The hospitality of Pride Surya Mountain Resort- Part II

Travel August 19, 2016

I am sure you know that Team ChicLifeByte was in Mcleodganj staying in the beautiful suite of the luxury property Pride Surya Mountain Resort. In case you missed on the first part, you can read it here.

As I woke up the next morning, I saw a beautiful view of Mcleodganj from the room’s window. This is not what we can see from any of the Delhi homes or hotels…neither such a big window…nor such a breathtaking view! Both hot water and breakfast was for a limited no. of hours so without wasting much time…we took a quick shower and headed for the first meal of the day.

This Monsoon…give your tastebuds a treat!

Food August 15, 2016

Yeh mausam ka jaadu hai….No, I am not reminiscing a bollywood actress singing and dancing on this song but I am enjoying the magical monsoon! Monsoon brings out a special effect where we would just want to enjoy tea and pakodas in our balcony with our special ones.

Recently, I was invited for a special brunch known as ‘Band Baaja Baarish’ at Informal located at Connaught Place where I would get to experience a special monsoon menu. This quite attracted me and I immediately said yes to the special invitation.

Experienced the real Brownie… delicious, chocolaty and heavenly

Food August 14, 2016

Who doesn’t love brownies? And when brownies are soft, moist, chocolaty, and absolutely yum…who can resist them. I recently visited the factory of the dessert brand Kuppies and realized what I was having all these years wasn’t real brownie but something else. Yes, when I tasted the brownie which Kuppies is introducing, it was very different from what I have had till date.

Restaurant Review: Food On Wheels, Faridabad

Food August 10, 2016

Owned by IIHM Rookie Chef Winner – Ayush Rastogi and assisted by his sister Shivani, Food On Wheels is situated in the heart of Green Fields Colony, Faridabad. What started with a road side kiosk, this has now developed into a cozy little dining place and is nothing short of good taste.

You enter into the small yet comfortable restaurant and notice the live kitchen right at its entrance. The man behind the live counter would be seen preparing some mouth-watering savories and doing his tricks with mocktails. Done in plain cream coloured background and simple furniture, this place is certainly an evening out place for a group of friends and families alike. The place is well lit- not too dim & not too bright. However, it can definitely work out better on its lighting, décor and overall ambience.

Circus: Playful, Joyful and Colourful- The new entrant at South Extension

Food August 10, 2016

As we made our way to Circus, the latest swanky sensation at South Extension, we found a colourful, lively and joyful environment. Afterall, you have two renowned people behind the place- Shivkaran Singh and Raminder Bakshi. I have stayed in this area ever since I was born and have always missed a fine dining place in this area where one could have a nice meal or even party. Circus perfectly meets the requirements of today’s youngsters who want the right ambience, right food at the right price.

Inspired by foods found in pushcarts and hawker stalls, Circus is a local restaurant telling a global story. Located in South Ex-2 with a terrace offering breathtaking views of the city, diners can choose from an array of global street foods while journeying through the multilevels of this all day diner.

The first thought of West Delhi’s Rajouri Garden lanes frames around shopping, big brands and exclusive restaurants that serve the typical Punjabi istyle Dal-makhni and Butter Chicken that you will not find wherever else in the city. The families come together to enjoy the distinctive Punjabi cuisine known for its rich and buttery flavours.

Aanch – the premier dining and entertainment destination located in the exclusive Shopper Stop Mall in Rajouri Garden, devoted two months in extensive trials to merge new flavours that defy cultural expectation of classical dishes and yet creating something extraordinary.
