Amazing Thai's Eid Goodies

Eid comes with its blessings in different forms. I got Eidi from Amazing Thai this year, and I was so glad I did! A cute basket filled with delicious Thai goodies, and even though I enjoyed them all, a few really stood out.

Let's share what was in the basket first:

1. Tom Yum Kung flavored Pretz, thin biscuits with a distinct salty, spicy and prawn flavor.
2. Then Pocky, banana and vanilla chocolate flavored thin biscuit sticks.
3. Coconut chips, which my mom and khala enjoyed more than I did,
4. An unbranded baggie of salty, sweet and sour tamarind which I shared with my mom because she really likes that stuff. I did too, but my throat would've had to pay the consequences had I eaten all of it *Shakes fist at tonsils*
5. Salty crispy peas which are absolutely delicious and I'm still munching on them.
6. A small bag of sunflower seeds which I loved sharing with my mom, khala and sister.

Out of all these, my favorites where the Banana and Vanilla Pocky, thin biscuit sticks covered with vanilla-banana chocolate, Pretz, delicious Tom Yum Kung flavored bread sticks, as thin as the Pocky but with a totally different flavor profile. The coconut chips were sweet, crisp, coconutty little strips of goodness. These 3 things I'll definitely be ordering again.

So if you want to have delightfully delicious snacks at your doorstep, give Amazing Thai a try!

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...

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...
