A crustacean haven is just about to make a short appearance in Mumbai and here is all you need to know about it. For the first time in Mumbai, you now have a chance to experience the tastes of Colombo’s hugely successful restaurants - Ministry of Crab and Nihonbashi; the brainchild of Sri Lankan-Japanese chef Dharshan Munidasa. This one of a kind pop-up restaurant event- ‘A Taste of Heaven’ brings to you the finest seafood, with the star ingredients; tuna and crab specifically picked out by the chef from the markets of Tokyo and Colombo. The event’s culinary creations will include authentic dishes like Blue Fin Tuna Belly, Sumibi-Yaki, Foie Gras Teriyaki, Black Pepper Crab and a special vegetarian menu, topped with a flute of complimentary Louis Roederer champagne and a Grey Goose cocktail.
Both Ministry of Crab and Nihonbashi consistently rank in Asia’s top 50 Best Restaurants with the chef infusing his dishes with a Japanese identity. Munidasa has spent almost two decades creating original dishes using only the finest ingredients. This unanimously hailed father of Sri lankan fine designing acquires his star status by a simple scientific formulae-breaking down ingredients to basics by understanding what each piece [in the dish] tastes like.
Munidasa has also recently opened The Tuna And The Crab, a hybrid Japanese and seafood restaurant, and Kaema Sutra, focusing on contemporary Sri Lankan cuisine; in Galle and Colombo respectively.
