China Toss is a restaurant located in Mulik Capital Complex in Kalyani Nagar.All this while, I had passed this place many a times, but never had got a chance to visit it.
Last month, I finally went there as part of PEO tasting. The restaurant mainly serves Chinese and Asian food, but recently has also started with an Indian food menu.

#Ambience

The ambience is elegant and graceful. As we enter, we get to see a Lord Budhdha statue in front of us. The entire paraphernalia of the place is reminiscent of the oriental world.
We can see bamboo sticks hanging from the ceiling, chinese lanterns, wall hangings, chinese rugs and lights. The seating has many variants from high chairs to cushioned chairs to sofa seats.
We also have an open section on the right where we have wooden tables and chairs. Weather permitting, the open section must be magical during the evenings.
There is also a well equipped bar on our left.

#Service

The staff was extremely courteous during our visit, but a little slow to my liking. Though all our requests were accepted and we had a good time.

#Food

We had the following mocktails during our visit-

Watermelon and Basil-Fresh basil, watermelon juice and aerated water. It was a nice option given the hot afternoon.

Guava Chilli- Guava Juice, tobasco, red chilli and salt. This is one of my favourite mocktails and they did complete justice to it. Good stuff.

Fresh Lime Soda- Our humble lime and soda concoction. Refreshing as always.

Fruit Punch- The best mocktail we had . It had a mix of various fruit juices and ice cream. The resultant flavour was wonderful.

Mango Mule- Here, they mixed Mango puree, ginger,lime, cucumber, mint, honey syrup and soda to prepare this mocktail. It was good, but could have been better in terms of blending of the ingredients.

We had the following items in food-

Smoked Chilli Mushroom- Mushroom pieces coated with corn flour and then deep fried in a sweet and spicy delectable sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks.
A must try for mushroom lovers.

Crispy Chilli Garlic Chicken- Chicken pieces tossed in a chilly garlic sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks and then fried until it turns crispy. The sauce had made the dish delicious. However, had the chicken been more tender, it would have been much more enjoyable.

Shanghai Dimsum Veg- Steamed dimsums with filling comprising of an assortment of vegetables and topped with a spicy sauce and along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks.
The dimsums were steamed nicely and vegetables were well cooked. Overall a pleasurable dish.

Shredded Lamb in Cumin Sauce- This was a rare miss in our meal. Sliced lamb fried in a wok along with onion, leeks,coriander and cumin. The downside was that the lamb was chewy and did not blend with cumin at all.
Maybe they can tweak this dish to make it better.

Yakitori Prawns- This was a real marvel from their kitchen. I can come back just to try this. Slow fried prawns cooked in a wok in yakitori sauce along with tomato, onion, capsicum, yellow bellpepper and leeks. The prawns were succulent and left me wanting for more.

Thai Red Curry Veg- Slow simmered spicy curry with thai red curry paste, fresh sweet coconut, sour tamarind and fresh herbs. The gravy was consistent and the myriad flavours of the different ingredients could be dinstinctly deciphered. The taste of coconut milk was not overpowering which was extremely pleasing for me.
It was served along with well cooked steamed rice.

Chilly Garlic Noodles Veg- Noodles cooked in chilli garlic paste along with various vegetables and garnished with leeks. The noodles were cooked to perfection and were not oily.

Dessert Platter- The dessert platter included honey noodles(Darsaan) with ice cream.Here flat noodles were fried, soaked in a honey based sauce and served with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate sauce is poured over both darsaan and ice cream.

Next we had fried ice cream, where vanilla ice cream is covered in coconut crumbs and then deep fried and topped with chocolate sauce. It was really tempting.

At last we had chocolate brownie garnished with nuts. Sumptuous and a treat for chocolate lovers.
