You’ll also want a bite of Mumbai’s Tad Deo Pao Bhajee, a pan-fried vegetable patty tucked between two savoury buns toasted with India’s Amul butter. In celebration of World Margarita Day, diners will also be able to enjoy six homemade margarita creations at Table from 22 February to 31 March 2020. What’s more, you can pair the street food dish of your choice with an equally delicious margarita for S$20++.
