‘Indian Culinary Week’ by Courtyard by Marriott Gurgaon

Food February 8, 2016

‘8 Cities, 8 Chefs, 8 Cuisines – All under one roof’ is how Marriott Courtyard describes Indian Culinary Week, what we were excited about was that we are getting to eat authentic food from 8 cities under one roof, so one evening Team ChicLifeByte took the route to Gurgaon to try out the variety of cuisines. The buffet set under the night sky (we went for dinner) was an experience in itself. Every cuisine was given its own space in canopies which were beautifully decked up bringing out true flavours of the particular region. We also met respective chefs from each city who gave us insights to the food from their city.

This was done to celebrate individuality, unity and the spirit of culinary excellence, the chefs showcased an elaborate range of dishes from across cultures and cuisines. The festival served popular and rustic cuisines ranging from Konkani, Garwali, Andhra, Rajasthani, Tamil, Kerala, Bengali and Punjabi Cuisine. The Culinary stage saw the presence of Chef Thirumal from Bengaluru Marriott Whitefield, Chef Deepak Rana from JW Marriott Mussorie, Chef Ranjit from Jaipur Marriott Hotel, Chef Uday Karmalkar from Courtyard By Marriott Mumbai, Chef AmruthaValli from Hyderabad Marriott Hotel & Convention Centre, Chef Mithun Mohanan from Courtyard By Marriott Kochi, Chef Chiranjeet Mandal from Courtyard by Marriott Raipur and Chef Amarjeet Singh from Courtyard by Marriott Gurgaon presenting the best of their local cuisines.

A Bit Of Me…. a heaven for accessories

Fashion February 6, 2016

What is the best way to glam up an outfit? I am sure we all have different ways but what I personally swear by is accessories.

Recently while surfing the net I stumbled upon a website www.abitofme.in and believe me I was awestruck with the never ending options of Neck Pieces, Earrings, Bracelets, Brooches, Scarf Holders, Waist Chains, Head Pieces, Anklets, Body Chains, Rings. From beads to pearls, they had it all in the finest of designs. The best part was that they did have a great collection of accessories for women but they also have a great collection for men from Bow Ties, Cufflinks, Lapel Pins, Tie Pins, Collar Buttons to Party Ties and Suspenders

Pizza Hut Maxx Cheese Launch…Cheesilicious and yummm!!!!

Food February 4, 2016

Pizza Hut has been one of my favourite outlets to satisfy my Pizza cravings so when I was invited to Pizza Hut’s Maxx Cheese Launch I was excited to try out the new crust and give you my views.

As I made my way to Pizza Hut’s Connaught Place outlet, the aroma of pizzas and garlic breads made my stomach grumble. We made ourselves comfortable on the first floor of the outlet which was reserved for us bloggers. On our arrival, we were served our drinks – Very Berry and Mocha Cold Coffee. Very Berry looked great with its pink berrylicious colour…As I sipped it, I loved the flavour. The Mocha Cold Coffee was good but nothing could beat the flavour of Very Berry. While we were waiting for the star dish, we were served some amazing appetizers.

Master Chef Dong Long recreates his magic at The China Kitchen, Hyatt Regency, Delhi

Food February 3, 2016

Started a chilly winter evening with an authentic Chinese dinner paired with some Chilean Wine, what more can one ask for. With a very warm staff and we chose to sit next to the pool, The China Kitchen at Hyatt Regency, Delhi gave a perfect location for a romantic date type of a dinner (just saying, we were there to EAT). The evening started with beautifully rolled menu with a pretty red ribbon stating the special creation in the menu by Master Chef Dong Long and poured in some Chilean Wine for the lady and Glenfiddich for the gentleman.

We chose to ask the manager to serve whatever was the Chef’s recommendation for us to try. And trust me; a master chef can never go wrong with it. Not even a single thing that was served to us disappointed us in any way, neither the presentation nor not the taste. Everything was just perfect.

The Groghead- sinfully sumptuous!

Food February 1, 2016

Delhi has always been on the radar for entrepreneurs to start their venture and today we talk about one such hideout which is surely one of the most promising gastro pubs in town- The Groghead.

So, is there any ambiguity that we won’t give you a glimpse of such a happening place? I bet you can’t say no, as our readers know us very well. So yes, team ChicLifeByte was invited for that wonderful evening with friends, wine & dine and not to forget a band performance night.

If we talk about gastro pubs, certain things are very mechanical but this was one place I enjoyed spending time. Interestingly, The Groghead is a place where everything is so wonderful be it ambiance, food & drinks or the Halloween barrel.
