Bengaluru, 6th May, 2022: In a one of a kind culinary showcases, Far & East will proudly host the team of Ministry of Crab, No35 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, spearheaded by celebrity Chef Darshan Munidasa for a two day pop-up. Gourmands of Bangalore will have a taste of a special 4 course, chef curated menu for the first time ever on the 11th and 12th May.

As an opening act, there will a special cocktail experience hosted by Stranger & Sons, India’s trailblazing London dry gin with accents of Indian spice and citrus notes, at Copitas, No 44, Asia’s 50 Best Bars. The event is in collaboration with The Soul Company.

“I’m excited to bring Ministry of Crab to Four Seasons and to share our magnificent crustaceans with the diners of Bangalore for the first time. With the flavours of Sri Lanka and fresh ingredients, we will add colour and authenticity to the already vibrant food ethos of Bangalore,” remarked Chef Munidasa.

The Menu that will be showcased at Far & East will have some recognisable favourites like Avocado and Crab Salad with steamed and chilled white meat of crab gently mixed in with wasabi mayonnaise and served inside an avocado and Garlic Chilli Prawn, a celebration of jumbo sized, specially farmed prawns, served with a traditional Sri Lankan Kade Bread. Since the island of Sri Lanka is revered for an abundant produce of pepper, better known as black gold, the Main Course will be the highlight. Diners can expect a wickedly spiced Pepper Crab served with Japanese Rice bursting with the flavours of hand-crushed peppercorn, whole peppercorn and pepper stock.

Ministry of Crab is a celebration of Sri Lanka’s abundant seafood, particularly her wonderfully succulent Mud Crab, commonly held to be the best in the world. Launched in December 2011, Ministry of Crab was the first of its kind, with Sri Lankan Mud Crab being the hero ingredient whereby for decades it had been more easily available internationally than in Sri Lanka itself.

Unique in its dedication to showcasing the best of Sri Lanka’s produce, Ministry of Crab transformed Colombo’s dining scene, and placed the island on the global culinary map. As a result the restaurant has been recognized as one of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants since 2015, currently ranked at currently positioned at No.35 on the 2022 list, received press coverage via

multiple international media outlets and has been invited to conduct pop up events across the globe.
