Chennai, 10 August (H.S.) : Chennai's culinary scene just got a whole lot more exciting with the launch of 'Fifth', a beachside diner that promises to take taste buds on a wild ride. Located on the shores of Palavakkam, Fifth offers a unique dining experience that combines global flavours with an Indian twist. The brainchild of Chef Shriram Rajendran and Dr Aishwarya Selvaraj, Fifth is a haven for foodies looking for something new and exciting.
The name 'Fifth' is inspired by the fifth basic sense of taste, umami, which is characterized by a savoury, brothy, or meaty sensation. And that's exactly what you can expect from this diner - a fusion of flavours from around the world with a distinctly Indian flavour profile. From avocado thokku and gunpowder calamari to Tangra chilli chicken and hoisin paneer, Fifth's menu is a masterclass in creative cuisine.
Some of the standout dishes include the Punjabi chole hummus, Thai chilli cauliflower, and Amritsari murgh taco, all of which showcase the chefs' skills in blending seemingly disparate flavours and techniques. And don't even get started on the desserts - the Basque burnt cheesecake is a must-try. With its fancy interiors and tranquil beach views, Fifth is the perfect spot to spend quality time with friends and family.
