Fatty Bao - Asian Gastro bar!

Its my wife's birthday and I cannot "stay calm"!

This is stretching the British 'stay calm' nonsense too far but all the same - it meant a special celebration with a nice dinner.

She loves asian food and 'Fatty Bao' had been on our radar for sometime. So, we headed out for a 7:30pm reservation. Requested for a table on the terrace and got one close to the bar. Its nice and pleasant but there are a couple of places on the terrace out in the open which would be wonderful if the night is a clear one.

We ordered a chicken teriyaki bao and the pork belly.

Pork belly is something I have been longing to try and trust me it did not disappoint. The pieces are slow braised and then flash seared to give a crisp outer covering.



The Bao was amazing also. Juicy and succulent chunks of chicken with some veggies in a soft bao.




For the main course we tried the mushroom ramen. It was basically a variety of mushrooms in a very flavorful broth with ramen(noodles). The broth as is claimed had been slow cooked for hours to give that deep flavor and was very hearty and comforting.

We washed the food with some fresh orange juice and a sparking lime.

I loved the food and the general ambiance.

The meal with taxes cost ~1700/-

There is valet parking available and booking a table would be a good idea since it tends to get pretty crowded.
