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!

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...

Round Two at Dragonfly Kitchen

Before I had even gotten the food delivered from Dragonfly Kitchen the first time around, Farhan (Who has been supplying the delicious goodies and staying in constant contact from prep to delivery to tasting and then feedback), had promised a dip tray and panna cotta. So while Monday had been wraps and brownies day, the next day was dip tray day. Now this dip tray was fresh, delicious and the absolute perfect midday snack. The dip itself was blue cheesy goodness. Creamy, rich, but not overpowered by just blue cheese. Perhaps it was my taste buds, but there was a sour creamy feel to it, which Farhan reassured me he hadn't added, but wow. Whoever I gave a taste to, agreed that everything was fresh and tasted amazing. There were carrots, cucumbers and those crispy yummy flat bread pieces with nigella seeds strewn over them, adding another subtle flavor dimension.  The packaging was also done very well. The napkin tied in with every item sent was also a nice touch. Now b...

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...
