Sushi Rolls

Sushi seems to have arrived Big Time in India with Lots of Indians Celebrating this Favorite dish of Japan..With a no of Japanese Speciality Restaurants coming up, Sushi has now come to be accepted as a Favorite Snack for Indians .....I happened to Visit, Sushiya,, a Japanese Speciality take away joint, at Select City Walk Mall, Saket. Sushi is basically made out of Fermentation of Rice using Vinegar & the fish proteins are broken into amino acids ..... High quality of Raw Fish , typically Salmon or Tuna is used in the Sushi

Look at the Interesting mix of Sushi stuffed in Plastic Box packing...Look at the Color Gamut..Yellow, white, Orange...

The raw fish are generally preserved at-20 c in the freezer, a couple of days & then stored at Normal temp to be consumed..... Served with Vinegar dipped Ginger Flakes, Wasabi Dip - a highly Pungent dip made of Japanese Raddish, mustard & some Oil ...Very Pungent Dip..... a sweet Soya dip is also added on the rice cubes....

Slight smell of the raw fish, sesame seeds loaded, Sweetness of Soya Sauce, Wasabi- Highly dynamic & Pungent mix.....Coldness of the Rice, sourness of Vinegar, slight sweet dash of Soya, probably helps neutralise the fishy smell of the raw fish

Flavors

Flavors - One of Delhis favorite places for having Italian Cusine...although Delhites may swear  over The Big Chill for the Hip & Happening place for Italian Cusine - there is a marked difference between the 2 restaurants though both serving same cusines ... Flavors to me is more classy & the atmosphere is little somber compared to a Big Chill ...Located Just after Andrews Ganj Flyover, South Delhi

 I went there Last week to celebrate my very close buddys birthday ...Obviously as one grows old, Birthday bashes are not anymore about being brash, getting drunk & behaving rash..Its more of a sombre affair. with People going out with Families, spouse etc..So we also went with our respective spouses



Minerstone Soup & Garlic Bread was yummy

I have almost reached a conclusion that Soups in Italian Cusine may not be too tantalising for our Taste Buds .. The Minerstone soup just failed to Impress, with absoultely lack of spices, richness or any great taste or character in the soup...Quite ordinary... The Garlic bread was very nice ..The Garlic was light & subtle & not atall over done in the flavor..nice crispness

Grilled & Herbed Chicken ..Entree

The Grills are one of the Highlights for the Italian Menu here at Flavors...I ordered the Grilled Chicken with herbs - 1 Piece Chicken Leg, 1 Piece Chicken Breast & 1 Piece Chicken Lollypop - along with Stir Fried Vegetables .. the Chicken was very mildly spiced, with light aroma --- The smell quite good enough to raise the appetite but not too strong enough to overpower the other aroma ... Chicken pieces were nice, juicy & chewy ..Not the melt in your mouth sorts, but something which you can bite into ... Top it up with Oregano spices, Chilli Flakes, Tobasco Chilli Sauce, Dash of Lime Sauces ........and quite a decent bite

All Chicken Pizza....Thin, Crisp

Next on the Menu was the Flavors Special, All Chicken Pizza ..again Lightly spiced, with lot of veggies, good dash of Cheese .... The Pizza base was maidaa, but carrying a Thin Crust -- Veggies were fresh & not too heavy on the Palate

Veg Pizza with Goat Cheese

Being a Strict Non Vegetarian, Its against my principles to touch Vegetarian Food during meals outside...But being a Foodie, its bad to discriminate against Vegetarians, so I end up having bites of Veg stuff as well just to have some idea of the taste..... The Goat Cheese had quite a rich texture, Little salty, quite rich & creamy in taste..

All in all, a great Experience & a great Dinner .... But being a Birthday, How can we leave withouot Giving a Birthday gift befitting for this occassion ..... Here is a Sneak Preview of the Gift that the Birthday Boy Got....

TGIFs- Thank god its Friday

TGIFs- Thank God Its Friday - The Hugely Popluar Mexican Restaurant which created quite a stir in the Fine dining market with its great success.... Known for its exquisite range of Mexican & Italian Cusines, Firecrackers of Drinks...Cock Tails, MockTails, Long Island Ice tea, amazing Mexican Snacks ...It was quite the place to be to let your Hair dowm after a Gruelling week at work .... TGIF, acquired an almost Iconic status & soon was the symbol of Cool for Working Gen-x who didint mind spending that extra for the perfect Experience......Just last week, I had an Opportunity to visit the place after a Log Long time .... I have been mainly into Tandoori, Mughlai, Chineses Menus & not tried much of Mexican .... Came to Know about their Lunch  Offers, which they are runnimg for quite some time & decided to visit the Place after a really long time.. The Ambience as always quite striking & vibrating - with their excellent color combos of Bright red creating the perfect mood...

The Vibrant Colors add to the ambience

The Lunch Menu is hugely Popular & has become quite a big draw at the Restaurant ... A 2 Course Lunch Menu @199/ .. A 3 Course Lunch enu @299/ seems to be quite reasonably priced for the perfect lunch setting ... One can Plan your 3 Course lunch from the Soup, Appetiser,Starters, Entrees, Desserts ... Lemonade along with the meal is Complimentary......



The Menu is a Huge Hit....Perfect for a Nice Lunch

We Order 1 Chicken Soup, 1 Honey Chicken Strips for Appetiser, & Potato Wedges for the 2nd Lunch Appetiser..There are maximum 4-5 Varieties to Chose from the Appetisers & Entrees.. The Honey Chicken was Over Fried for my Liking & was too crisp.. The Dip served along didnt help either....The Potato wedges were just nice & spicy..The dip served was quite nice

Appetisers

The Main Course or Entrees were Herb Grilled Chicken in Non Veg & Veg Pizza  7" .. The Herb Chicken was served with a Tangy, very spicy, sour curd like dip...& some beans & rice - Looked like a Typical Mexican Fare with Rice, Beans, some Chicken & a Fiery, Tangy Dip .. The Veg Pizza was crisp, with quite a fill of Chese...Retained some basic flavors & was a nice bite

Coming to the Menu – the best selling Burger here is the Grilled Chicken Burger - Grilled Chicken Patty, layered with Mint Chutney, Onions & tomato slices & placed between the fresh buns is a real delight. Really juicy, & nice flavour of the Bar be Que & the sauces , really adds to the taste. An Amazing bite for Rs 35/=

The California Burger- It just reminds you of the Good Old days, of Home grown Indian restaurants – Nirulas, Wimpys & Long before foreign chains took over. Tossed in the Bun with Home Made Mayonaise, Lettuce, really Pungent mustard sauce & Phew !!!! what a desi bite . The Patty is very crunchy is really deep fried for that divine Home made kind of a taste...& its not too heavy on the tummy as well

Chicken Don is a smaller more desi flavor patty, with onions & tomatoes & some mayonnaise. The Chicken Patty is again deep fried & is very crispy & crunchy – for Rs 27/= its worth a bite

The Arabian Lamb Burger is again a favourite here among the crowd, But not my personal favourite though, as the lamb is not too done for my liking. The Chicken Shammi Kabab is another light & tasty snack . 4 Pices of Mutton Shammi Kabab for Rs 50 is a really good meal, The shammis are nicely fried on the Pan are crispy & have the authentic taste & not some Fast Food Kind of kebabs. The mince nicely holds the flavour – Cardamom, Clove etc being the prominent flavours

The Wraps again are the hot favourite, especially the Chicken Tikka wrap. 4-5 nice juicy pieces of Chicken wrapped in a Flour Paratha, is really a heavy bite & quite a fill
