Michelin Plated Adda restaurant in partnership with Chef Manjunath Mural, are all set for the upcoming Diwali Season. With specially curated artisanal mithai packed in a stunning 4-level tiffin, this not only meets corporate gifts criteria but is a must-have at home.
As I placed the Tingkat tiffin on my dining table, I couldn’t help but be impressed with the stylish colours and design. My creative mind could already imagine the number of things I could use this tiffin for! Very eco-friendly and a conversation piece I would think.
Opening each level of the tiffin I felt like a kid, wondering what each one of this colourful smorgasbord of delights contained. “Mithai” a Hindi word referring to Indian sweets was not traditional in any way.
With a Singapore touch, flavours included local ingredients like Gula Melaka Coconut Roll. ADDA’s take on a local classic, a nutty roll topped with coconut and flavoured with the ever-so-popular Gula Melaka.
Another classic that caught my attention, Lychee & Gulukand. Made from fresh lychee combined with aromas of home-made rose compote. Wow so light and refreshing to the palette. A totally fine dining experience transported to my home. Lovely!
I could see how ADDA has been voted amongst the best for the past couple of years. Departing from the usually sickeningly sweet mithai, these light but deeply textured flavours certainly gave me the green light to try more than one.
Matcha & pistachio also a wonderful combo for me. Bitter Green Tea and Nutty Pistachio both tastes that appeal greatly were a favourite for me. For those who love berries after a meal (or before - many Indian traditions begin with a mithai in hand) the Berry & Macadamia might hit the spot.
Chocolate lovers have the Oreo & Cashew to head for as flavours from childhood flood back while devouring this cashew nut roll coated with white sesame.
Last but not least the Figs, Dates, Mulberry & Nuts mithai which was heavenly. A crowd favourite, as it dissipated spices from my main meal. I ran for cover with this one. It made for a perfect dessert.
Available in 3 different packaging, these mithai come in a Delight box of 4 varieties containing 20 pieces wrapped in a Tingkat tiffin for $68+. A Premium box of 5 varieties has 15 pieces plus cashews and a candle for $98+. An Executive box with 6 varieties contain 30 pieces, wrapped in a collector’s edition jewellery box $128+.
A gift that would melt the heart of anyone on the receiving end especially so as they are hand-crafted and do not contain preservatives. I know they would be in awe of this tasteful choice. A great start to kick off the Festival of Lights!
