Sriracha Celebrates Pan Asian Cuisine with a Twist!

 Bangalore has been welcoming various cuisines across the world. Various restaurants in the city celebrate Pan Asian cuisine and Sriracha is one of them. Sriracha is distinctive from all the others in the fact that it will take you on a delightful journey of the Orient. The outlandish menu has been curated by the chefs who have its inspirations traveling different Asian Countries- Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore. Sriracha is a vivid example of the marriage between the traditional and the contemporary. The Indiranagar restaurant in Bangalore offers two unique experiences which have been inspired solely from East Asia travels. One of the experiences is the Robata Grill with a Sriracha twist where one can experience the chefs in action, using the grill to create flavourful dishes. Sriracha provides you an opportunity to explore the Japanese method of cooking- Robatayaki/ Robata Grill. This style of cooking is similar to barbecue in which the food items are cooked at varying speeds over hot charcoal. Many Japanese restaurants, both in Japan and abroad, specializing in this style of food preparation. The Fresh Turmeric and Red Chili King Prawns were good to taste which was served with plum and pineapple salsa. The crunchy prawns with the salsa were complementing well. The Tamarind and Lemon Grass chicken too stood out well when had a bite brushed in a spiced lemon dip. My personal favorites were the Pork Belly presented with the Char Su sauce. Unlike other places in the city, the pork was tender and not chewy. In fact, it was juicy! King Prawns While I was enjoying the food, I ordered Ruby Saigon, mocktail (a mix of apple juice, grapes, cinnamon, Hibiscus tea, Mint), Digin, cocktail and Old Fashion (whiskey). Ruby Saigoan The Pandan Leaf Wrapped Cottage Cheese needs a special mention. Trust me, the panner was so soft and tender that it just melted in my mouth just like butter. And it had a sweet natural taste which was favourable to the palate. Cottage Cheese wrapped with Pandan leaf Another unique experience to be relished is The Characteristic Charcoal Khmer Barbeque. Sriracha has introduced for the first time in India. The experience of a fascinating Live Charcoal Experience placed in the middle of two special dining experiences can be booked well in advance.
