New kiddoes in my block

The last two months saw my craving for sugar going down drastically for reasons quite unknown to me as yet. But that really doesnt mean that I like doing away with my favourite cookies.

In the past couple of years, I have taken a fascination for Choco-chip and butter-chip cookies from Cookieman. And despite its retail outlet being available in Delhi suburbs, I prefer to order them straight from Bangalore, yes, cos vinnie gets hyper each time I ask her to get some for me, as its on the farthest end of the city she prefers to live in now. I like to tease her to deal with it as a payback for the numerous chores she expects me to do (each time anyones visiting her) in a span of 2-3 days from one corner of the city to the other while keeping my sanity intact zillion number of times!!

Now the point being, I had this huge box of these cookies which I got in mid-june and another set of assorted cookies end-june. I know you still must be wondering the reason for specifying the time. Well if you have been with me, you would remember me talking about my sugar craving going down, which basically means I have not been eating much of these cookies. And I was shocked today to find just one single, yes one and only one cookie remaining. You still wondering? How could you forget the other two kiddoes at my place besides me (Just a polite reminder that I am the YOUNGEST!!) who we fondly call MOM AND DAD.

Where has the breakfast gone?

I remember my childhood days (and before you get started, let me clear the air, they arent that far away in history) and how breakfast was not something that required a special mention. It was there. Like any other normal routine. Be it stuffed paranthas, maggi, chole bhature, grilled sandwiches, egg or whatever. It was there. No issues.

Then came a period of ‘Mom what’s for breakfast?’ when paranthas became oily, maggi’s new taste-maker was developed and that option went out of the window as well, chole bhature were fattening. There were hardly a few options left for ‘breakfast’.

And now I hardly eat breakfast. Breakfast is an event. I am asked by friends or colleagues ‘breakfast kiya kya?‘

I went to this chinese restraunt on friday with great expectations only to be highly disappointed with their service. And yeah, the food didnt taste any great either.

Well, the beginning itself was a reflection of what was instore for us for lunch. We had ordered for drinks and the waiter did arrive with the right ones, but brought them in his hands. Seems like they just ran out of trays. Moving further, we had to remind them 3 times for a drink that we ordered again. Such well known restraunt and they didnt give us napkins, but cheap tissue papers. This was a complete put off for me.

Humungous taste palette

I admit. I am a true punjabi.

I accept nothing below good, tasty, well prepared, aromatic, spicey, D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S food.

I so wish to have nicely made burra kababs, chicken tikka, butter naan and some curry right now.

Aah…So much for being blessed with good taste buds.

I just decided to give my mini reviews about the restaurants I visit frequently and their speciality to help others pick and choose places for eating out in delhi.

This time I went to Flavours.

Flavours is located right next to the Moolchand flyover near Defence Colony. It specialises in Italian food and I believe that their speciality is their special brick / clay oven that they use to bake amazing variety of Pizzzzaz.
