Butterup-Karachi's New Bread Boss

 What's up, butter(c)up? Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun. I'm going to be honest, this new breadtastic venture has been initiated by a friend of mine, which is exactly why my feedback was more critical than others, because I truly believe that honest and positive feedback is what makes a venture succeed. If I were to wax eloquent about everything and set up extremely high expectations, the business would fail faster than you can say 'oopsie'. 

Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, let's get to the bread. There was a variety of breads sent to me, all of which were pretty darn good. The butter bun was pillowy soft, the kind you would eat with softened butter for breakfast. The French bread was just the way it should be, perfect for garlic bread or crostini. Then there was the multi seed bread, which I suppose is the Farmer's Bread on the menu. It was nutty and firm, and would go perfectly with stronger flavors and serve well for dips and cheese as well. The onion bread is not for the faint-hearted, it has a flavor profile of its own and doesn't require any butter or jam. I saved the best bread for last, and that is the sourdough. Finally a sourdough bread that tastes like it should! The texture was pretty on point too. However, as it goes with fresh breads, they can't be preserved for too long and must be eaten within three to four days. The bread to go off first was sadly the onion bread, so before the others went the same route, I shared it with a friend who polished all of them off within 24 hours. 

Along with the breads came the spreads. My favorite was the Chilli Caramel, which spread beautifully on the multi seed and sourdough, followed by the Spinach Butter that had a nice spicy kick to it. The Aussie Beef Butter (Yes, I know the label had it spelled wrong, but it's okay) was actually best at room temperature. However, both butters spread smoothly even after being refrigerated, but I definitely preferred them at room temperature. 

All in all, this new venture has massive potential and with their price points I can definitely see them capturing all of our carb loving hearts. Butterup is what every bread lover's dreams are made of!

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...
