Aslam’s Butter Chicken

All the idea of restaurant hopping in the Matia Mahal area for Iftaar delicacies, went out of the window with this one dish at Aslam’s Butter Chicken. Whatay decadence of a dish!.

PS: Not exactly, we still squeezed in some Lassi, Rabri and Mango ice cream :)

Novelty Dairy & Stores, Delhi

Morning was stuff-your-face-with-Sandwiches kind of morning. We had gone to the legendary Novelty store in Jungpura. They make their own chicken and pork ham! Except for the burger, loved everything! And the cold coffee was👌!!

When the question is “Should we make Andhra’s Gongura Mutton or Kashmir’s Mutton Yakhni?”, the right answer is always “Why not both?!” 😜

Yum Yum Cha, Saket Select Citywalk

Tonight’s dinner at Yum Yum Cha.

The Sushi 🍣 was OK. The rice in the Sushi could have been more flavourful!

The soup and the meat in Cha Su Ramen were really good, but the noodle was an absolute let down. Felt like regular egg noddles were served!

The Piano Man Jazz Club

Mom’s birthday dinner last night was at The Piano Man. I was back there in a week for their pizzas. This time around we had a very full 3 course meal. We started with Pesto Chicken and Sundried Tomato Salad and Southern Fried Chicken Wings.

Moved on to the favourite Quatro Formaggi Pizza, Vietnamese Bahn-Mi, and Margarita Pizza.

And ended the meal with Lemon Grass & Kafir Lime Crème Brulée.

Except for the Bahn-Mi everything else was excellent!! Highly recommend the place.

Residence of the Ambassador of Netherlands, Delhi

Got a chance yesterday to participate in a lunch event at the Residence of the Ambassador of Netherlands. This devilishly simple looking 3 course meal was just perfect. My favourite was the first and the last course. The creaminess of the Avacado Mousse along with the tartness of grated tomato was just divine. The last dish was Panna Cotta. It was my first time and ranks easily among the best desserts I’ve had!

This building was at some point Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s residence and this was Jinnah’s study, where apparently the India-Pakistan partition was discussed. Presently this is the residence of the Ambassador of Netherlands.
