NYC Love

Going with a friend for a meeting regarding work, I couldn't think of a better place than NYC to enjoy a cup of coffee and cake in the evening. Before the cake, I of course wanted something savory and spicy to nibble on, but because I couldn't decide between the wings and the mozzarella sticks, we went for the sampler platter. 
And what a good choice it was! It had everything from the aforementioned wings to mini burgers, chicken tenders and fried onion rings, It was served with barbecue, honey mustard, blue cheese & buffalo sauce.
I won't lie about it. I ate everything with the buffalo sauce. My friend ordered another serving of honey mustard but had to stop himself from ordering a third because we were about to have cheesecake. NYC is one of those comfortable places where the staff will be at a comfortable distance and will also give you privacy. With the expanse of space available, they will never push you to leave the premise when they see you're done eating. 
I digress, however. The sampler platter was delicious. Absolutely delicious. If I had to pick 2 things that I loved, they would have to be the onion rings and the wings.  The coffee and cheesecake can never go wrong at NYC and is excellent for giving me my cheesecake fix. This time however, I felt the crust was a little soggy. Other than that, the flavor was brilliant. 
Everyone needs to go to NYC to eat the sampler platter and cheesecake!

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...

Cilantro

Just the family wanted to eat out tonight. Nothing too fancy, yet nothing too casual, either. Ended up at the recently opened Cilantro, a hop, skip and a jump away from Pane and Amore (Love). Although I was a bit skeptical about trying out a new place, and that too because my dad read a review in this Sunday’s DAWN (I was like, Abu, really? You want to try out a new place because of a newspaper ka review? Kisi se puch toh lein!). Khair, my Abu being my Abu, insisted we go there, so with some trepidation, I did. Little did I know, that I was entering a fun, colorful little joint with one wall filled with chefs from all over the world. Is it weird I knew half of them? And if the owners of Cilantro read this, please add Marco Pierre White’s picture to the wall. Blasphemous he’s not there. Thank you.  On to the food. It’s very rare when every single person likes and enjoys what they ordered. Now, if you know me, you know I tend to never, ever remember the proper names of things e...
