Dragonfly Kitchen - The Healthy Chundrigar Lifestyle

When I got to know there's a healthy food option opening on Chundrigar, where I spend the most of my waking hours thanks to my lovely job *Ahem* I was more than delighted to give it a go (Thank you, Fahad!)
When I got the call from Farhan, the owner of Dragonfly Kitchen, it was a pleasure to speak to him. Turns out he developed the recipes and bakes those amazing morsels from heaven itself. But I digress. As you can tell from the pictures, the helpings of the 'samples' were enough to feed six people. The wraps themselves were amazing in taste and texture. Starting from the wrap itself, which was soft and almost but not quite, thin as a crepe, and yet held together all the ingredients in the wrap, to the vegetables and sauces which were incredibly fresh, every mouthful was a delight.
The chicken wrap, called the Habibi Wrap and with good reason because that wrap is just love and perfect for meat lovers, with cucumber, olives, feta cheese, tomatoes and bell peppers. The Tree Hugger Wrap (I'm loving the names) was a pure vegetarian wrap, and Dragonfly Kitchen was kind enough to give me a variation of blue cheese and a vinaigrette. Both were full on in terms of flavor, and I could understand the low sodium content in a healthy wrap because the salt came from the blue cheese, which I have to say was brilliant. It really came through amidst the fresh coriander, bell peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers and can I just say I loved the slight sweetness from the green apples?
I'm saving the best for last. Those delicious, divine, gooey, sweet brownies. It was love. It was decadence, and it felt so good to eat something like that after something so healthy! They were just the way brownies should be, not like cookies or cakes. And for someone who loves dark chocolate and doesn't like anything overtly sweet, these brownies were the perfect end to a perfect meal. Did I mention the samples were full sized meals enough to feed 6 people?
Before I go, here is a link to their Facebook page (You're welcome) and pictures of how pretty the packaging is. If you spend most of your time on Chundrigar or thereabouts like I do (I'm so sorry), do give Dragonfly Kitchen a chance. There's something for everyone!

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...

Getting Fancy at Pan'Ris

My friends and I were invited to Pan’Ris for dinner this evening, and minus a few issues which if addressed, can be a great new addition to the Aylanto-classed eateries.  We chose to sit out on the deck, as the weather is as we all know, beautiful during the evening. It’s a lovely place, with a staircase handy leading off it to the main entrance. I have to say, the place is beautifully done.  The order comprised of a Seafood Chowder, Red Snapper with Saffron Sauce, Grilled Lobster, Dijon Steak with a baked potato, and the Smoked Turkey Spaghetti which was originally in a creamy sauce, but they were kind enough to switch it a marinara sauce, as per my friend’s request. For dessert, we ordered the Bread and Butter Pudding and a Blueberry Cheesecake. Our server was polite, efficient at order taking and attentive without being obstructive. We were informed our food would arrive within 20-25 minutes.  The chowder arrived within 10-15 minutes, and during that i...
