I have always loved the food at Trader Vic's Mai Tai lounge in Bangalore; so was really excited to know that they launched a new grill and wok menu. Along with my husband I went there to check out the new varieties and also enjoy the new flavors!
I started with a mocktail which had flavors of Mango Tai. This tropical drink was very refreshing and relieved me of all the stress and fatigue that I got during driving through the traffic. The mint leaves and just the right amount of ice complimented this cocktail perfectly!

We also tried out the coconut based mocktail which was served in a unique coconut shaped lau bowl of Trader Vic's. It had a hint of citrus and was garnished with pineapple slices which refreshed the mind and readied our palate for the burst of flavors which awaited us!
Next up we tried out the starters from the new Grill menu. We took the Tsukuni chicken which was miso soy minced chicken skewers served with asian tarter sauce. This was really yummy and grilled to perfection - neither under-cooked nor overcooked! It was very juicy and tasty.
We tried out Huli Huli chicken next which is a Hawaiian specialty boneless chicken grilled to perfection and marinated with sweet & sour pineapple juice. It had a tangy taste to it and was one of my favorites dishes from the new menu too!
In vegetarian section of the Grill menu, we tried out Cilantro Yogurt Babycorn Skewers which are tender grilled babycorn marinated in spicy scallion yogurt marinade. I'm not a big fan of babycorn but this was crunchy and yummy so we devoured them in record time!
We tried out also our regular favorite from the old menu which is Maui Waui shrimp which are prawns with coconut crust, maui dressing and cilantro thrown in for good measure! This dish has always been and will continue to be our favorite from the Trader Vic's stable!
For main course we tried from the Wok Menu the vegetarian main course of BBQ Vegetables like eggplant, onions, squash and mushrooms with Tofu which we had with Jasmine rice.
Enjoyed this experience of exploring the new Grill and Wok menus at Trader Vic's Mai Tai lounge and looking forward to many wonderful gastronomical journeys like this in the future too!
