As crazy as it sounds, the sushi pizza is The Fatty Bao’s way of marrying the most popular Japanese dish with the most popular Italian dish. While the base is made with sushi rice, the toppings vary depending on vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We tried the Cross-bred Tuna Pizza Sushi that comes with thin slices of yuzu-marinated tuna along with jalapeno, cream cheese mayo, tobiko, fried capers and mustard cress. As you bite into the pizza, the sushi rice base along with the marinated tuna and cream cheese mayo provide a perfect balance of flavours. The jalapenos add the right amount of zing. Rs 645

Think Japanese food and the first thing that comes to mind is the sushi. You must have heard about different varieties of sushi too, like Nigiri and Norimaki. But what about pizza sushi or pita pocket sushi? Well, giving the traditional sushi an innovative twist is the Asian gastropub, The Fatty Bao, with 14 different variations of sushi.
“For a meal that seems so simple, sushi seems to intimidate even its most loyal fans. While sushi has morphed into many different forms and shapes around the world, it remains the most popular Japanese food and there’s so much to explore in this delicacy. What we have tried to do with the promotion is to make it more fun and experiment with different forms, ingredients, flavours that haven’t been explored yet,” said Prashanth Puttaswamy, executive chef, The Fatty Bao.
Cross-bred Spicy Salmon Taco Sushi: Spicy and crispy with a tang, this is a good bet for those who love taco and fish. While the tobiko lends an authentic touch, the avocado refreshes the palate. Rs 545
The Liberal Tobimayo Pita Pocket Sushi: Sushi rice wrapped in deep-fried tofu pockets that come with a generous dose of tobiko mayo and crabmeat. Bonito (dried tuna) flakes enhance the taste. Rs 545
Even if you aren’t a fan of vegetarian sushi, try the Rainbow Spin Sandwich Sushi that’s such a burst of flavours. Sriracha + tomato caviar + marinated vegetables = fresh and spicy! Rs 395
Spicy Tempura Fried Prawns Roll Sushi: Think traditional sushi rolls or Hosomaki, but, with a twist. They come with a slice of cheese and are fried, with prawns on top. Dip them in soy sauce, and take a pinch of wasabi and pickle before you pop them in your mouth. Rs 525
Uncork bottled cocktails to go with your sushi meal. We sipped on Cool-Ade. Beefeater, cucumber, elderflower, thyme syrup and bitters spell thanda thanda, cool cool!
