A ROYAL TREATMENT AT ROYAL CHINA- NEHRU PLACE.

This place is a personal favourite also because being a huge Chinese cuisine fan, no other place satisfies my taste buds the way Royal china does! 

A place with perfect ambience, view of the city, ( at the 16th floor) courteous staff and great drinks. It serves fusion of Chinese & Cantonese cuisine. Its a perfect place for a date, Sunday brunches & Pan- Asian Delicacies.

I visited this place last Sunday and hogged till I dropped! LITERALLY! Had no place for dessert which I truly regret trying since i am always left so full!

They have added a variety of dumplings to their new menu which are prepared with utmost perfection and taste delicious. They also do an unlimited dimsum brunch which I am sure would be A-mazing as well!

Things that I tasted & are recommended to all of you whenever you visit this place & hope it happens soon so you all can thank me for it 😛 

1. Chicken with vegetable dimsums – Absolutely beautiful looking, tasted even better. Soft, flavoursome & so tempting! 

1. Frilly prawn balls – OMG!! Absolutely hands down the best dish so far! Loved the crispness, the flavours, the crunch and the softness of the prawn inside. Deep fried and served hot. You would absolutely go bonkers trying this one out! A must try if you are a sea-food lover! 

1. Prawns in chilli oil & spring onions- Succulent, soft, marinated and prepared with right amount of spice. Extra gravy on the side to be used with fried rice or noodles. #yummy.

1. Flaming fish in superior sauce – This is one of their best sellers and is a must try. Served in chicken & prawn as well. This dish is placed on the table, then lit with fire ; to give a visual delight. It tastes incredible. Soft as cotton and the sauce so perfect that it works wonders.

1. Pan Fried vegetable noodles – Tasted smooth, the sauce was unexpectedly brilliant. The noodles were crisp unlike other restaurants that end up serving soggy ones instead of pan fried! 

A total delight for the eyes and tastebuds. You would love the food served here & literally drool over it. Classy and fine dining at its best!

Exclusive Preview of Capital Sunday Brunch at Pavilion 75.

Few dishes that appealed to my taste buds a lot and totally worth tasting were :

INDAIN APPETISERS (NON VEG) – Galouti kebab to mutton seekh, chicken tikka & fish tikka.. all of these tasted mind-blowing. Piping hot, marinated to perfection, soft as cotton and spices right on point. Absolutely Loved how the chef marinated and prepared each dish in the Indian Menu. 

A SPECIAL SUNDAE FOR THE LADY- The staff surprised me with a special Sundae (not included in the menu) that tasted AMAZING!! A rich sundae with brownie, vanilla ice-cream, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce topped with a chocolate donuts and churros! Mother of all Sundaes! Hands down. 

DESSERTS : Lost track of the amount of desserts that were part of the menu since there were so many. From red velvet pastry to jalebis to chocolate fudge cake to rasmalai to donuts, churros, fruit cocktail, pudding, swiss roll and so much more! A bit of all and you would be in heaven. 

This brunch was a total paise vasool! And I am already planning another trip here soon after new years! Try it out for yourself and I am sure your experience would be as amazing as mine.

Wendy’s = <3

Wendy’s is an American international fast food restaurant chain founded by Dave Thomas. It is known to be the third largest burger chain in the world. Since Indian food market is expanding gloriously, top leading companies and brands are willing to be a part of this market. One of them is Wendy’s. It has two outlets for now. One at Sohna road, Haryana and other in Gurgaon, Haryana. 

I had gotten an opportunity of visiting Wendy’s and have a complete experience of how it operates; Kitchen, storage, working space and so on. 

We were given a quick introduction of how Wendy’s has been operating over the years and how it works here in India. We then had a look at the menu and the amount of variety they serve is, pretty good! From Bacon to Aloo tikki to Mutton, chicken patties – you name it and they have it.. They have a good range of burgers and fries and side dishes also fruittails( mocktails), clearly standing strong from the rest of its competitors. 

BEHIND THE SCENES

Being a foodie it was a dream come true for me to see how everything really works. How the buns are warmed up, how the patties are grilled or fried. The high-tech machines inside,how everything is stored up, the amount of cleanliness to be maintained by the workers and how the space is sustained.  Everything seemed so organised, easy to work with that I felt, soon I could be trained to be a fellow Wendy-er too! 😛 Also it feels great to see that the amount of inspection the manager keeps overall, so as to what we eat( guests/ customers) is safe and sanitised. 

