The Crazy Food Lady

I recall when Evergreen was first opened in Karachi. It was delivery-based only with the most delicious, healthy sandwiches I had ever eaten. Since the product was a premium one, the prices naturally matched the quality and I preferred not to pay that price. I did review it though, so you can check out my review of Evergreen from 2015  here .  When Evergreen opened its doors as an eatery to Karachi, I fell in love with the variety of food apart from the sandwiches all over again. That love was rekindled with a recent visit and the chance I took with the Salmon Poke Bowl. It was exquisite. There are no other words to describe the taste. Brown rice is layered at the bottom, with purple cabbage, spring onions,thin cucumber slices, coriander and fresh salmon filling the bowl, and all of this topped with japanese mayo and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The vinaigrette is served in a small ramekin, I suppose to retain the crunch of the vegetables and to avoid being soaked up complete

Visited Baraf Pani, opened by Nauras with a true slush fan, Sadia Safdar. This massive bottle of different flavored slushies is priced at a whopping 280 rupees, and definitely can’t be finished by just one person. It's a small takeaway shop, with bright colors and their slush machines churning out sweet goodness. The different flavors available are orange, summer mix (Strawberry and mango), blueberry, ice cream soda, grape, and a sugar-free option is available as well. We tried the individual offerings first, and thought the grape slush stood out the most. Blueberry was the least preferred as it was just too sweet and had a very strong artificial blueberry flavor. Mix all of these flavors together, and I guarantee your sweet tooth is sorted for a month. Cooling, refreshing, but definitely heavy on the pocket. A brain freezing treat indeed. Sadia and I gave this an 8 out of 10. Overall, the evening was fun, spent with good food and good people. I would recommend visiting both

Hanging out with my friend, and trying out new food is the perfect way for the devil to prepare for re-entering society. We wanted to see for ourselves whether the establishment deserved the bashing it’s been getting lately, so off we went to The Melt. Happy to report, it’s more of a mountain out of a molehill situation.  The place while emulating the quick service, wavy fries, and smash patty style burger is basically where it stops being Shake Shackish, just to let you guys know, I’m not a fan of Shake Shack, and neither is Sadia. I found this local burger to have more flavor than the international brand. The burgers were made and served in 4 minutes, and that definitely is impressive.  The Melt was recommended, a double patty burger served with raclette cheese, and I forget the name of the second burger, but it was London-something burger, both beef. They do have chicken options and sides. The menu has the prices listed in AED, which I didn’t understand, but unka menu, unki
