  • A Hot Cup of Hoshino Coffee

    Opening the door to this cafe was like opening the wardrobe in “The Chronicles of Narnia”. It led us to a different world altogether – one that is charming, magical and redolent with the aroma of roasted coffee beans.

  • Coffee Around the Corner

    The charm of Osaka lies in the smiles of people. They accommodate you as one of their favourite guests and lets you settle in comfortably. Its like getting that cup of coffee you want and also getting it topped with that whipped cream.

  • The Feel Green Factor

    As I sat there it seemed the plants had grown and is holding me in an embrace. It is an embrace that makes me feel green. Nowadays I tell others that I need to feel green and step out to sit amidst the plants.

  • The Coffee Brown Shade of Joy

    I spoke to many friends and learnt about the different brands available for filter coffee, from ones homemade to the commercially popular ones. Finally the discussion became fruitful and the solution to my problem was delivered by Amazon at a very reasonable price – a filter and a good filter coffee powder.

  • The Tale of Three Cities – Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo

    Soemoncho is a foodie’s paradise, there are a lot of options to try. We tried Salmon and Avocado salad, Japanese Omelette, Curry and rice, Ichiran Ramen and much more in these streets. This is where we found about Kotodama, a wonderful Japanese belief!

  • Kappa Chakka Kandhari and Nostalgia on a plate

    The best way to describe this place is that the wait of around 2 hours was totally worth it! Kappa Chakka Kandhari is definitely nostalgia on a plate…and a very delectable one too! The dishes remind you of Kerala and its flavours.. Mani Puttu reminded me of home and the importance of fresh coconut.. Karimeen […]

  • At Blue Tokai

    This Sunday’s food exploration began at Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, Koramangala. The best part of its ambience was that it was complemented by natural sunlight. The settings were also cool with ample space between tables. Soon we found ourselves cosily tucked in a corner ready to order! We placed the following orders and happily, each […]

  • Kulukki Sarbath.. with a pinch of pride!

    Dissecting a dish is something that I have always loved to do. I try to guess the spices that have gone into a dish or discern a familiar flavour in it and seek confirmation from the chef… (usually met with raised eyebrows or approving smiles). It was recently that I encountered a challenge. It is […]

  • Temptingly Theobroma

    Theobroma was our weekend destination for amazing brownies, cup cakes, pastries and savouries. I still remember the very first time we visited this cute place in Hiranandani, Powai. Adorned with pastel shades and a view of the lively lanes, this place soon became our favourite weekend indulgence! What I loved the most is the wift […]

  • To Catch The First Sunrise Of A New Decade

    Japan, the land of the rising sun, had a mystic appeal to us. But the major reason we wanted to visit the country was because Dileep, my husband, is a huge Anime fan. He grew up following Naruto, Death Note, One Piece, Inu Yasha, Pokemon, Beyblade, Digimon, Studio Ghibli movies, Dragonball and One Punch Man […]