 

I had a gala time interacting with the staff, helping them in preparing burgers and guess what? I prepared a Chicken burger in their kitchen all by myself ( with a little supervision though :P) and it felt so nice!! 

Wendy’s should surely be the place to visit next! The ambience all together is beautiful, much better than any other burger joints. They have an excellent menu prepared for all meat and vegetable lovers. They work closley to ensure the hygiene level of the food they serve. All departments are divided precisely. 

TASTING SESSION !! 

I ended up ordering a range of dishes. From double baconator burger to Ultimate mutton, Masala fries, spicy aloo crunch, classic chicken, chicken chilli and cherry cola fruit tails. 

WHAT STOOD OUT? 

DOUBLE BACONATOR : The quality of bread was superb. Soft and moist, with two chicken patties- tender and juicy, including strips of bacon on it that ended up being the cherry on the top. Overall yummy, a little heavy and surely a go-getter. 

ULTIMATE MUTTON- This one was my favourite out of all. The patty was so juicy, tender and lip smacking. The mutton was not at all chew. The marination of the patty was done brilliantly and grilled to perfection. Good amount of veggies and pickles inside as a filling. 

MASALA FRIES- OOOH! So spicy! loved them. Warm, crisp and served beautifully in a bowl. Masala tasted yum much- much better than the ones I have tasted in some other joints.

CHICKEN CHILLI- Prepared out of red beans, a little on the spicier side but since I am ok with spices I totally loved it. Gave this Mexican feel to me, served with rice.. a closer copy to what you can say is ‘rajma chawal’ but with an american touch to it. Beautiful preparation. 

The burgers overall are worth trying, bored of round burgers? Head over to Wendy’s they serve square burgers!! 😀

Some of the highlights of Wendy’s:

Ø  Co working space

Ø  Deliver on your table

Ø  Unlimited tea and coffee refill

Ø  Pricing – A little higher than the other burger joints but totally worth it. 

Ø  Free Wi-Fi

Ø  Music – they play Coke Studio 90% of the time, mixed with English music sometimes

Ø  Square Burgers

Ø  Food is served in proper cutlery

Ø  They don’t serve mustard and ketchup with the burger because the burgers are made with sauces, want the customers to relish the taste

Ø  Restaurant interiors  

A place to visit and to be enjoyed with loved ones, friends. A good range of food variety, not very expensive. Welcoming staff with great ambience.

DIMSUM FESTIVAL AT ASIA7

A lot of restaurants have started considering Dimsums as a vital part of chinese, japanese cuisine now in India. Pan Asian food has also gained a lot of good reviews and slowly we can see that people’s taste buds are changing/ evolving over time and they are happily trying out and exploring new things in terms of food and cuisine. 

Dimsum festival has been the new ‘it’ thing in town and  was extremely thrilled when I was invited for my first dimsum festival at ASIA7. 

MY EXPERIENCE ? 

Looking for the best dimsums in town? SUCCULENT AND FLAVOURFUL? Check this place out- Asia seven located in Ambience mall, Gurgaon. They have a Handful of variety in these bite sized delights. From steamed veg-non veg dimsums to Pan fried and Bao dimsums. You Name it and they have it!!

The restaurant staff was very welcoming and the decor is done up beautifully. Gives an authentic Chinese feel to it and will hook you to this place with in a short period of time. 

We tried out a variety of dimsums and most of them were  delicious and cooked to PERFECTION. Mouth watering at first glance, these dimsums made my day!

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE. 

PRAWNS SPINACH ROLL 

LORD!! *mouth waters* Tender and juicy prawns rolled inside a thin layer of spinach that gave an extra crisp to it dipped in this amazingly tasty sauce that made it even more relishing. A MUST TRY. 

PAN FRIED CHICKEN 

These somehow stood out from all the rest since it was pan fried the coating on the outside tasted better and crisp. Also it wasn’t soggy like how dimsums generally are. Tasted perfect. Spiced perfectly and well balanced. 

