Evergreen Sandwiches - Healthy & Delcious!

I had read many rave reviews about Evergreen’s sandwiches and was tempted to try them. So off I went to order via Urbanite. Since my office is at Chundrigar and Evergreen at Khayaban-e-Rahat, I had to pay Rs. 150 delivery charges, bringing the Rs. 380 sandwich to a whopping Rs. 530.

It was love at first sight with the packaging. I don’t think anyone has packaging quite like Evergreen’s. It was like a present, especially in my haungry (Hungry+angry) state.

The gluttonous part of me was a bit sad to see no extras or sauce when I first opened the box, but the burst of fresh flavors, the particular saltiness of hoisin sauce, and the juicy tenderness of the chicken was an unexpected delight to eat.

However, with the extra 150 rupees delivery charges, I would probably not order from Evergreen at work. As refreshing, delightful and different it was, I’m not ordering just a sandwich for Rs. 530. I will however, be a regular of their salads and sandwiches if I pick them up from Agha’s or have them delivered at home. I loved the flavors and textures of the sandwich at lunch today.

Almost a Year Later at RAK's Table

Hello darkness, my old friend! While I know that blogposts aren't exactly the preferred social media communication method nowadays, something keeps pulling me back to this baby of mine that I can't seem to let go of, even though last I posted was September 4, 2024. I also feel like this particular culinary experience of mind deserved a blogpost of its own, it was THAT good! It wasn't just the food, but the company with which I enjoyed each morsel, which came about thanks to my foodie friend Sadia Safdar, who kindly thought of me when Rida Alam Khan, head chef at Yazu and RAK's Table requested a taste-testing of some choice dishes from her yet-to-be-opened restaurant. The panel consisted of OG food lovers, not just bloggers, but people who genuinely have a passion for food and can taste the nuanced notes and secret ingredients in perfectly crafted recipes. Considering I had never been to Yazu, I was quite impressed by the entrance, very tasteful, just like the food as...

Forty4 Obsessed

What can I say? I love Forty4. And why wouldn’t I when the team, from Aman to the chefs, are willing to go out of their way to recreate an item no longer available on their menu? I had been craving Kampong rice from Forty4 and mentioned it to Aman the last se last time I visited. When I called to make reservations the other day, Aman was kind enough to call me back because he remembered my craving! He then went to trouble to check with the kitchen and then texted me a confirmation that one of my favorite yummies will be ready for me! And that’s not all. Once I was served my requested dinner, he came by to ask if it was the same as I remembered it. And yes, it was! I had already been told jasmine rice is no longer stocked, which had originally been used, and I was perfectly happy just the same. I mean, puri zindagi wohi chaawal khaye hain na? Ab ziada hi-fi honay ki zaroorat nahin hai, ‘kay? Although I was tempted to polish off my entire meal, there was an event I w...

Amazing Thai - For the Love of Ramen

Disclaimer: A friend sent me this ramen to try, so I didn't pay for it, but my opinion is as honest as it always is. Okay, I have to admit. I'm a sucker for packaged, unhealthy, and sinfully delicious ramen. So when my friend Omer, husband of the very famous Eman's Cakes (A blog is up on that already, by the way) told me he wanted to send over authentic Thai ramen to me, imported from Thailand, was I going to say no? Of course not! What arrived at my doorstep was this: Of course, there was no sign of English anywhere on this, but packaged ramen aren't that hard to follow through with. So out came the ramen itself into the bowl, along with the shrimp flavored powder, the spicy sauce that makes everything come together and a guesstimate of the water I wanted. What I ended up after nuking it for 2 minutes was this: This was soupy, spicy, not particularly strong in shrimp taste, probably because I added way too much water, but that's how I like it, 2 me...
