The 2nd Year Anniversary Celebrations @ The Fatty Bao | Bangalore
16:23 |
| Raindrop cake |
We have tried a variety of cuisines in the past and we get
excited whenever we get the opportunity to try out something different. Our
country is home to diverse cultures and in turn there are loads of different
kinds of food to try out, which is a challenge by itself. Now, just imagine the
variation of food across the entire globe! It is practically impossible to give
your taste buds a taste of all that!
We have recently been to The Fatty Bao, Bangalore for their
2nd year anniversary celebration (called Fatty's Travel Tales) and we were overwhelmed with love
as Fatty loves us to the moon and back! ;) They are an Asian Gastro Bar very well known for their unique preparations and colorful presentation! Headed by their Executive Chef Prashanth they have been in the spotlight for quite some time at least in Bangalore and especially for youngsters.
As a part of their celebration, they have a special menu
containing delicacies from the kitchens of East and South East Asia. We were
privileged to be a part of the exclusive lunch preview of this limited edition
menu. Also, they have tied up with Tiger Air to host a small contest during this special occasion. Every customer gets to fill up a boarding pass which contains a few basic questions about Tiger Air and lucky winners win a return trip to Singapore courtesy: Tiger Air (Who else! :P).
Most of the preparations were very different from what we
normally eat and the taste and presentation of the items were exceptional. The
Fatty Bao, Bangalore is located in 12th main road, Indiranagar.
Their decor, seating arrangements, crockery etc are all very colourful. They
have spacious seating, giving their customers privacy and room to breathe and
spread their arms and legs.
Now, coming down to the food and drinks:
There were many items on the menu and we did try most of
them. A few of them were absolutely brilliant, a few remarkable and the rest
could have been better/did not suit our palate.
A must try would be the Tiger Sushi rolls which was
presented well and had a sharp and refreshing taste. The bright orange colour
was very attractive. The salmon was well done and the sushi rolls were quite
spicy. The rolls also had a crunch to them due to the cucumber.
The kimchi fries were pretty decent. Since we are not so
fond of fries in general we would not comment much. Presentation was spot on!
It had a lot of grated cheese which tasted great with the fries.
The Lo Bak Go was pretty average. It consisted of radish
cakes with mushrooms. There was not even a trace of oil on the cakes, but it
would have been better if the cakes had more mushrooms in them. The problem is,
radish by itself does not have much flavour. Again, the presentation was
remarkable especially the spiral vegetables.
The Roujiamo or the Chinese hamburgers were delish! It had
bao buns, with lettuce and juicy pork. The pork was tender and smoky and the
buns were soft like marshmallows! The entire thing was grilled and every bite
was delightful.
The Har Cheong Gai was one of the best items on the menu.
The chicken was perfectly done and the best part was that the batter coating
was also tasty. The usage of shrimp paste gave it a unique taste which was
absolutely mouth watering!
The carbon prawn tempura preparation was simple with a
twist. It had a jet black colour and the presentation was brilliant. The colour
did not affect the taste in any way. The prawns were juicy and tasted great with
the mayonnaise served. This dish also comes with prawn crackers.

Time for a drinks break: All the drinks on the special menu
are alcoholic. The marina bay and the master po were the highlights. The master
po drink has a lapsang souchong infused vodka which gave the drink a smoky
touch which was mind blowing! Apart from that it had a lot of vodka.
The marina bay was simple and a balanced cocktail with the
flavours of lime. It has lime infused vodka and also fresh lime. This drink was
more refreshing than the “making you drunk” types. Now back to the food.

The Murtabak was one of the best preparations. The
preparation consisted on pan cakes filled with spicy minced lamb. The pan cakes
were thin and had loads of lamb. The stuffing was generous and the mixture was
insanely tasty! The dish was simple but as mentioned: insanely tasty! If you
are a lamb lover, you are definitely going to reorder this one.
The Bicol Express preparation consists of a pork stew served
with garlic fried rice. The pork stew was again mouth watering with fatty
pieces of pork. It was very flavourful and light. The fried rice tasted so good
that one can have it without a side preparation.
The Saigon Bun Rieu was probably the best preparation. The
crab broth tasted supreme and this is the first time we came across vermicelli
noodles! There were also small crab meat dumplings distributed in the broth and
they were super tasty. The broth was very well balanced and this dish alone
compensates for all the others.

Now that’s all from the main course side. The desserts were
worth taking home and keeping as a show piece. They were so well presented and
looked beautiful!
The raindrop cake had an amazing presentation. The water
cakes encompassed some micro greens and kiwi fruit slices. There was a small
portion of ice cream with crumble and take a bite of everything together and it
will taste pretty good. One needs to understand that water cakes are made up of
water and water has no taste, just special effects!
The sakura winter tasted good. The flavours of yoghurt and
vanilla were dominating. It has a shell which needs to be broken with the back
of a spoon and then: enjoy!
So, that’s all from our side regarding their anniversary
special menu. This celebration started a couple of days ago from 11th
Aug and will run till the 28th.

As mentioned, we are always excited to try out new and
different types of food and after this experience: we are somewhat satiated!
We definitely recommend trying out this special menu till it
lasts.
Overall, this menu is quite balanced for both vegetarians
and non vegetarians with a lot of meaty delights.
