Mainland China............

Those with the little extra zing for Chinese cuisine will surely have visited Mainland China, one of the long running Chinese restaurants in Bangalore. There are very many Chinese restaurants in the city, so what makes this one different. For starters, the ambiance within is very soothing with light coloured hues all round. The furniture being minimal and aptly placed gives a more spacious feel to the restaurant.
The food at Mainland is simply put delicious, the must try is the skewered lamb served on smouldering charcoal embers. These sizzling hot skewers are a treat to that growling tummy. Every bite gives a sense of instant gratification. Among the soups a definite must try is the sweet corn chicken soup, very light and subtle with the broth of boiled tender chicken and corn. A pinch of salt and pepper with chili sauce makes for that perfect soup. The chili chicken too is perfectly made with the right amount of spice and not too oily. The fried rice too is well prepared and makes for a good supper, the serving though is sufficient for two people.
Well, for those who like to have a quick smoke while you sip up your drinks, it could be a little disappointing as the entire restaurant is a no smoking area. The agonizingly long wait for the food to reach your table on the usually busy Saturday evening could irk you a little. The decor of the place may not be all that breathtaking and theme based contemporary as some of the other restaurants, but nevertheless, Mainland stands out for the quality of the food served. Delicious sumptuous food is what epitomizes Mainland China.
A dinner for two with drinks could cost anywhere between Rs.1000 – 1300.
Mainland China……..Thumbs Up!!!!!
