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!

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...
