heart out to Pan Asian cuisine with the subtleties of both Chinese and Japanese cuisines being reflected on the plate and it is a variety haven for folks who love both these cultures that are culinary treasures in themselves.

To begin the meal, opt for the Quinoa Chicken Poached Dumplings that come in mini steamer baskets with the outer skin being coated with super grain Quinoa imparting the preparation a touch of health. The subtlety of a chili mayo and scallion as a garnish adds to the flavorful bite.

Visiting Plum and not relishing the Sushi would be a crime, and the in-house specialty is a testament to that. I am talking about the Prawn Tempura Uramaki that essentially has crispy prawns layered with condiments and folded delicately with rice.

Orange & Peach is one of the best-selling mocktails at Plum with the refreshing pairing of mandarin and kaffir lime, while the classic Iced Cappuccino Freddo is also well-prepared.

Among the Large Plates, Olive Leisure Chair is truly like sending the tastebuds on a vacation with grilled sea bass resting on a bed of edamame rice that is best relished with a glazing of the soy garlic sauce that accompanies the preparation.

For the sweet conclusion to a stellar meal, I would undoubtedly recommend the Plum Tropical Fruit Citrus Cheesecake that has the unique lime cheesecake dome, sunkissed with fruits on the side.

All in all, Plum By Bent Chair is a fresh concept executed with finesse as it presents novelty in the F&B space. :)