Do not miss out your chance at experiencing this beautiful and delicious festival. Go and see for yourself what a treat this place is! 🙂

DEPOT 29

This place was unexpectedly really good. Had been hearing alot about it from everyone and thought of trying it out. I think its a place that every college going student would love. With friends, to chill for some time and have a great time over some delish waffles!!

Since I went only for a bit I ordered a few things. The staff was courteous and suggested alot of things to try out. 

First came their in house bread with salsa. It was complimentary and it tasted amazing. Crunchy, crackle like. And I think something everyone should keep in their menu and big change from all the heavy – meal-ed restaurants in town. 

Next came the virgin mojito that was perfect. They nailed it. 

We then ordered some waffles and fries. The fries were served beautiful, their presentation no doubt is too cool. With small little beakers of mayo and sauce. Fries were crisp, warm and a favourite.

 Last we ordered was the chocolate and wild-berry waffle . It was recommended my d staff and woah. This was delicious. Im glad I asked them cause I was on cloud 9. They really know how to cook goood waffles. This ones a must try if you are a waffle lover and also they again nailed the presentation.

All in all a place you all should visit to just relax and enjoy. I’ll be visiting soon again to try out the rest of the things.

One of the leading brands of healthy food and breakfast cereals in India. Recieved a bag full of the most nutiritous products from them .My motto for this year was to stay fit and remain healthy. By trying out Bagrry’s I really feel I am one step ahead.

WHITE OATS

CRUNCHY MUESLI –  Almonds, rasins and honey

Something that is a dessert yet healthy, a meal for breakfast, something to go along with lunch and dinner. To show the my followers how you could create so many innovational things out of these products.

 And I also decided to share the recipes with you so you could order your Bagrry’s product and make something yummylicious and yet healthy.

‘BOMB’AYKERY !

The name says it all ‘BOMB’. This quirky little place is a hidden gem and I wonder Why did I not put my hands on these yummylicious beauties before. 

With just the first delievery it has become my personal favourite. Its this magical place for all dessert lover. They have this elegant touch to their whole brand. From the packaging to the desserts. All of them taste so good that it Is hard to realise that this is available in Delhi 😀 

They have a huge range of desserts and trust me you will face a really hard time choosing what to relish. 

I tasted the Belgian chocolate mousse dome and Hazel Nut Krispy Crunch chocolate pyramid that hands down tasted heavenly. These pretty looking delight was not only appealing for the eyes but the taste was MIND-BLOWING. 

Other things that I tasted apart from the delicious cupcakes and cheesecakes that were presented in such a cute way, they have some other delicious savouries like the CHEESE STICKS. These are something out of the blue. With sesame on it, they tasted the best out of everything. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 

The brownie and the chocolate chunk cookies were amaze-balls! The were soft, crunchy with the right amount of sweetness. Believe me I ended up making a Brownie cookie shake out of these beauties which ended up tasting like worlds best Milk shake. The macarons that came along were crisp, and light-as-a-feather. And If you are a Macaron lover, Leave everything and run to this place. 

All in all this place is a must visit. Trust me you won’t be disappointed .They have this uniqueness to them and you will see or feel it once you try them. A place that will leave you with a smile on your face.. 

FOR NOW LET THE PHOTOGRAPHS TALK 😀

 

 YOU CAN FIND THEM IN GURGAON AND GK.

HAPPY HAKKA :D

The name really suits what they are serving!! “Happy Hakka” !! This cuisine really makes one happy. Staying in Delhi, a lot of food joints have started opening that are focusing not only on the ambience but also the quality of food. 

Happy Hakka got delivered at home with so much love. You can see with their packaging how much efforts they are taking in making their customers happy and content. 

They serve authentic chinese food. A thing that I have noticed around Delhi is that its really hard to find a good chinese restuarant. I mean there was a time 5-6 years back where we could locate some really good chinese food in affordable prices. Now, the scenario has changed. A lot of them have come up but are unable to maintain the quality or the Indian touch to it. Focusing only on the brand name and forgetting everything is else is something which is a major concern. 

A few restaurants have started coming up which have started serving some decent and tasty food. One of them is Happy Hakka. The condiments come in small little bottles that looked so adorable along with the cutlery 

WHAT WAS DELIVERED : 

CRUNCHY MUNCHY SPRING ROLLS- They tasted yum. Crisp- crackly skin with tender crisp vegetables on the inside. 

