Blogger’s Meet @ Savera for Kashmiri Food Fest A couple of days back, my friend Muskaan Dutta told me there’s a Kashmiri Food Festival going on in Curry Town, The Savera Hotel, and if I’d like to join her for a blogger’s meet there. Never one to pass up on exploring different cuisines, I signed up right away for it. After reaching “on-time” as per my usual standards (Well, technically I was 50 mins late, but hey, in my defense, it was the messed up Ola Share and traffic that made me travel a 10 KM distance for over 1.5 hours), I noticed that my friends were waiting for the starters and mocktails, doing a photo op on the papads (Glad I wasn’t too late). The Entrance Mandatory Shot of Wall Carving Food: Mocktails: This is part of Savera’s regular menu, but they obliged us with these to help our parched throats. They also have cocktails/drinks for those who want them. The mocktails are priced around Rs. 195 each

The East – Blogger’s Meet It was a fine week when we were invited to a food blogger’s meet at The East – Courtesy of our friend Sammienatorr (I dare you ask for the history behind that name :P). I was curious at the recent cropping up of Asian restaurants in the city, (Mamagoto is another fine example – We were there too, and my review is here:  Mamagoto, Nungambakkam ). Naturally, we signed up and were there (Surprisingly, this time at least, I was there just some 35 mins late :P) Disclaimer : This review is about 1.5 months old, and I’m sure the restaurant must have improved their fare by a considerable margin by now Location : Beneath Bobby’s Bistro, in North Boag Road Cuisine : Oriental Ambiance : Dimly lit (In fact so dimly lit that not-so-experienced mobile photographers like myself were struggling to get even passable photos) Cozy Segmented to give you a cozy place for catching up or holding on to your privacy Food: Mode of serving here is buffet. I wish it had been a success, b
