Indo-Chinese Cuisine — Hakka, Manchurian, Chilli Chicken in Chantilly, VA

Indo-Chinese is its own cuisine — a hybrid born in Kolkata's Tangra district in the early 1900s when the Hakka Chinese community started cooking with Indian green chilies, ginger, garlic, and soy. A century later it's the comfort food the Indian diaspora orders on a Friday night: Hakka Noodles, Vegetable or Chicken Manchurian (gravy or dry), Chilli Chicken, Chilli Paneer, Gobi Manchurian, Schezwan Fried Rice, Hot-and-Sour Soup, Chicken 65. At Pastry Corner Cafe & Lounge in Chantilly we fire ours over a flame hot enough to get the smoky wok-hei edge, balance the trinity of soy-vinegar-green-chili so the heat builds without flattening, and keep the cornstarch glaze tight — never gummy. Halal-friendly chicken on request. Veg, egg, chicken, paneer, and shrimp protein options on most items. Pair Hakka Noodles with Chicken Manchurian for the classic combo, or order the whole party-pack spread for an event.
