Indo-Chinese food has a long and storied history, dating as far back as the 1700s, when Chinese immigrants arrived in Kolkata, fleeing civil war in China and bringing with them a host of new spices and ingredients from home.
And so, a whole fusion cuisine was born, as well as India’s first Chinatown, with noodles meeting curry and five spice mashed up with garam masala. To celebrate this meeting of minds, Bundobust has prepped some new menu items which will be available all summer.
So as a failsafe favourite in the city, the MEN has little choice but to head down to check them out. First for the familiar - Bundo’s now iconic okra fries, the dish that has single-handedly changed views on the divisive vegetable since the restaurant opened its doors in Leeds in 2014.
