Silver Wok, Off Richmond Road, Bangalore

This restaurant serves Chinese fare.  The menu is quite extensive.  The restaurant is air conditioned and seats less than 100.  On a Saturday night I was among only a handful of guests who had unfortunately gone to this place.

Almost as soon as the whisky arrived, so did the flies.  It was really amazing as I found not only the common housefly but also a really small variety and the bigger variety that is normally present near animals.  As the waiters tried their best to rid the place of the flies, I put up with this inconvenience.  It was then that I realized that the interior walls looked rather patchy and stained.

The asparagus and chicken soup was very tasty.  The Prawn - Spinach fry was rather good..it was fried prawns served along with crispy fried chopped spinach...except for the spinach being a bit salty, it was rather tasty.
Fish with mushroom and bamboo shoots was a dish in thick gravy (primarily of tomato, garlic and vinegar).  It was not bad at all but contained probably 3 sliced button mushrooms and 5-6 pieces of bamboo shoots.
I also tried a mixed meat fried rice.  Nothing special about it, but the meat (pork and mutton) were rather hard - probably because it was frozen and not thawed enough or probably because it was re-heated a number of times and had hence become bereft of moisture.
These four items cost INR 760/- - pretty expensive for the experience.  1 large RC costs INR 230/-.
Reco - Certainly not worth it.
