Mai Bao - New Delhi

The dishes and flavors were rather new so would recommend if you're okay with experimenting with new flavors. Quality and taste was good. We were really confused about what to order so we told the waiter to surprise us and he didn't disappoint so would give 10/10 for the service.

A Mix of Standout Dishes and Unique Experiments I recently dined at Mai Bao and found the restaurant to offer a range of dishes, from standout favorites to unique experiments that may not be for everyone. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive, which contributed to a pleasant dining experience. The salted egg shrimp was a definite highlight during my visit. The shrimp was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the salted egg sauce provided a delightful flavor. What really set this dish apart was Mai Bao's unique mayonnaise dip recipe, which added a creamy richness that complemented the shrimp beautifully. I highly recommend trying this dish. While I didn't order the Hainanese chicken during this visit, I have previously enjoyed it several times through food delivery services. The chicken has consistently been tender and juicy, with fragrant and well-seasoned rice. This classic dish is definitely a must-try for fans of traditional Asian cuisine. The chili crab, on the other hand, was a bit of a mixed bag. While the crab itself was cooked well, the dish was quite dry, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the chili crab's spiciness may not be suitable for everyone, so keep that in mind when ordering. An interesting and unexpected addition to the menu was the rice cooked in coconut milk. This dish offered a unique twist on traditional rice, with the coconut milk adding a hint of sweetness and creaminess. While this dish might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's worth a try for those looking for something different. In conclusion, Mai Bao offers a mix of standout dishes like the salted egg shrimp and Hainanese chicken, alongside more experimental options like the chili crab and coconut milk rice. The atmosphere and service contribute to an enjoyable dining experience, and I would recommend giving Mai Bao a try, keeping in mind the varying levels of dish quality. Rating: 3.9/5

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mai Bao, and I must say that it was a delightful experience. The food was fantastic, and the staff was attentive and polite, making for a memorable dining experience. The authenticity of the cuisine at Mai Bao is undeniable. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor, and it was evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft. The Miso Ramen was a standout dish, with a rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh ingredients that complemented the dish perfectly. The Ayam Goreng was also exceptional, with perfectly cooked chicken that was tender and juicy. The staff at Mai Bao was also a highlight of my dining experience. They were well-tailored, polite, and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a pleasant dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they were more than happy to make recommendations based on my preferences. While the food and service were exceptional, the decor could use some improvement. The restaurant's ambiance was a bit lackluster and could benefit from some upgrades to make it a more inviting space. The Opera Cake was also a bit of a letdown, as the coffee flavor was overpowering. However, the presentation of the dessert was impressive, and it was evident that the pastry chef put a lot of effort into it. Overall, I would highly recommend Mai Bao to anyone looking to try new cuisine. The food is outstanding, the staff is delightful, and while the decor and dessert could use some work, it's still a great place to enjoy a meal. Based on my experience, I would give Mai Bao a rating of 4 out of 5.

The numerous great dining options present at the DLF Commons can get intimidating at times because of the choices one is presented with. I chose to write about Mai Bao because I had one of the more memorable recent dining experiences there with my parents. Went there on a weekday when the foot traffic was lighter and liked the nice matte?!? coloured interiors and cozy seating. The menu was fairly simple to navigate. They apparently specialise in Asian street food (Singaporean to be more specific) and that caught my eye. Hence I ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice which was really well done. They managed to get the texture of the rice and the chicken on point along with the red sauce. The dark sauce which is usually present in Singapore was not present here and instead which we were given soya sauce which is my only gripe. The crispy Duck Bao was excellent as well which I shared with my parents. I cannot tell much about the Nasi Goreng and the Steamed Fish which my parents ordered since I only tasted a few spoons but from what I could gather, they enjoyed their meals and my parents are very hard to please. The chef was based in Singapore for some time from what I could gather during our brief conversation. The service was also excellent and the wait staff is keen and attentive. Highly recommended.

Mai Bao is located in the recently renovated DLF Avenue . It's a Singaporean street food eatery with a menu comprising of other Pan Asian food as well. The decor is simple and pastel colours are used . The Merlion stand at the entry enhances the Singaporean touch to the decor. We visited Mai Bao for lunch and started with the Vegetarian Laksa , couldn't have not tried it . The Laksa was super delicious with light rice noodles ,a coconut milk based gravy with accompaniments. Not trying the Dimsums here would have been a pity. So light and good. Also tried Popiah , a dish made with rice sheets wrapped around salad and topped with the most delicious sauce have now become my favourite here . And for me a salad is must . The Pomelo salad was really refreshing .How can one visit Mai Bao and miss having a Bao . The creamy Mushroom Baos were just yum. Also must try are the Yam puffs . Crispy deep fried yam croquettes stuffed with spinach were a delight to savour on. For mains tried the Nasi Goreng . Tossed rice in Asian spices with a portion of silken tofu with crisps to make it as authentic as possible. For desserts we tried the very traditional Kuih Seri Muka . A steamed Coconut rice base with a Pandan custard set on top. One can also go for the Chocolate Opera cake . They also have other traditional desserts as well. Everything we savoured here was exceptionally good whether it was presentation or quality.We ate to our hearts content. . The staff was extremely efficient and hospitable. Mai Bao should definitely be on you next eating out list . Follow my food journey on Instagram as hoppingontoes
