Whole Slice-The New King of Pizza

Here's a fun fact-Whole Slice is the brainchild of the Evergreen owners. Most people in Karachi who are into healthy eating know about Evergreen. Just like their Evergreen line, the owners created Whole Slice with the claim of making it the smart way of eating pizza, without compromising on quality. No surprise there, considering I loved the sandwiches, but didn't feel the Rs. 150 delivery charge justified the sandwich I tried (Blog here). Fun fact, I have to pay Rs. 100 delivery charges for Whole Slice as well. Is it worth the price? Read on to find out!

One evening I was craving a pizza, but wanted to try something new. Tapping into good ol' Google, I found Whole Slice, an app I simply needed to download and order my pizza through. Taking a risk since I wasn't too hangry, I went ahead and downloaded it. The app itself is easy to navigate, and has ten choices to take your pick from, including a 'Build Your Own' option, which is awesome for the particular pizza eater.

Since this was something new, kind of like Make Your Own Burger (MYOB) which opened and sadly closed a couple of years ago in Karachi, I customized my pizza with a whole wheat base, hot sauce, steak, mushrooms, onion and jalapenos. Once I filled in the details required, I placed my order and found it would take an hour for the pizza to be delivered. There were also delivery charges of Rs. 100 applied, which wasn't really a problem. I also got a notice that since I'm a first timer, I might get a call for directions. Ugh, fine.

To my pleasant surprise, my pizza arrived in forty minutes, freshly made, extremely hot and no call! Super efficient delivery service. I was probably more happy about not getting a call asking for directions than I was about the pizza itself. Accompanied with it was a small tub of the Whole Slice dipping sauce and red chili flakes.

Now, when I got the pizza, I was expecting one large slice because you know, Whole Slice is the name of the business, Instead of the 14th Street style pizza, I received a more traditional pizza pie because hello, who doesn't love a pizza pie rather than just one large slice? The pizza itself was absolute love. There was no smell from the steak, which was tender, flavorful morsels of meat, the mushrooms weren't of the canned variety (Hallelujah), and the toppings were generous and I got a little bit of everything in each bite. The base of the pizza pie wasn't oily, the sauce wasn't too hot, but definitely had a zing to it, and the dipping sauce was a butter, lemony, garlicky concoction that went perfectly  with the pizza. My only complaint is the sauce isn't enough for the entire pizza.

Since then, I have tried the Pepperoni, Chicken Fajita and given the build your own option another go. Each and every time the pizzas are absolutely scrumptious with their own flavor profile, and delivery has never been late. Also, I get to eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner the next day too!

So is the Rs. 100 for Whole Slice delivery worth it? Heck yaassssssss!

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...

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...

Getting Fancy at Pan'Ris

My friends and I were invited to Pan’Ris for dinner this evening, and minus a few issues which if addressed, can be a great new addition to the Aylanto-classed eateries.  We chose to sit out on the deck, as the weather is as we all know, beautiful during the evening. It’s a lovely place, with a staircase handy leading off it to the main entrance. I have to say, the place is beautifully done.  The order comprised of a Seafood Chowder, Red Snapper with Saffron Sauce, Grilled Lobster, Dijon Steak with a baked potato, and the Smoked Turkey Spaghetti which was originally in a creamy sauce, but they were kind enough to switch it a marinara sauce, as per my friend’s request. For dessert, we ordered the Bread and Butter Pudding and a Blueberry Cheesecake. Our server was polite, efficient at order taking and attentive without being obstructive. We were informed our food would arrive within 20-25 minutes.  The chowder arrived within 10-15 minutes, and during that i...
