So, here we are on our fun filled travelogue with updates of our adventures at Corbett Blue Sky Resort in Jim Corbett. If you missed out on Day 1, you can read it here. Day 2 started with a stroll in the green lawns and our morning cup of tea. The pleasant weather and fresh air made our morning great. It felt heavenly walking on the slightly wet grass. What a wonderful start of the day!! We also had our morning tea and sandwiches in the lawn. Having our morning tea in greenery was a different and nice experience. Afterall we Delhi wallas rarely ever see such greenery. The veg sandwiches served with the tea were nice and soft with a filling of cucumber and tomato along with butter. The chai had elaichi in it and smelled wonderful.
Imly junction, the vegetarian food train that is when you take a trip down the train. Now let’s get started with Varun Puri’s & Vivek Bhargava’s imlyicious delicious vegetarian train journey which is a yet another dream concept called Imly. I loved the logo & the Imly drawing outside the huge 250 ft. long food train full of sweet surprises & street food at Rajendra Place specially made & designed by Varun Puri. It has a unique & chapata concept of street food of India. His dream & nostalgia came alive of following culinary traditions & habits of every country of India- the train journeys & the delicious delicacies being made available that one is born up eating the street food. I saw the glasses & plates beaming with colourful hues and the window day light & the decor that I loved with all the lovely colours on the table and the interiors done so aesthetically… so warm & welcoming, coming from the inventor & creator of a lovely idea that is direct from his heart & soul i.e. Imly. So lets see what the brainchild of Varun Puri has to offer for us food addicts.
You enter a place and all you see is chocolates all over!! Isn’t something like this a dream?? No, we are not living in the Hansel & Gretel’s fairytale but that is what Team ChicLifeByte recently experienced when we entered Choko la’s renewed store at Khan Market. We were invited to the store for a chocolate tasting session. As we made our way to the store, we saw divine chocolates in various shapes and forms in the most exotic packaging ever. From Classic Dark, Milk Bar to powders, they had it all.
Christamas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.
The Christmas month has already arrived and so have the celebrations. Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited for the Christmas celebrations at Hyatt Regency, Gurgaon for their Tree Lightening Ceremony. As I entered the beautifully done up hotel, I met cute Simmi Sood, the PR Manager of Hyatt Regency, Gurgaon who was dressed in white, happy & smiling. It is always a pleasure to meet people who instantly lift up your mood with their bright smiles.
ChicLifeByte brings to you another food experience this time- Pan Asian gourmet home delivery from Asian Haus. Asian Haus strives to promote healthy living by making a conscious effort to reduce the use of artificial flavors, oils and sugars traditionally used in Asian cooking. By using imported products and sauces, they ensure that the food retains its Asian authenticity. The food is cooked in less oil with no preservatives/artificial flavours and no MSG.
Feast your eyes as Le Meridien is transformed into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory. Yes, a chocolate factory! Read on to know more.
As I entered, I saw a huge 25 ft. tall unique Christmas tree in the lobby. What’s special about the Christmas tree is that it is made out of 3000 discarded CD’s which have been collected from several departments of the hotel & also contributions from conscientious guests who care about the environment. Fashioned out of about 3000 CDs, this special tree is a strong symbol of the hotel’s motto of managing e-waste and also adhering to the principle of ‘Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.’
The Kids Menu at California Pizza Kitchen is drafted intelligently keeping in mind key factors such as health, nutrition, taste, choice and flavour catering to kids of all ages. I felt really happy that California Pizza Kitchen invited me with my son Siddhant for tasting of Kids Menu.
A table was specially booked for my son, wherein he experienced a special feeling of care and warmth. California Pizza Kitchen’s interiors were done in an earthy and artistic manner. The walls had a finish of raw brickwork with California Paintings all over. The Kids Menu was presented before Siddhant and now was the time to make his choices.
With this onset of the winter season and my desire to taste the lovely milkshakes, I went to Barcelos, Khan Market recently to try their newly launched shakes.
To begin with, the first thing that struck me was the different varieties and blends of shakes they had on their menu. They even have some boozy shakes (yes alcoholic ones) on the menu.
Zai, a name which I read while coming back from GK-2 has been on my mind since then. My research said it meant ‘seventh heaven’ in Roman and ‘form of perfection’ in Persian. When I recently got a chance to review this place, I thought why not try out the seventh heaven on Earth.
Café style coffee at the comfort of your home in 2 simple steps… No, this is not a distant dream anymore!! Bonhomia, India’s first coffee and tea beverage capsule brand has introduced its very own brewing machine-THE BOHO. Team ChicLifeByte was recently invited to Bonhomia’s office at Ansal Plaza for an exclusive demo and tasting session. As I entered the office, I was warmly greeted by Neha Dagar, GM-Marketing and Sales Alliances, Indulge Beverage who not only gave a demo of the machines but also familiarised us with the brand.
