Sababa BKK

Lunar New Year takes a detour through Kolkata, honouring the city’s Chinese community where soy sauce meets mustard oil without apology. The menu, curated by Sayantani ‘Zeena’ Roy, leans nostalgic and generous, built for passing plates across a crowded table. Chilli Chicken arrives glossy and unapologetic, Manchow Soup carries heat that lingers, Hakka Noodles tangle comfort with bite and Gobi Manchurian delivers that familiar sweet-spicy hit. Around the food, abstract canvases line the walls and vintage portraits nod to family histories that stretch across borders. DJ sets go in the background, keeping the room lively but never overwhelming conversation. It is communal, a celebration shaped by migration, memory and the pleasure of eating with your hands slightly stained in sauce.   February 22. Up to B500. Sababa BKK, midday onwards
