Bamboo is the Chinese Restaurant located at the
Lobby level of The Park Navi Mumbai. The restaurant is an altogether more formal
affair finished in an arresting pale green color which contrasts with the white
marble and the horizontally clad oak columns. The Chinese cooking is reflected in
the minimal eastern motifs picked out in the mirrored wall paneling, silk and leather
upholstery. The four glazed doors on the façade side open out into terraces
where diners can sit or retire to the garden.
In Bamboo with endless options in a slick menu you will always find "your dish"
on the menu. The menu has a choice of about 12 Dim Sums (with equal emphasis for
the vegetarians). Dim Sums are mainly steamed, but you will also find some stir
fried, grilled, fried or roasted. Be it the traditional and classical "Har Gau"-
prawn in translucent pastry or Duck Rolls or the unique Gouda Cheese Rolls. The
Master Chefs forte is the "Lean Cuisine". There is a separate section for the health
conscious. A whole page dedicated to creative steamed a must try in this section
is the Pan braised stuffed Sweet Jalapenos with Chilly Lemon Sauce for the vegetarians
and for the non vegetarians, Drunk Chicken (wok fired Chicken with Bamboo shoots,
Steamed in a Bamboo vessel).
The signature attractions of the menu are three dishes that surpass all. The Peking
Duck, Salt baked Chicken and a long forgotten country style dish Bamboo fish. Then
there is an array of rice preparation (again ranging from the traditional Bamboo
rice or Clay pot rice to creative Pineapple rice) and noodles. Tea drinking is an
integral part of Chinese life and their food experience. The selection has a choice
of some Chinese Teas like Long Jing, Formosa oolong, Keemun, Fresh Flower tea.....
and some tongue tickling desserts again ranging from the traditional Red Bean Pancake
or Fried Milk to the creative Chocolate Sushi.
