The restaurant is inside Taj and ambience and experience is always amazing. I never had less than excellent experience in any taj hotel. The restaurant served free peanuts which complimented my beer. Dimshum, veg main, and hakka noodles I ordered and all good. Go for it.
A nice place with live music, prompt service from very courteous staff, they helped in ordering too. Food was very good, chicken and fried rice both were very well cooked
Craved for some good Asian food and was bored with our usual joints of Mamagoto, Mainland China and the likes. Decided to try Wishpering Bamboo because their menu said they serve Mapo Tofu!
We walked in on a Sunday night at around 7.30 and were promptly seated. We ordered the following:
Soup:
Hot and Sour - Great balance of flavors, thick and sufficient in quantity even though we decided to share the soup
Starter :
We ordered the crystal veggie dumplings and loved how they were stuffed to the brim in a thin translucent cover. For us, the 6 dumplings paired well with the chilly-black bean sauce as well as the spring onion sauce that was served along with three more sauces
Main Course:
Mapo Tofu - I had first eaten this on a trip abroad and was not sure if it was available in Pune. Was pleasantly happy to know this place served it and hence did not even consider anything else. One bite into that silky tofu and what sheer bliss! Do try it if you love your Mapo Tofu! The quantity was sufficient for two.
Tip: The current menu does not show Mapo Tofu, but you can tell the server and they will make it for you for the same cost as their other main course dishes
Shandong Rice - We ordered the Shandong rice to accompany Mapo Tofu and were not disappointed. It was a bowl of stir-fried rice with caramelized onions and veggies and has a great flavor on its own. We managed to finish off the rice, and by the end of dinner were completely full to even think of desserts.
Now, to the main question - Would I visit again?
YES! We liked the food and the service was also as expected from a Blue Diamond.
This restaurant honors Zomato Gold so our bill for the night was 1200 + taxes.
Cheers!
