Arrrgggggggg…..I hate being sick. This stupid throat
infection along with the other tag along diseases has cost me 3 days of my life
and still counting. I had to somehow get rid of this so that I could dive into
my awesome life again **TOUCHWOOD** and get along into the routine stuff of
work, family, friends, foooooood & food blogging. Also I have this huge TownTrendz
food meet to attend tomorrow which I have been waiting for like a month and
damn when the time arrives I am sick. On the positive note though, I am
recovering quite fast on an exponential rate **TOUCHWOOD** and that seems worthwhile,
nevertheless I missed quite a lot of fun that was planned for today. BUMMER!
Alright so back to topic! The place that I reside in Bangalore,
well it’s a little far from some of the major food hubs like Koramangala and Indiranagar,
but this place by itself plays host to many food holes in Bangalore and that my
friends is called Whitefield. Offcourse we don’t play host to places like High
Ultra or Hard Rock café or Chianti, but we do have Herbs and Spices, Toscano,
Windmills, Vivanta by Taj and many more.
So there was this one place called
Boondock Bistro which apparently opened like a year back, and I wanted to try
this place like for a long long time. So finally when an opportunity thrived on my
door I took it and tadaaaa here I am blogging about the same.
Last week I and my mom had plans to lunch out and we ended
up at Boondock Bistro just because they had an offering of Lasagna on their
menu and my mom is like a crazy fan of this dish. So after browsing through the
menu I ordered for a Cindrella and Orange Jwliwis from the drinks menu, French
Corn clear soup, Mushroom caps with BBQ sauce as the starters and for the entrée
Veg Lasagna and Boondock Mixed Veg Grill.
Cindrella: In a total gay style “Loved it”. A perfect blend
of orange, pineapple, lemon with a hint of ginger ale finely decorated with a
cherry sandwiched between a slice of orange and pineapple topped on with this
tiny little wooden turquoise with pink patches umbrella. A perfect drink to try
on.
Orange Jwliwis: A blend of Orange along with vanilla and
ice-cream, this drink was so-so. It was more sort of like a milkshake than a
mocktail and something felt odd about it. So a big NO!
French Corn clear soup: A disaster! Boil a cup of water with
fried onions, throw in a huge slice of cheese bread and BAM the soup is ready.
Couple of thinks I dint like about this drink, instead of tossing the bread
slice into the soup which made it was too squishy and soggy, the traditional crispy
bread would have done a better job and secondly the soup tasted quite watery. I
understand this is a clear soup but it shouldn’t be like dilute watery.
Mushroom caps with BBQ sauce: BLAH! Again a total disaster! I was
expecting the same mushroom stuffed starter I ate from happy brew or atleast
something similar. But this one was completely different. It was similar to
eating hara bara kabab which is not my fav starter and wont be for a really
long time. Loved the salad serving though.
Veg Lasagna: Definitely a YES! Even though I felt this dish
was quite runny it did taste amazingly fantastic. 3 words for this dish : CREAMY and CREAMY and CREAMY ! Yummmm!
Boondock Mixed Veg Grill: To be frank I wasn’t quite sure
what to expect out from this dish and it was a chance I took that day to try on
something new. Was I succeeded, may be, I would say 50-50. This dish turned out
to be a sizzler. On a bed of rice, a medley of grilled vegetables: capsicums, bell
peppers, onions, panner, tomatoes, mushrooms, then a couple of Veg Steaks which
tasted quite fine and by fine I mean classy fine, cottage steak and corn steak
sided with boiled beans, carrots, a slice of baby corn and broccoli topped with
tangy sauce. It was a very fine dish and the funniest part was, only after you
start digging into this dish will you be able to unravel its ingredients, it’s
like playing hide and seek, you go around the dish to find what’s in it. Sad
part was I couldn’t enjoy the dish like I expected I would. If you have to
enjoy a platter of this, then make sure not to order anything else. I tried to
eat what I could and had to throw away the rest. SIGH! So next time I order a
sizzler I would just order a sizzler. Also the sauce added a lot of sweetness on the dish, which should be a little milder so that I could enjoy some spiciness too.
Overall an ok-ok experience. Except for the entrée and one
of the mocktails, the rest was a disaster, and since the entrée are available at
many other places I would take a rain check on Boondock.
