A fabulous new place on ECR, Chennai. Kai, a seafood store with a small restaurant attached is doling out brilliant seafood dishes with a variety of fish. Tuna, barracuda, scampi and prawns are some of the dishes I had. The Barracuda taco was the best follow…

The year of surprises!

As usual, I'm going to end the year with my top 10 dishes! This year each of those dishes surprised me so that's the common theme.

Since I've been trying to get back my quiz sticker that disappeared, we'll have to do this differently! And this year …

Well, that's the dessert from the brand new menu at Avartana, @itcgrandchola. Citrus coconut with coffee ice cream! Stunning, right? A menu that's been in the works for nearly 2 years!

#newplacealert Tiny new cafe (8 seater), aptly called Tuckaway, on the road behind Taj in Nungambakkam is doling out some lovely dishes. The Korean cream cheese bun was simply lovely! Cream cheese with loads of garlic and herbs. While in the cafe, they were trying out some f…

This vegan beauty!

Called the DK special, this is simply the best dessert I've had this year! Only after I finished I found out that it was vegan. With @callebautindia chocolate, non dairy cream and loads of love, @devakumar1435 the Exec Chef @hyattregencychennai has creat…

Wasn't really a fan of pre marinated meats till recently! Now I have to fight the temptation to pick them up. Rosemary chicken from @fipolaofficial is great as a snack or to roll inside a roti! I'm sure there are more creative ways to use them!

And now Fipola has an app …

While I'm a Margherita fanboy, this wood-fired pizza from @themadraspizzeria with chicken mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes was killer. 30 sec on the microwave and this light and amazing pizza was perfect for a Sunday! A delivery only brand available via Zomato and Swiggy

Iftar special from @sahibsbiryani! After cracking the premium biriyani space, Sahibs is now offering an iftar pack for 5 at Rs 1690! With a rotating menu, but the kanji remains. That's what I love about this. Instead of succumbing to the haleem fantasy, Sahibs retains Chenna…

My biggest discovery during the lockdown was how @amul_india is so much more than butter and milk and cheese. Especially love their Gold range of ice creams. Featured here is their Onion and Cheese paratha - simply heat to eat. With some curd and some fabulous home made pic…

Anyone knows what's the exact time for the perfect microwave popcorn? I found out yesterday. It is 2 mins and 9 seconds. Not even a SINGLE unpopped corn and not one burnt corn. Mine is a 800 watt MW. 😀

This time works for the awesome MW popcorn by @4700bcpopcorn that comes …
