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!

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 ...

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...