KHAO SUEY WITH RICE- This tasted DELICIOUS. It had an exceptional taste to it, have not tasted a better one in Delhi. By adding the chilly garlic paste it tasted even better. Perfect meal to order and a must must try. 

HAKKA NOODLES- You never go wrong when it comes to Hakka noodles. And surely Happy Hakka did not. They had that smokey flavour in them which made it and out fro the rest. 

CHILLI CHICKEN BITES- My personal favourite out of lot. It was a dry dish with chunks of chicken pieces. so soft, tender, juicy and full of flavour and spicy. *mouth waters*

SUI MUI CHICKEN- This was in the form of momos that were delicious. Became a little soggy but I guess thats because of the delivery

HAPPY HOT GARLIC-  This was spicy, quantity was good, had chunky pieces of well cooked vegetables. Flavoursome and finger licking good. 

There delivery is fast, food is pipping hot when it reaches home. Everything that I tasted was YUMMY. Their portions are decent enough. They take a lot of effort to make their customers “HAPPY”.

#NEWINTOWN INSTAA PIZZAA!!!

When the word pizza comes to mind, all you can think about is cheese, toppings and crust! And if I tell you that Delhi has added another gem in its pocket, I am being honest! KEEP READING. 

INSTA PIZZA!! SAY WHAAA? 

This place is a hidden gem located in Kalkaji and Gurgaon. A place with funk, colours and guess what comics! The whole theme about this place is to make you feel at home and deliver you with the best pizzas along with bringing back your childhood memories by keeping a reading stack of The famous ARCHIES comics along with so many others that will just put a smile on your face. 

A YES OR NO TO INSTA PIZZA? 

HANDS DOWN, YES!!  This place offers UNLIMITED TOPPINGS with No extra charge on your pizzas.Which till date no other place offers. YOU can customise it the way you want too! They offer Thick and New-york style crust.The dough is unique and not at all compromised on. They make it in house and cold ferment it for 72 HOURS. WOAH which makes it mouth melting !! :O 

These hard working people behind such a lovely place and food 😀

This Lasagna was heavenly. Loaded with cheese, meat, tomatoes, zucchini and bechamel this was better than any other lasagna I have tasted in a very long time. Mouth melting and so delicious. This surely won’t stop your hands from digging.

People get very attached to their specific restaurant parlours when it comes to pizza. No one really wants to experiment, but Insta pizza is something you all should really try if staying in New Delhi. This is one of their classics. Amazingly good this garlic, chili and chicken chorizo is a MUST TRY in New york style crust. Hopshophog recommends this. (jalapenos added as extra topping) 

Now this has been included in my favourite list. I have always been a hot dog fan. This was something which has finally fulfilled my cravings!! THIS IS CALLED THE PIZZA DOG. Rolled in the same dough as Garlic twists with sausage inside accompanied with delicious dip.

For all you healthy freaks out there. This is what you should order. Finally this concept has been brought to India by Insta pizza. This is MARINARA PIZZA. Pizza without cheese. Alot of people crave pizzas but dislike the cheese or some are allergic to cheese. This is what a pizza without cheese is. with just the classic sauce and confit garlic chilli flakes. Somehow I found this really good too. I think I am becoming a crazzyy fan of this place. 

BEST IS YET TO COME.  

Its a true saying when you read the above line. Especially if you visit this place!!! BEST? Understatement. INSANE is the right word!! And that is ; 

THE MONSTER DEEP DISH PIZZA!! ❤ 

Insta pizza is the only place that serves the classic Chicago style deep dish. First comes a layer of crust. In between comes all the toppings and the cheese. Once thats done its covered with layer of dough. On top of this you’ll find their unique sauce and your asking meat topping!*DROOLS*

This monster deep dish pizza is over 1” thick and weighs about 1Kilo, which comes in two sizes!! Crazy right?! This is really a dream come true. You will not be disappointed when you taste this beast!! ❤

Do not miss out on this place. It is located in Kalkaji and Gurgaon and surely this a place that should top your list. Go and enjoy your scrumptious meal at this beautiful place.

DREAM BIG. XOXO
