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!

Golden Dragonization

I’ve always loved desi Chinese food. I’ve been raised on desi Chinese food. The more sweetish side of things, with so many spices that one’s left wondering whether to eat or wipe one’s nose or eat one’s food. But oh, so good.  Thus, I convinced the family to order Golden Dragon tonight, even though they were most reluctant to order from a new place. Since my father and I are both allergic to ajino moto, we requested that no ajino moto be added in our food. Stuck to the basics, since it was my first time ordering. We ordered the hot and sour soup, hot and spicy wontons, crispy beef, hot and spicy chicken, chicken in oyster sauce, and vegetable fried rice. The first thing we got to open was the wontons. All the food was steaming, amazingly hot. Since Abu was in the kitchen with me, the first thing he did was make a face and say, ‘Aye hai! Steamed wontons hamaray matlab k thori hain.’ I took a bite, then forced him to take a bite. When I raised my eyebrows at him in quest...

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...

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...
