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!

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...

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...

Mandi House, Grand Launch

I'll be real with you. I have actually never really been fond of mandi. Pulao with tender meat pieces is something I was born eating. I didn't understand the fuss about it. You know how different food fads have trended wherever you live? Chinese, Pan Asian, burgers, Continental cuisines area all different from the local palate. Pulao aur boti toh mai ghar pe bhi kha sakti hun. So I never got on to the mandi house fad. And the servings at these places are huge, bordering on wasteful. I wasn't going to go there with just one or two friends to eat mandi. No Sirree Bob. Mandis are meant for at least 3-5 people to enjoy, depending on hunger levels. Recently I was invited to the grand launch of the new Mandi House on main Shaheed-e-Millat's now populated restaurant strip. The place was easy to find since it's so prominently visible from the main road. The restaurant itself is made really well, with a waiting area and seating space on both floors. Options for dining in ...
