When Delivery Matters More!


This post is less about food and more about a food delivery service known as Food Genie. With some trepidation because my luck with food delivery services has been pretty unstable, and with my haungry pangs if something wrong happened, I would've been miserable. 

Now what I craved was OMG. So it was quite convening that when I went to order on the Food Genie website, OMG was right there at the bottom of the page. So convenient. The order process was painless, convenient and promised timely delivery within the hour (Yaaassss).

Along with the Aged English Cheddar and fries, I also ordered an extra side of Chipotle because oddly enough, I was craving it. After I proceeded to checkout and signed up, I not only got a verification code for my order, I also got both email and text messages throughout the process, informing me that my order had been placed, would be delivered promptly, and also ready for delivery. Never once did I have to take a delivery phone call, which is what online orders are all about. 

Even better? The order was placed at 9:25 and was delivered at 9:50. The food was as hot as if I had gone to pick up the food myself, showing how well thought out the entire delivery process is, including the delivery box. 

Needless to say, OMG more than lived up to expectations via delivery. It was delicious and beautifully done. No complaints there.

Ladies and gentlemen, every other delivery portal in Karachi can take a backseat way, way, waaayyyyy at the back of the class. Because Food Genie has outclassed them all!
Now my only hope is they stay that way!

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...
