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!

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

Where Customers Aren't Wanted

So I've been writing reviews and blogs for a long time now. And never have I ever written a negative review for anyone because I firmly believe I don't have the right to hurt anyone's business. I have been so firm in this practice that I have often been labeled as a 'bought blogger', someone who is paid to write positive reviews (I wish! I wouldn't have to work 2 jobs then). This recent experience however, takes the cake. Literally! I have waited a week to write this review just so that I could recall it objectively and without that hot flush of anger that comes when a paying customer is disrespected by a home-based caterer. Now I'll be honest with you, there have of course been situations where the food is so unpalatable that I haven't been able to consume it, but I have spoken directly to the owners of the establishments and left it up to them to decide how to proceed further. There has even been a situation where a home-based baker actually forgot

Steak_CFU: Is the Hype Real?

Every so often, an eatery pops up and creates an immediate uproar with an influx of reviews on social media labeling it as God's gift to mankind. Steak_CFU has recently been just one such place, with a negative review facing passionate backlash of 'Haw hai, never ever is it possible for falana dhimkana cheez to happen at this blessed by the angels eatery, and I've been ten billion times already!' With bookings going on for a month in advance, and the eatery having survived for over 5 months, my curiosity was piqued enough to make my first visit at 6:30 p.m. which is more of a linner (lunch+dinner) time slot I detest unless I'm intermittent fasting for a friend's birthday dinner, and a reservation which I did not make.  As soon as we were served the menu, the charming Khurram Rasheed who is the man behind the food walked in to greet us, (At this point, I have a story to tell which I shall share after my steak experience) and I left the choice of flavor, steak
