There is a restaurant in Bombay called Swati, and I do declare they serve some of the best chaat I’ve ever had. I realize this is a heavy recommendation, but then again, I wouldn’t say it unless I completely stood by it, and I do! Those who know me well know I shy away from…
Pasta, tiramisu and cheesecake at Casa Mia
Walking around Leeds landed Dee Rawat and I at Casa Mia at Millennium Square. Actually, she said it was pink and purple therefore we absolutely had to go there. And as for me, I liked the view we had. Whether the colour was the reason we went there or the view, the food turned out…
Thai food at Siam Central
My friend took me to a Thai restaurant, Siam Central, which is on Charlotte Street and runs parallel to Tottenham Court Road. Centrally located (take the Northern line to Google Street or Central to Tottenham Court Road), it’s a small place that I normally might not have noticed. Absolutely loved the decór – typical bamboo…
Indulging at Shamiana, Taj Mahal Palace
When I’m in Bombay, I have to go to the Taj Hotel – it’s a ritual and my aunt always takes me. For the first time however, I did not go to The Sea Lounge, which is the only place I frequent there. Their chocolate truffle cakes are absolutely brilliant. This time though, my aunt…
Of puff pastries, stuffed vegetables and floating islands
Have I ever mentioned my French flatmate (now ex-flatmate sadly enough)? And have I mentioned she’s an amazing cook? Yes, I have! This broadcast (or blogpost; let’s not get picky) is here to tell you – yet again – that she is brilliant! For starters, there were vegetable puff pastries with fresh salad on the side….
Baked Chicken
Bread? Check. Cheese? Check. Chicken? Check. Mayonnaise? Check. An assortment of veggies? Check. Baked goodness? YES!!! *bows to applause* Note: this was the first time I EVER baked anything. Yes, please continue clapping 🙂
Rocky Road! Chocolate goodness! Marshmallows!
1 of 2 View Slideshow I shall not say anything, except that this was the Rocky Road with Marshmallow topping at the Interval Café and Bar at the Sheffield Student Union. I was most pleased.
Shake Club
Don’t be fooled by the outward appearance of a tiny establishment called “Shake Club” on Westfield Terrace, Sheffield. It’s one of its kind in Sheffield after all! It boasts over 101 different milkshake flavours that combine your favourite sweet/chocolate with all the goodness of milkshakes. I’d gone with two other friends, and between us we…
Butler’s Balti
I had been in Sheffield for almost a year and hadn’t been to Bulters Balti, which many people in halls assured me was not a very good idea. Apparently it served good Indian food. Which everyone here calls “curry”. I kid you not. So when someone in UK says, “Let’s go have curry”, they mean,…
Del’ Aziz
When I was in London, my friend and I picked a restaurant at random for lunch, which turned out to be the Middle-Eastern themed Del’ Aziz. A menu that showcased mouth-watering descriptions of Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean food, we were spoiled for choice. The decór was quite pleasing to the eye (but that’s probably…
