Indian Street Food Festival at 24/7 Restaurant at The Lalit Mumbai : Delicious Diaries

Thanks to FBAI for inviting to the superb Street Food Festival at 24/7 Restaurant at The Lalit, Mumbai, an experience to savor. Earthy ambiance with real Indian street-side stalls set up, from Delhi Chaats to Kolkata Chinese, from Rajasthan Pakode to Mumbai Pav Bhaji and Kheema and UP Mithais to end a spectacular meal. Everything from Chaats (splendid Dahi Puri) to Chowmein (greasy but not overly so), from Pakode (best for the rainy season) to Pav Bhaji (couldn't stop at 1 plate!) made authentic with real Indian flavors, bringing the best of India to our plates. The desserts especially, be it the piping hot Jalebis or Mathura ke Pede, Masala Milk choc a bloc with nuts and Kesar or spongy soft Rasgullas, are the crown jewel here and I recommend everyone fast for a day before coming here just for feasting on these!

Chef Aungshuman Chakraborty and his team have left no stone un-turned whether it be related to quality or quantity when it comes to promoting Indian treasure trove of recipes in this festival. Staff at The Lalit merit a special mention for their exquisite service ethics and personalized attention to every guest. The regular buffet which includes some amazing salads (such as watermelon with marinated cheese,a must have!), main course (the regular continental,Indian and oriental spread), pizzas, pastas and desserts ranging from pastries to ice creams is also something every foodie has to keep on top of their must check-out list. This is one of those rare places where every facet of a meal has been taken care of with perfection, be it the recipe, the service, the ambiance or even the value for money quotient. Mucho mucho recommended and I hope my pictures do justice to the same!

Magical Dining Experience A La Arabian Nights At Opa Bar & Cafe, The Peninsula Grand Hotel, Mumbai

Image
Already had a wonderful time at Peninsula restaurant at The Peninsula Grand Hotel in company of loved ones last month, so getting a chance to visit Opa Bar & Cafe for a review session with foodie friends was like a dream come true. The ambiance is amazing and crowd is classy. Colorful, vibrant and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in every way, this is one spacious place to chill out with friends and forget all stress of the day. Service is leisurely and prices are on higher side. Nothing matters when food and coffee here is excellent.  Yes, even though it is a bar and has superb drinks (I recommend Long Island Tea), coffee is unbelievably good. Ferrero Shake is also a must-have. Among food starters, Mushrooms on Toast, Bruschetta, Cottage Cheese Aglio Olio, Brie Fritters are very good. Mushrooms are creamy, Bruschetta is crispy refreshing, Cottage Cheese melt in mouth and Fritters so cheesy! In main course, Pasta in Pink Sauce was my favorite, not too heavy and full of flavor

Technology Diaries : 3D Printing Hub At TiME TO 3D, Future Is Now!

TiME to enter the future is NOW, TiME TO 3D, and HOW! While anybody who knows me knows how invested I am in looking at the world through my camera lens, once in a while something happens to make me look away from my camera, and look with awe. Nope, I haven't turned into a poet. Just had a life-changing experience at TiME TO 3D , a collaboration between Imaginarium (India's Largest 3D Printing Company) and Time Media Group ,situated in the heart of college-going crowd at Vile Parle, Mumbai. This is India's first of its kind hub that allows everyone and anyone to enter the stunning world of 3D Printing. All of this sounds great in theory. But these people truly believe in the concept and so even in practice, it is pretty fab :) Walk in like I did, with no knowledge at all and walk out amazed. What --> Printing is 2 dimensional, length and width. Add height i.e. the 3rd dimension (or call it depth) and there is the basic concept of 3D Print

Taftoon Bar & Kitchen BKC Mumbai : Delicious Diaries On Grand Trunk Culinary Tour

Image
Beautiful spacious abode of excellent dishes from legendary Grand Trunk route, binge on some dishes not available elsewhere, each one of them has extremely authentic taste (I have spent my childhood eating authentic Bengali, Bihari, UP, Punjabi food, so this was a beloved homecoming sort of feast)! Ambiance is elegant, the open kitchen rightly occupies center-stage, staff is polite and good at suggesting appropriate dishes as per one's tastebuds, service is fast and menu is vaaaaaaast with more than enough choices for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Each dish is succinctly explained in the menu and ingredients used are clearly top-notch. Loved and would recommend- -- Shatawari Aur Kalari- Grilled Kalari Cheese, Asparagus, crunchy, lip-smacking, --Moccchar Cutlet -Banana Flower cutlet,crispy,excellent with accompanying mustard sauce, -- Dahi Bhutteyan De Kebab -Dahi, Corn, Kebab, melt in mouth softness, enough said!  --Chatpatey Pa
