New Punjab Club. Michelin star Pakistani restaurant in Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New Punjab Club <\/em><\/strong>is part of the Hong Kong-based Black Sheep<\/em> restaurants. The restaurant is famous for its tender kebabs, lentil dumplings, and sticky toffee pudding.<\/p>\n

Pakistani restaurateur Syed Asim Hussain started the authentic Punjabi eatery just 18 months ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor New Punjab Club to be recognised after just 18 months and for a cuisine which is traditional Punjabi is an amazing achievement and honour for the team.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Personal Achievement<\/h3>\n
\"New
Syed Asim Hussain, owner of Black Sheep resturants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Being awarded for authentic Punjabi cuisine just added to the flavor for this 33-year-old Pakistani.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, to be acknowledged for something that is so personal to oneself, one that lifts just not the cuisine but also the community, could not make one more proud of this achievement.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the 33-year-old restaurateur started New Punjab Club,<\/em><\/strong> he brought in Palash Mitra, the chef from the one Michelin star eatery Gymkhana<\/em><\/strong> in London. Palash Mitra created the New Punjab Club<\/em><\/strong> menu, centered around two smoky tandoor ovens.<\/p>\n

The menu features Amritsari Machli, Masalewali Chanp, Lahori Seekh, Gudda Nihari, Murgh Pulao, and Gosht Salan.<\/p>\n

Even more exciting is that Asim Hussain retrieved and restored the restaurant’s two tandoor ovens himself. He actually started off working in a restaurant and now he owns the Hong Kong-based Black Sheep<\/em> chain of restaurants.<\/p>\n

New Punjab Club<\/em><\/strong> even houses the ‘biggest restaurant collection of conventional Pakistani art<\/em>‘. The artwork of the restaurant is also personal to Hussain and serves to tell the story of the restaurant to the guests every night.<\/p>\n

Michelin Stars<\/h3>\n

Michelin stars are a rating system devised by the red Michelin Guide. The rating system is used to rank restaurants based on their quality.<\/p>\n

Prior to New Punjab Club<\/em><\/strong> another one of Asim Hussain’s eateries had already been awarded a Michelin star.<\/p>\n
