MAINLAND CHINA:)



This place was on cards since long, had i known about its outlet at SOBO CentralMall then i would have been there much earlier.....
 Happened to see it when I went to the mall recently, was in a hurry to get back to the hostel but promised myself to come back soon, to visit this lickolicious restaurent!!
Sonuda and Rahul bhaiyya 's visit to Mumbai marked my visit there.
It was Sonuda's BDay too! 
Entered there- was dark wood flooring and dark upholstery , sitting style: centre area for family, corners for joint families and for couples, part of customers could have the live tandoor view while dining. In an all the ambience was good ,cosy, moderately grand, with focus lights on table.
We took a table in the centre, or rather got one, though hoped to be placed near the tandoor. Our rounded table was filled up with  plates ,spoons,knives,chopsticks were optional, their sauces -soya,tabasco,chilli water, napkin, the cutlery shone wih the focus lights.
We browsed the menu, and then my mouth watering began :0 
I dotted for the duck in a chinese sauce. This is the first ever time I had a duck!! I would like to have tandoor duck too.And it was a yummy mix of fish's softness and chicken's roughness on my palate. I'm sure the reader's mouth is also watering now!!!!
Next I had Chicken panfried noodles! This was good too,against an expectation of the label of "bland chinese food" everything was well spiced. Price is high which was expected .
For the special BDay celebration , three men, with a guitar, came up to us with the birthday cake and icecream! 
Would like to go there again!!
Three thumbs up!!!

My Sunday Feast!!!

It was at my newly wed bro's place...
I went  to his place for testing my new bhabhi's cooking skills! Sunday noon, Bhabhi had time to cook at leisure, from a konkan background she is, she served us pomfret fry,prawns fry, sauted prawns,curry of potato and konkan raw mango with rice! To add to the whole coastal food experience my bro made us a drink of  tulsi+kokum+water!! Apt for a sunday lunch!! loved her warmth, binged on food!! Prawns fry were the best!! so yummylicious!! Fish fry was pungent...should have been cooked more and crispy, while the curry was perfect with the rice!! All of us i.e bro,Sushbi ( Sushanti Bhabhi) ,sister Suvarna and me sat together for this luncheon with the comedy part of a film being screened on television. Loved it!!!!
