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!

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...
