Since our travels across Asia, we have become specially partial to authentic Asian food and often try to indulge ourselves as a way to relive our travel adventures. Its not difficult to get your hands on good Asian food in a city like Bengaluru but after you have had your fill of the usual sushis and dimsums, you crave for originality. The Fatty Bao is an innovative, playful take on quintessential Asian food and has become well associated with dishes of an adventurous variety. Hardcore Asian food lovers should definitely try the culinary charms of The Fatty Bao as it will be a memorable as well as transformative gastronomic experience. Find it located on the 3rd Floor, 12th Main, Off 80 Feet Road, Indiranagar in Bengaluru.
The Fatty Bao is amongst the first restaurants to introduce Bengaluru to the idea of small plates, which makes it easier for diners to explore more lavishly. Menu is entirely Pan Asian, with a great section dedicated to baos and ramens. They work great if you simply want to indulge in drinks and small plates. Wines dominate the bar selection but for a true Asian experience order yourself a pot of flavoured tea. They do a wonderful fruits & flowers variation. Tuck into the small plates with, Fattys snails, spicy chicken & celery gyoza, rainbow roll, beef bulgogi bao, korokke and jackfruit bao. Those who want to go beyond small plates should sample, gochujang lamb chops, beef jungle curry, via Malaysia ramen, red Thai duck curry and pan seared tofu with soba noodles.
Section of rice & noodles is dabbled into to add to the main course. Pour yourself another cup of tea or a glass of wine to wash down the desserts. Finish off with, cranberry & soy milk parfait, warm apricot pudding, miso custard, Japanese cheesecake and peanut butter & milk chocolate torte. Bill will come to be a little hefty. Dcor is perfectly Instagram material. A vast industrial space is transformed with brightly painted wall, fun murals and bric-a-brac candy-hued furniture. Effect is casual and playful. This modern Asian bistro is ideal for couples or even a posse of foodie friends. Relax in their outdoor space on balmy Bengaluru evenings.
