Of momos, mousse and everything in between..

Food has always been the comfort factor for me. Theres no denial to the fact that good food always seems to lift low spirits. But as of everyone, i too have some absolutes which i feel must be mentioned in my blog.So here are some of my all timers, the food i can count on to make me "happy", no matter what!

The sweets:

Never been a fan of indian traditional ghee laden sweets {no offence to those who like it k..} , my version of sweet means something of the following order:

Mousse: Though chocolate is always on the menu, my mom recently made the mock-lemon version, for which i have developed an addiction .

Cheesecakes: Although really calorie giving the kiwi one at Dorabjee can make any blue dissapear.

Chocolate brownies with or w/o vanilla icecream: Best ones:mom-made, ranking close are the german bakery ones, followed by Barista.

Chocolate-walnut cake: i sincerely prefer the sinful cake-n-counter ones~to the rest.



Moving to my other favs:

Momos, dimsums, wantons, dumplings: These tibetian-chinese-cantonese-thai innovations, served steaming hot , in the monsoons~yumm. Full of flavour for those who have developed a taste for these goodies, they are my abso-favs, if thats a word.

Pav-bhaji, wada pav, marzo/sub-sandwiches, and SPDP{kalyan/murlibhaiya}: Cant do without these junk ofcourse.

Idliwadadosa sambar:Udipi foods are the delightful sunday breakfast.

okay...ill stop here for i can go on rambling about everything i love to eat.
The intention for this post was that i totally feel that the food one eats can affect/influnce one's mood for good.

And yes, im a total foodie!heheh!

Meenakshi Rehani said...

im not generally a paan person, but tell me what kind is it?

i believe there are a multitude variety.

Calcutta patta / banares patta / meetha / with supari / without supari / with gulukand etc etc...

im talking about stuff thats beyond me, so before I embarrass myself, lemme know!

Shiren Janus said...

well im not a paan person either, but their makai w/o supari~{i think} is a 5 buck speciality!
Btw, the chicken-wrap at "Thymes" on Bhandarkar road is pretty good too, seeing that ur a chicken fan.
