Monkey Bar Team Spirit Food Festival | Bangalore
22:51 |
| The Team Spirit Spread |
It’s that time of the year when Indian Cricket enthusiasts rejoice. If you know what we are talking about, you just made our job a lot easier. If in case you didn’t, this time of the year is IPL time. There have been 11 editions of the IPL so far, considering the ongoing one & it is undoubtedly the biggest annual sporting festival in our country.
The IPL does not need any introductions & the same goes
for The Monkey Bar, Bangalore which is hosting the Team Spirit food festival.
This post will be all about this food festival, about what we tried, our
recommendations, feedback & the amount of research it took for these guys
to come up with an elaborate menu covering all home states of the IPL teams.
As mentioned, the Team Spirit menu consists of items from all
the home IPL teams: Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Rajasthan etc.
to name a few. This festival is running across all Monkey Bar outlets in the
country for the entire duration of the IPL. Now that’s one long food festival!
The advantage is that there is a lot of time for anybody to plan a visit &
support their team during the live screening. The best part: even if your team
loses, you can say that your team’s home cuisine is better ;).
Now, coming down to the food & drinks:
 |
| Toast to Calcutta, Pork Powerplay & Fried Riders : KKR |
Regarding drinks, we tried the Toast To Calcutta, which is a
Gondhoraj based cocktail with a Vodka base. The drink is light & very
aromatic. A classic Monkey Bar cocktail. On top of this, there is a 1+1 on all
drinks so it is not only the taste but also the value for money.
We’ll try to keep it short, so we’ll give our
recommendations first:
Lal Maas Royals: We couldn’t keep our hands away from this
one. This is a taco which has Lal Maas filling in it & it is too good to be
true. Try insisting on lesser amount of mayo as that’ll bring out the flavor of
the meat. If you’re a fan of the Rajasthan Royals, this is for you!
Murgh of the Match: This is a char grilled chicken
preparation honoring the Punjab team. They’ve tried to recreate the Dhaba style
chicken which is served in the region & we must say that it doesn’t matter
because it’s mouth-watering! Moreover, this is a good companion with drinks
& is filling.
Kothu Super Kings: This dish is obviously honoring Chennai
Super Kings & was delightful. Many might complain about this but that is
probably because they are unaware of the concept. Kothu Paratha is mostly
shredded paratha & less shredded meat.

| Gully Bao |
Captain Kheema: This is a Hyderabad based specialty which is
a puffed roll stuffed with spicy & tasty mutton keema. This is not for the
calorie conscious but boy does it taste good.
Full Toss Fish: This dish is honoring the Royal Challengers
Bangalore & consists of Rava coated Mackerels inside sliders. The mint mayo
adds a zing to it. It is perfect as finger food.
Gully Bao: If you’ve watched the film Gully Boy, you know
which team this dish is honoring. This is a recreation of a Misal Pav in the
form of a Bao. Once you bite into this, this really does taste similar to kudos
to the chef & the team behind for the creativity involved. This is the only
recommendation we can give for the vegetarians. We’re sorry :P.
We believe the dish called the Fried Riders will be a huge
hit, especially amongst the Bengali folk & fish lovers in general.

However, we felt that the Pork Powerplay, the Kolkata street
style Kolkata dumplings could be made better. The dumplings themselves &
the pork filling was not the problem. It was the seasoning as the typical
Kolkata pork momos are a tad bit spicier. Pork as a meat has a natural smoky
aroma which we felt was missing in this.
The Laal Mas Royals & Captain Kheema are our favorites,
do let us know if you find yours!
Overall, this is yet another well executed food festival from
Monkey Bar. The food has a greater chance of winning your heart than your
favorite team. The festival is on for quite some time so do give read through
& try out their offerings.
Good luck to all the participating teams!
We’ll be back soon with a lot of posts this month so you
know what’s coming ;).
Till then – Cheer on & Bon Apetit!
