The Hoagies Experience


This wasn’t my first visit to Hoagies and it definitely won’t be my last. Every single experience has been consistently well worth the very reasonable pricing. My last visit was just yesterday with a friend. We ordered the Original Hoagie, Dirty Hottie and Honkie fries. 

Now while I have had the hoagies before, the Honkie fries were a first. And oh my days, was it worth the wait. It made me regret not ordering them before. Crispy, curly fries, covered by a generous helping of stringy, hot mozzarella cheese, chunky sautéed onion strips, pitted and sliced black olives and a massive helping of juicy, tender beef strips. My friend and I completely demolished those.
 
The hoagies were made in my favorite brews, the jalapeño cheddar, which as the name suggests, is flavored with jalapeños and cheddar cheese. The bread itself is a treat all on its own with that brilliant dirty sauce, an original Hoagies recipe. Add to that bread and sauce tender beef strips filled with flavor, cheddar cheese, jalapeños and sautéed onions and there you have the Dirty Hottie. The Original Hoagie my friend absolutely enjoyed and I tasted. It was a milder, yet equally delicious version of The Dirty Hottie. I couldn’t decide which I liked better. 

Hoagies, a relatively new establishment only a few months old is deserving of all the praise it’s receiving and in my opinion, it’s consistent quality deliverance on its products is well worth the praise. I was told the owners have a few ideas for expanding their menu, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! Local businesses such as Hoagies with such a hard working team at the helm must be appreciated and promoted. Till we meet again Team Hoagies, I shall be dreaming of that divine dirty sauce *Omnomnom*

Meet the Chaza Queen of Karachi and proud owner of Juniper Kitchens, Shama! I had the absolute pleasure of being invited to her home for a lunch that left me in awe of the versatility found in Burmese cuisine. While Shama herself isn't Burmese, her ancestors have had a long-standing history with visiting Burma and adapting their local cuisine into their home. For those of you who don't know, Shama offers catering services and has a devoted clientele for her home-based catering services named Juniper Kitchens. I visited Shama's beautiful home with my friend Lailumah Shah , where we were welcomed with a refreshing hibiscus drink and an assortment of snacks including roasted and salted nuts, dried mango, and spicy tamarind. After a while, the table was laid with an assortment of salads, appetizers and entrees that was too much food for just 2 people. We started with the green tea leaf salad, a spicy mix of crunchy, nutty notes and the subtle fragrance of top tier green tea. I...

Round Two at Dragonfly Kitchen

Before I had even gotten the food delivered from Dragonfly Kitchen the first time around, Farhan (Who has been supplying the delicious goodies and staying in constant contact from prep to delivery to tasting and then feedback), had promised a dip tray and panna cotta. So while Monday had been wraps and brownies day, the next day was dip tray day. Now this dip tray was fresh, delicious and the absolute perfect midday snack. The dip itself was blue cheesy goodness. Creamy, rich, but not overpowered by just blue cheese. Perhaps it was my taste buds, but there was a sour creamy feel to it, which Farhan reassured me he hadn't added, but wow. Whoever I gave a taste to, agreed that everything was fresh and tasted amazing. There were carrots, cucumbers and those crispy yummy flat bread pieces with nigella seeds strewn over them, adding another subtle flavor dimension.  The packaging was also done very well. The napkin tied in with every item sent was also a nice touch. Now b...

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...
