Republic Of Noodles - Lemon Tree, Bangalore

I had the pleasure to visit this Pan Asian Cuisine. I am personally not a fan of noodles but this time I was very eager to have it, I heard that this place has the best noodles in town and its true. Let me first tell you about this huge, good, different and wonderful place. The place is decorated in red and the light is just enough bright to rich the place, then make the place glittery. The place had a good Asian feel to it and the table set up was a standard setting and to add to the decor a Dev Wine was placed in most of the tables

Drinks

Firstly I had a Lemon Tree Citrus Martini with black olives, this was a first time that I had with black olives due to which the drink actually did not hit the spot. I finished the drink and repeated the order with green olive, the made the difference and hit the right spot.

One of the other blogger had ordered the Lemon Tree Rum Cooler, which was surely the best rum cooler that I liked. The rum content was consistent all throughout the drink (heard from her).

Starters

Firstly we were served Fried Wonton, which looked rather small but the punch that carried with it was wonderful. I was glad that Chef Surajit had sent this dish first.

The Crispy Water Chestnuts with Bamboo shoots was served, I liked chestnut is very less quantity but this dish change my taste toward it. I had a very good quantity of it and enjoyed every bite of the same.

Then Banana Leaf wrapped Grilled Fish was a treat to me in so much, I made sure that I had four of the same. I loved the way fish was cooked and the ingredient that went into the dish, it was simply yum.

The Steamed Tofu with lime chilly dressing did interest me for the small amount of after taste of lime. I like the was it match properly with my martini.

Thai garlic pepper prawns was the next to be served. I usually prefer prawn cooked than fired due to the fact that the prawn loses its taste. In dish the taste was lost to some extent, even thou the dish stood up for the matter of fact seasoning.

The Pot Roasted Spare Ribs really hit the spot, they were cooked good and it gave a slight sweet after taste to it. This is a good heavy starter.

Were served Veg Vietnamese Roll and a mushroom starter

Soup

The Tom Yum Goong Soup was something that I felt that was made just to my liking. I loved the prawn treats in the clear soup. This was something that I really had to have only one serving as I was filled with ribs to the extent that I can have some main course and little dessert.

Main course

I was waiting to have the noodles and I had just enough place in my tummy to try the noodles. I stuffed myself with Phad Thai noodles to extent to have only the dessert due to the taste, I loved the way that at least one peanut came with each morsel.

I was full but had enough place for desserts, this changed for when I had the Jasmine steamed rice with prawn green curry, the combination was so great really did not mind not having the dessert for the same.

Some of the other served dishes are Shredded chicken, Thai Fried Rice, Yellow Curry Fish, Tofu and mushroom curry, and Sri Lankan curry fish.

Dessert

Yummy Chestnut dessert, exotic flavoured ice creams and Coconut jelly. I tasted the ice creams and they were yum. I had to restrict myself to just a spoon of each of the ice cream (you can never say no to ice cream), they were Tamarind, Kaffir lime, Choco Chilli, Wasabi, Lemongrass and Green Tea
