Being a food blogger, it gives me immense pleasure to bring you updates about world cuisines. Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited to Peruvian Gastronomic Festival by Chef Bruno Andreas Santa Cruz at Hyatt Regency, Delhi. Peruvian Food Festival was done in association with the Embassy of Republic of Peru. Our research on Peru showcased a vivid and lively picture of the place based out of South America which made me quite enthusiastic on trying out the food and meeting Chef Bruno in person. Contrary to India, Peru food is quite simple. Main course is a piece of protein (chicken/meat), potatoes and rice. The food actually has an influence from Spain, Chinese, Japanese and Italy.
Team ChicLifeByte was a part of an event held recently at the Hyatt Regency Delhi which included Silk Threads exhibiting their Spring 2016 Couture Collection and concluding with a book launch by the Director of NIFT (India’s premier fashion institute), Dr. Vandana Bhandari, attended by legendary designers who have graduated from NIFT.
As winters are coming, our skin becomes dry, sensitive, uneven, patchy, rough & irritated. So we have a solution for this i.e. daily care with safest, best, natural, organic & completely safe herbal (without any chemicals or toxins) plant ingredients- the Organic Harvest Body Lotion with Tamarind seeds extract which helps in making skin soft and prevents it from dryness. It has a delicate fragrance and makes the skin smooth & supple with regular use.
We have always admired Chef Sabyasachi Gorai (Popularly known as Chef Saby) who hails from Asanol and resides in New Delhi. A name behind the menu of a lot of amazing places – Olive, Lap, Love Hotel and recipient of a lot of awards. So when Team ChicLifeByte got to know about ‘Lavaash by Saby’, we had to review it. Our research said, it is Armenian cuisine and we were curious to know more about it. We contacted Chef Saby who was sweet enough to invite us over to grab the taste of the cuisine. As we made our entry to the grand property, we were mesmerized by the interiors of the place. Every element had different colours of Peacock. Curious to know why? Because Peacock is the national bird of Armenia. Different elements at the restaurant were carefully put up to give the customers a nice vibe – elegant golden era lampshades, windchime with colourful birds, Peacock motifs on laser cut outs at the entrance, Bright tiles, colourful walls along with a beautiful terrace with a view of Qutub Minar. One thing we particularly liked was the upholstery of the chairs which had colourful patterns and prints which made the restaurant more lively. The mustard yellow wall added a subtle touch while the blue one gave a cool look. A big thumbs up to Svabhu and Viplab for doing such a fabulous job. Though Chef Saby and Chef Megha had put together a mood board for inspiration. Team Chiclifebye spent about half a day at the place as we did some outfit posts there – Trendy Divva which can be viewed here, FREECULTR and Triveni Sarees which will be posted soon. The beautiful interiors and exteriors along with the helpful staff made our shoot quite smooth.
Lights, Camera, Action!! Reminds me of a set of a movie in making…BUT, here we are talking about a newly launched initiative of a mobile content accumulation platform, NexGTV in association with the ace director, writer and storyteller Imtiaz Ali called the “SPOTLIGHT”. It is an online forum which will provide a launching platform to young talent. Users can make original short videos on variety of subjects and genres like horror, satire, drama, social, poetry, comedy original music, fiction and reality and can share it instantly. The platform intends to give talented people a chance to showcase their skills and also earn through it. NexGTV will carry selected videos under SPOTLight on its ‘TV on the GO’ platform.
Ever thought of having a hearty wholesome meal in a comfortable set up of a Stock Exchange Bar? This is what the newly opened Cafe Dalal Street (CDS) in Connaught Place offers. It is the brainchild of 2 young entrepreneurs Himanshu Gupta & Vidit Gupta who studied in UK together and wanted to get bar bites concept in India here which is famous in UK.
Everything is in small portions as Vidit wants that the customer orders more & more variety. There was a drink named Tequilla Roses in the menu made with rose water, milk, sugar & tequilla. It is found nowhere but here. Another very popular drink is the Eliminator (achiever’s drink in UK) which is available here.
