If I don't talk or show off the wonderful cocktails I had on a full moon evening (actually one day later , but the moon still shone the same way) in #november 2019 , when my Friend @the.tenth.muse (bold , beautiful and super talented, whom I regard with awe ) invited me for an evening of indulgence at the @windmills_craftworks , as part of the #cocktailsofindia , in one of the #30bestbarsinindia 2019, it will be a blunder . We had lots of drinks and even more of talking with @monikamanchanda , @anirbanblah, @the.tenth.muse (who even went behind the bars for sometime) and @rohaldea .... . The drinks made by @neil_invictus883 were unforgettable. It's a shame I did not know about him until that evening. I remembered my experience at @thedeadrabbit #nyc , the most , that evening. #avrilsfoodjournee #privileged #cocktails #nohangover #bestcoctails #cocktailsoiree #experienceoftheday #explorebangalore #drinkdrinkanddrink #hiddengems #lifeinbangalore #bangalorefoodscene #bangalore #liquidpoison #minix456 #loadedfrydayz #lovxdoggozx #trygg #moustacfash #lovxdoggox23 #likzkarothur #adjlike

Another Fabulous opportunity to savour on the #delicacies from the land of the five rivers in #kava Right from the traditional sweets , to the decor and even folks working in kava @fairfield.rajajinagar , everything added to the charm. Priced at INR 1099+ taxes this festival is being hosted till 25th Jan 2020 Here's a glimpse of the same in pictures. Btw , the yellow kurti from @pick_your_stylez is purely a coincidence. #avrilsfoodjournee #festivefood #punjabicuisine #regionalcooking #bonvoy #marriottbonvoy #festivalsofindia #explorebangalore #experienceoftheday #foodielife #lifeinbangalore #marketzboroughzx #gymmtrueluv #boroughxmarketzx #dapunlife #bahuthogyaabzzzzzz

Dinner scenes tonight at @potonoodlesofficial , #indiranagar. Loved the place - the decor & obviously the food. #mondaydinner #avrilsfoodjournee #lifeinbangalore #experienceoftheday #foodielife #japanesefortheindiantastebud #bangalorefoodies #explorebangalore #differentcuisinesinbangalore #sobangalore #mymagicpinbangalore #lbbbangalore

Tonight , when I am sitting with the thought I I have to be back to office tomorrow, I am thinking of the friendly neighborhood pub which I visited midweek, to celebrate a midweek holiday - which is a dream dream thing for me. And I don't think I am getting such an evening in a couple of months now. But I shall go back to the place for sure , especially to sit in that balcony set up or to go to the terrace , which was already booked for a private party. We started with a drumstick soup (mullakada Charu) which I really really liked. We also had some healthy dish - mixed jewel sprout salad. The panner ghee roast surprised me and I asked for a second helping. The lemongrass chicken dimsum disappeared even before I could ask for a chopstick. The tangdi mumtaz went well with drinks and the men really took care of her. Ioved the dum aloo kashmiri and wanted to take a #togo to pair with home made luchi on the holiday morning ... It was so good. Lastly I ended my day with the crunchy bite on the sheer kurma bullet ... I was even accused of being greedy and oblivious to my group , whether they had their share or not .... They were soooo good and I could not but be greedy !! #avrilsfoodjournee #bangaloreinfluencers #lifeinbangalore #hsr #thepubinthehood #foodoptionsofbangalore #weekdaybreak #pubhouse #lifeiscool #lifeinbangalore

Remembering the #pondicherry trip. The first trip with my brother ( @avilashgupta ) to my right ,sans parents . You will have to endure my bouts of #puducherry posts from time to time. @rajarshee_kar (to my left) & I were back in the place we have visited the most together ,after 2.8 years. All of us were super excited. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #pondi #explorepondicherry #pondicherrytourism #incredibleindia #INCREDIBLEINDIA #lonelyplanet #condenasttraveller #exploretheworld #todaysworld #littlethings #spsat18 #18janlike01 #finyyz #setofash

