Culinary Adventure: Leela Palace
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/07/bangalore-leela-palace.html
Tuesday, July 04, 2006. Leela in Bangalore is the most expensive hotel in the country. Sadly the prices are reflective more of the demand supply mismatch rather than the quality of the place. I attended CII's Innovation summit at Leela a few weeks back and was sadly disaapointed with the food served for lunch. It was well cooked but lacked the "aah" factor. In other words it was clinically, well done for most dishes but lacked the panache. A definite 4 on 5. Can't really fault them now can you?

Culinary Adventure: wok vs stir-fry
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2007/01/wok-vs-stir-fry.html
Saturday, January 20, 2007. In my last post I wrote about the horrible experience at Yana. After the experience I realised i did not know what exactly a wok was. A quick look on wikipedia. Revealed that it's just the name for a chinese Kadai! The wok is a versatile round-bottomed cooking vessel originating in China. The wok is known as a wadjang, as kuali and kawali (small wok) in Malaysia, kawa (big wok) in the Philippines and kadai in India. Obviously, not very exciting! Next, I looked up Stirfry.

Culinary Adventure: First Impressions - Magnolia
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/08/bangalore-first-impressions-magnolia.html
Monday, August 28, 2006. First Impressions - Magnolia. I love chinese food but somehow the only chinese place that I've frequented in Bangalore is Rice Bowl on the Lavel road. These days I come to Bangalore quite frequently but stay near domlur/Indiranagar thus ruling out rice bowl completely. So, its been time to experiment with places in Kormangala. I believe in the saying that a rose smells as sweet by any other name and so shall certainly try the Thai fare in near future. First Impressions - Magnolia.

Culinary Adventure: Kashmiri Stall, Dilli Haat
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/08/delhi-kashmiri-food-dilli-haat.html
Thursday, August 10, 2006. Kashmiri Stall, Dilli Haat. I love Rogan Josh; the most famous dish to come from Kashmir. Hence, I am always on the look out for a place that serves genuine kashmiri food. The only place that I frequent and which serves (I think! Genuine Kashmiri food is the kashmiri stall at Dilli Haat. The meat for rogan josh could have been cooked better. The goshtaba was very nice. For the uninitiated, gostaba is a meat ball served in a curd based curry. Dilli Haat Rockz.it does!

Culinary Adventure: First Impressions: Yana
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2007/01/first-impressions-yana.html
Saturday, January 20, 2007. A friend suggested Gold Adlabs at Kalyani Nagar as the place to meet up last week for lunch. She could make but i was lured to Yana which promised Sizzlers and Wok. Wok was the easy choice as I haven't been to the "All stir fry" at Gordan House at Colaba. I love All Stir Fry but haven't been there for a long time. So a chance to have a similar experience was quite alluring. Rating: 1.5/5.0. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Culinary Adventure: Inch
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/08/bangalore-inch.html
Friday, August 11, 2006. Inch is on the 100ft road in Indiranagar right next to Cafe Coffee day. I went in there for the first time as it was vacant compared to CCD and then just fell in love with the place. They have some good salads and pasta. Simple, light and tasty stuff. I'd recommend the Mocha frappe to go with just about everything. A definite for every of my Bangalore visits. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). First Impressions - Hyderabad House.

Tuesday, July 04, 2006. I'd put this a 3.5 on 5. Better cooked meat would make it a 4. A must visit if you want spicy food in Bangalore. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Culinary Adventure: Changes
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/09/changes.html
Saturday, September 09, 2006. I've migrated to the Blogger Beta for culinary ventures and also trying wordpress with Vanity. So one sees changes such as labels and some changes in format. Hope it adds to the readability. On the downside, I can't comment on non-beta blogger sites! The labels made me realise that the content is quite sparse right now. Will address it in next few days. A place I can recommend however is Casa Del Sol at Devatha Plaza, on Residency Rd. Cheers and Happy Dining,.

Culinary Adventure: Oh Calcutta Express
http://culventure.blogspot.com/2006/05/mumbai-oh-calcutta-express.html
Sunday, May 28, 2006. I just posted about a 3.5/5 restaurant. Not the kind of stuff great weekends are made of. But this weekend was great because of a 5/5 place: Oh Calcutta Express! Oh Calcutta Express is the smaller cousin of the Tardeo Oh Calcutta that has opened at Lokhandwala. I used to frequent the tardeo one about a year and half back. So when I heard about the Lokhandwala one, naturally I was keen to visit it. For one reason or the other, it never happened upto this weekend. One is served a aloo...
