Shiok your senses: Bangalore’s Pan-Asian magic

The restaurant seats over 50 people and serves authentic and delicious dishes from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, China and Indonesia. The ambience here is relaxed and friendly and is relatively reasonable.

The menu is exotic, but the seafood section is great as mostly fresh produce is served. Singapore fried prawns, Thai fish cakes; tiger prawn satay, coral and jade prawn and spiced fish grilled in banana leaves are just a few of these lip-smacking delights. For crab-lovers’, indulge in any one of these crab-based dishes be it the Singapore chilli crab, Thai yellow curry crab, or the black pepper crab.

Besides seafood, Shiok rustles up wonderful soups that make you feel warm and fuzzy. Like any other pan-Asian restaurant Shiok, too, serves the usual rice, noodles, stir-fry’s with several accompaniments of your choice, be it veg or non-veg. Some of its signature items include Thai chilli beef, chilli fried Indonesian chicken, and the ubiquitous phad-thais.

Just in for a quick bite and drink, and not a heavy meal? No worries, for Shiok has a cool cocktail lounge here, where you could relax and sip on some interesting cocktails like Artic Blues, Black Russian, Singapore Sling, Bull Frog Tequila Stinger, Martini and Shoot to the Moon whilst nibbling on short-eats.
