When someone talks about Chinese food in India, the mention of ‘Mainland China’ becomes mandatory. This chain of immensely popular restaurants has become synonymous to great Chinese food everywhere in the country and still enjoys a wide customer base even after so many years. Since it’s arrival in the early 90’s via Mumbai, the restaurant brand has grown tenfold by serving authentic oriental food in good-looking, traditional surroundings. For families addicted to Chinese cuisine, visiting Mainland China is a tradition of sorts and the outlet nearest to their home has become their constant culinary reprieve. Out of many Mainland China outlets across Bengaluru, we specially favor the one at Siddapura, Whitefield Main Road. It’s often frequented by families and office goers during lunch hours.
The key reason behind the success of Mainland China is it’s authentic five-star quality Chinese food, which they offer for really reasonable prices. Dishes handpicked from provinces of China finds home on the menu of Mainland China in the most authentic and delicious way. The long queue of diners waiting their turn for the table is an indication of the restaurant’s high demand. Few Japanese and Thai dishes also features on the menu if you want to diversify your meal. Pair the pot of Chinese tea with an array of appetizers like, basil flavoured dumplings, pan fried Asian chilli fish, Malaysian curried prawns, drums of heaven and oriental crispy lamb. Follow it up with likes of, roast lamb hunan Sichuan style, vegetable dumplings in chilli soya, sea bass steamed with dragon chilli, mixed seafood in a hot pot and steamed Chinese greens & tofu in a mild ginger sauce.
With few Chinese staples the meal would become memorable. Sweeten your palate with, chocolate dome or rambutan with ice cream. Service is prompt and attentive, which accentuates the dining experience. Décor is very much keeping in true style of Mainland China so expect dark brown dining table sets, Asian-inspired wall art, trio of golden terracotta warriors, moongate entrance and dim lighting. While the restaurant may not be fancy, it is attractive and smart. The modern interiors infused by a dose of oriental elements lends a pleasing appeal for the diners. Opt for their buffet to sample a wider variety for fixed prices.
