I was invited for a Chef's Table lunch featuring the new menu at Mango Tree Bistrobar, Bangalore. The new menu showcases Thai dishes with a twist and some additions of famous Pan-Asian dishes that have the same flavour profile as Thai food.
Here's a photo tour...
The starters included Grapow Sang Choi Bao - minced chicken with basil chili lettuce wrap. The sharp hits of chili together with refreshing lettuce and herbs brought an array of sensations. A starter that wakes up your taste buds and prompts you to explore...
Baby Corn Tempura - crispy baby corn with sweet and sour dipping sauce. I love the presentation...
There are some innovative cocktails, too...
Fish Kung Pao - spicy stir-fried fish fillet was delicately flavoured and just melted in my mouth...
Salt & Pepper Prawn - Sauteed with salted black beans and garlic. This was my favorite in the menu as the plump prawns were perfectly cooked and the garlic flavor mildly stood out...
Pad Thai - stir-fried rice noodles with special tamarind sauce were interesting...
Jasmine Rice and Thai Green Curry - Sweet and spicy green curry is definitely recommended for its flavor and silkiness...
For dessert, Mango Sticky Rice is a very interesting choice. The ripe mangoes goes really well with the sweet sticky rice....
The innovative additions and twists make it a fun dining experience. The service is unhurried and nice. Do check it out if you want a slightly unusual dining experience.
Leaving you with some beautiful smiles...
That cocktail in the bag looks very interesting! What was it? (the martini looks lovely too!) Your photos are making me hungry, which isn't good at midnight lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us for Photo Friday again this week! I appreciate your participation!
Thank you. The cocktail in the bag had ripe mango juice for sure. I guess there was Malibu and a bit of lime juice. There was also a hint of herby flavors that I am unable to pinpoint.
DeleteThe sticky rice and mango look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI adore Thai food and this has me both hungry and homesick for Thailand! Love that chip/drink in the bag combo. How fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy! Seems like being invited to the chef's table is the way to go. I liked everything you presented but would like to try the baby corn tempura and the drink in a bag (first time I see those items).

ReplyDeleteI always wait, in anticipation, for your tantalizing pictures. I can enjoy them vicariously without adding a pound. Can't decide which dish is my favorite, though, without actually tasting.
