Sake, Zuri , Whitefeild ,Bangalore

It was our first date after the baby. A well deserved one. We wanted to be special. And we wanted to go to a good place. We left at about 9 and wanted to go to some star hotel , some place that serves 24/7. Krish wanted to go to either Lalit Ashok or ITC Gardenia having gone  ITC Windsor the last time and loving it. But once it the car I started getting nervous about leaving the baby , although my mom was baby sitting. I insisted on going some place close to home and we decided on Zuri , Whitefeild.

Zuri is a go to place for parties in Accenture, were I used to work then. We went in and sure enough there was a party going on in the ground floor restaurant. We wanted to go to the roof top one . It was called Sake - Pan Asian restaurant and Lounge. The expectations were very high from the pics online. and the moment we entered I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a dark dungeon like place. No ambiance. And no customers for that matter. Just us and another couple busy smoking, probably a joint cause they were a little off the hook.

 We took the last table and i was facing a broken generator of me sorts and a small waterfall which didn't work. I didn't like it a bit. The service was that of a star hotel though. But even the food disappointed. We ordered a crispy fried lotus stem that was honey glazed and mai tais. The mai tai was a bit too stiff and had cheap rum and the lotus stem was good the first bite and then tiring. We were served plain Wontons with the drink and that was the best of the lot. We left quite soon without finishing out food or drink cause it was too sober . This is not how a star restaurant should be kept. A big no no.:(

CRISPY FRIED LOTUS STEM AND PLAIN WONTONS. THE POOR CLARITY IS CAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE LIGHTING IN THERE.

THE HONEY GLAZED LOTUS STEM- WAS A BIT TOO SWEET TO EAT AFTER THE FIRST FEW BITES.
