FBAB Meetup at Rasta - Kalyan Nagar

I had the pleasure to be the part of the first FBAB (Food Bloggers Association, Bangalore) meetup at Rasta, Kalyan Nagar in Banglore.

Chef Bibhuti Bhusan Panigrahy, he is a very humble and good person to interact. He co-founder of FBAB and a very active member. The other members of FBAB that attended the meetup was Shruti Suresh, Shobana Vijay, Nita Mehta, Rumana Nazarali, Naveen Suresh, Harishankar Camala, Rahul Baskaran and Sujay Krishna. Vikram Raghu is the manager of Rasta who took care of us during the meetup.

Starters

Zucchini Fritters topped with Tomato Salsa was a very good combination, this an excellent dish to have with a chilled beer, make sure that the zucchini is had with the salsa.



Vegetable Rissoles was served with tomata ketchup, this slightly blunt and I would have preferred either mustard, tobasco sauce or the salsa that was served with the zucchini.



Chicken & Cheese Balls with Chilli Aioli, the aioli gave a bitter experience and the same was compensated with the mayonnaise.



Prawn Vol-au-Vent was a treat that by looking at it I got the picture of Keema puffs. The prawn Vol-au-Vent is on a higher side and this a one of ways for people to try prawns for the first time, as the taste of prawns isn't that evident other that for the full prawn topped with it.



Main Course

I choose to have Baked Chicken Parmigiano and taste Grilled Fish Steak with Lemon-Butter Sauce from the others. The baked chicken parmigiano does not look like it would fill you but it will. It had a crispy edges with soft chicken, the dish needs to needs to had soon because the chicken tends to harden too much as it gets cold.



The grilled fish steak with lemon butter sauce was very tasty but it wasn't enough to filled my appetite (if I had the same as my main course).

Dessert

Caramel Fruit Basket, I found the serving portion to be less.



Belgian Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream, I loved the chocolate and brownie which was slightly on the crispy side.
