Chef Debojyoti Mondal with Sorshe Salmon Bowl
Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has announced the return of its global campaign, Chef Series Season Two: Flavors in Transit – From Our Roots to Your Plate. As part of this initiative, Plaza Premium Lounge Vancouver is introducing the signature Sorshe Salmon Bowl, created by Executive Chef Debojyoti Mondal, a dish that celebrates the abundance of British Columbia's local ingredients while reflecting Vancouver's rich multicultural culinary landscape.
Chef Mondal’s culinary approach has always centred on connecting people through food. Drawing from his roots in Eastern India and an internationally recognized career – highlighted by a Gold Medal at the Asia Culinary Competition – he now calls Vancouver home, finding inspiration in the region’s exceptional produce, seafood and diverse food culture to create dishes that resonate with both local guests and international travelers.
At the heart of the Sorshe Salmon Bowl is wild BC salmon paired with Pemberton potatoes, Canadian table beets and a signature black mustard seed sauce. Crafted specifically for global travelers, the bowl balances bold, traditional mustard-forward flavours with wholesome Canadian ingredients, offering a nourishing dining experience that embodies the spirit of Vancouver: diverse, welcoming, and rooted in a strong sense of place.
“Vancouver is an incredible place for chefs because of the quality of ingredients available here and the diversity of culinary influences that shape the city,” said Chef Debojyoti Mondal, Chef at Plaza Premium Lounge Vancouver. “With the Sorshe Salmon Bowl, I wanted to showcase exceptional local ingredients like wild BC salmon and Pemberton potatoes while bringing together techniques that reflect my own culinary journey. The result is a dish that celebrates both Vancouver and the connections food creates across cultures.”
By highlighting how chefs can honor their origins while celebrating local destinations, the Chef Series elevates the airport dining experience for passengers passing through Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
From now until October 31, travelers can savour Chef Debojyoti's signature Sorshe Salmon Bowl, freshly prepared at the live cooking station at Plaza Premium Lounge, International Departures, Pier D, YVR. The dish will be available in limited quantities daily, while supplies last.
