Tasting Chinese Menu @Mahjong Room - ITC WelcomHotels, Bangalore


Mahjong is a hidden gem, located in Richmond Road. I was hosted for lunch the entire experience was amazing food, ambience and service. The name Mahjong is a tile-based game that was developed in China during the Qing dynasty. 

Ambience decorated in classic reds and hints of gold is a perfect place to celebrate any occasion. The quality, freshness and delicately prepared dishes were bursting with flavors and every dish was plated so elegantly. I rarely get to taste authentic Chinese food and thoroughly enjoyed everything they served.



Chefs from Mahjong Room at WelcomHotel have curated a menu inspired by the intricacies of the game; Mahjong which requires lot of skill, strategy and calculation similarly the menu features dishes from China’s Sichuan, Hunan and Cantonese province every dish should be prepared in a precise manner.  

Signature dishes from the menu include appetizers such as Crisp Lotus Stem with Sesame, Crystal Dimsums stuffed with water chestnuts or mushrooms, from main course, experience signatures like Mapo Tofu with Black Bean and Chili Flakes and; Cantonese Lamb, Hot and Spicy Hunan Prawns, Gong Bao Chicken Dry Chili, Lotus Leaf Wrapped Jasmine Rice. 

Must try desserts are Passion Coconut Lime Shortcake and The Real Orient Mahjong are the signature Desserts.

Signature concoctions from our bartender include Sakura Cosmos, The Battle of Chibi, The Monkey King, The Chinese Emperor Iced Tea amongst others.

Dishes we got to taste:
Butterfly Pea Flower Tea 

Butterfly pea flower tea is spiked with lime juice which changes the color from rich cobalt blue to purple. Very mild flavor from lime the tea enhances the appetite. 

Mahjong Nuts are the best very addictive sweet with hint of chilly.
