Out for lunch at my favourite haunt Mahabelly. They have also started stocking @whiterhinobrewingco 🍻!!
Went for Rustom’s 2nd Anniversary ‘Greatest Hits Tasting Menu’ and absolutely loved it. Rush there tomorrow. Only available for lunch and dinner one more day!!
Top to bottom, left then right - Akoori (soft scrambled egg), utterly butterly delicious pav, Chicken Farcha (pan fried masala chicken), Eeda (egg) chutney pattice, supremely flavorful kheema samosa and Kolmi (prawn) kabab!
Main Course : Parsi roti, Vegetables in coconut milk gravy, bheeda (bhindi) in spiced yogurt gravy, Fish in sweet-sour gravy, kolmi (prawn) pulao.
Main Course (contd.): Shirazi Mutton pulao, Jardali Marghi (Chicken cooked with dried apricots) with salli (potato crisps).
Desserts : Caramel Custard, Lagnu (wedding) na custard and Mawa Cake. The simple Caramel Custard was just spot on with the right tinge of bitterness from the Caramel!

Perch Wine & Coffee Bar, Khan Market
Had these wonderful small bites at The Perch in Khan Market, along with a single estate Aeropress coffee.
At the top is Welsh Rarebits - a beer fermented cheese melted on a toast. It was just brilliant. At the bottom is Gougeres, a soft pastry, filled with wild mushroom pate. Would be going there again for a proper meal 😉

After tired of sifting through books all morning, this weekend we satisfied the meat cravings with some Afghan dishes.
We ordered the standard Mantu (Afghan momos in a yoghurt and lentil sauce) and Mutton Choppan kababs and explored new dishes like Afghan Fried Chicken and Meatball Kofta Qorma.
While the food was not bad, I prefer the Kabul Delhi restaurant right next door for both food and service!!
Came across a used book shop that had this book that was gifted to a Renee in 1968 and inside it was a handwritten recipe for Uncooked Chocolate Cake :)

Looks like it will be a morning well spent!!

The mutton #kebabs in this mezze platter were mind blowing. These so soft that they were breaking on touch. They were juicy and mildly spiced with condiments. Kebabs are best when the taste of the meat comes through and not just the spices it is soaked in.

Elma’s Brasserie, Meherchend Market
The first lunch in the new year was at Elma’s in Meherchend Market. We went there to have their special New Year’s Lunch menu, but ended up ordering a la carte, which turned out even better.
The highlight of the meal was Salmon fillet en croute (puff pastry).
The salmon was fatty (read tasty) and the puff pastry crust was perfectly crisp. The cranberry sauce and hollandaise sauce complemented the Salmon flavour well!
If you are fish person, then don’t miss this at Elma’s.

Merry Christmas folks!!
This deceptively simple looking dish is traditional Sri Lankan food - Kiribath (Coconut milk Rice) and Katta Sambal (dry tuna pounded with shallots, red chilli and lemon juice). If you are open to coconut milk and dry fish, then this is a must try. So yummy 😋!! Thanks to a cousin who is visiting us, we are getting to enjoy these!!
