How about a breathtaking view from the 31st floor of World Trade Centre while you learn to make some easy stir fry dishes? I have experienced this recently at the Stir Fry Class by Executive Chef Myo, Chef Rabi Singh, and Chef Santosh at the most beautiful location in Bengaluru - High Ultra Lounge, Malleshwaram.
I love Pan-Asian stir fried dishes and when I got an invite to attend this culinary session, there was no reason to say no! This was my first visit to High Ultra Lounge which is located on the 31st floor of World Trade Centre, Malleshwaram. They have valet parking, so not to worry about finding a parking in between the hustle and bustle of that side of the city. Your 'Wow' moment starts soon after you enter the lift counting the floors. This luxurious lounge is the highest lounge in South India and its 421 ft high. The beautiful view from the lounge is not so very common scene in Bangalore.
High Ultra Lounge offers delectable Pan Asian food and chefs from High showed us how to make some of the best stir fries by sharing some of the tricks and techniques from their kitchen. The three stir fry dishes - Baby corn Eggplant, Chicken in Black Bean sauce and Long Beans with Soy Garlic sauce were on the menu for the culinary session.

| Chefs with a participant |
The team from High made sure that audience can also be part of cooking and for each step; they were giving guidance for the participants. I had a great time by learning, clicking and tasting the stir fries. All the stir fry preparations were so good that it vanished from our plates in few seconds.
The 'Art of stir fry' class at High Ultra lounge was really helpful and I can't wait to try all these at home. We enjoyed these dishes with their in-house drink, Orange Slush. By the time we finished our culinary session it was almost sunset time and the view from High was so mesmerizing.