I still remember those fun days , visiting my mom's maternal side , during our summer holidays or winter break. They had cows at home and we used to drink delicious, thick and tasty #milk. After growing up , obviously the scenario has changed. I have moved from one city to the other for work. No packet #milk could ever replicate the taste of the #milk I had back home until #milklane came along! It's super easy, as I don't have to boil it and consume directly with shelf life of 90days. The #milklane cow #milk is delicious in taste, thick and consistent and today I made a savory dish with it! Made vegetable stew and used #milklane milk as it is thick, tasty and hassle-free to use. It is also safe from toxin and antibiotics with no preservatives and adulterants. Bangaloreans, here is your opportunity to try something so impressive, SMS milklane to 56263 for exciting offers. #avrilsfoodjournee #avrilrecommends #avrillovestocook #baaridhararhenshel #urbanlife #easytipsforurbanlife #lifeinbangalore #sobangalore #theindiastory #towerzbridgezx

Nothing else could have been a befitting post than this one - it's a tale of pithey-puli , patishapta and koraishutir kochuri , the luxuries which Bengalis in Bengal wait for , throughout all other seasons. Along with these,the unspoken ingredients to make this evening memorable was the warmth, hospitality and the effort to continue the #bangaliana .. Thank you @raunakblr da & @poulami di for such a beautiful memory to savour. A beautiful souvenir for the 'Poush shonkranti' ! #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #littlethings #memories #friendswhocare #bengalisweets #bengalifood #bengalicuisine #bengalurudessertsclub #bengalibyheart #bengaliculture

When in #pondi the best way to commute is 'en pied' or go cycling !! I sweat , I am tired but not fatigued ! #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #ilovepondicherry #incredibleindia #INCREDIBLEINDIA #explorepondicherry #condenasttraveller #lonelyplanet #bbctravel #idreamofbeingatravellerforlife #wlohrispclwe #muddyamber60 #spclwzxlohri #newiopl #wlohrispclwe #filtermaharaj #lohriztodayxaz #13janlike1 #srypanz

With the changing scenario , the diaspora where people from all over the country reach Bangalore and get amalgamated (including me) ... Another thing has happened quietly ... In 2008 - 2009 where it was so difficult to find popular evening snacks like Momo's, kathi rolls etc from Kolkata upbringing , now not only can we find those, we can even find dishes like litti chokha too. The guy heard me speaking in Bangalee and started conversation in bengalee. On enquiring , he told me he is managing this street shop for the part 4 years. Paying him was so easy ... @paytm Kiya ! Life in #bangalore is so convenient. By the way if you have not yet tried those #healthy balls of joy - do try #littichokha wherever you get them in Bangalore and let me know. Thank you @the.foodietales for the information. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #bangalore #whatsfordinner #changingwayhowbangaloreeats #sobangalore #explorebangalore #experienceoftheday #eastindianfood #streetfood #streetfoodsofindia #instafoodstory

Visiting #pondicherry has become our annual ritual. While 2019 was totally a different year. We opened our travel tick list with #pondi In 5-6 hours drive this place is so conveniently reachable , yet once you reach there , it feels far from the mainland #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #ilovepondicherry #travelstories #gratitude #incredibleindia #travelgram #lonelyplanet #condenasttraveller #explorepondicherry #explorepondy #loveyourself #janzx9hogayaz #thursdazisnewmondaz #thurzxbackx #maggieeluvvrr #freshdaystartzqtw #booisdangerous #urbnscale #itzthursday20

Trust me when this picture was taken I was not aware of the backdrop . While reading about the chain #papparoti , I realized this picture is in syny with their caption #onebitedifferentexpressions Well coming back to #papparoti , it's a famous dessert in Malaysia which goes extremely well with your coffee or tea , hot or cold. The coffee coated butter bun has a very crispy crust yet soft inside. The chain @papparoti started in 2003 and expanded it's horizon in the middle East and many more countries ... And its extremely popular. In #india they are present in Chennai , Hyderabad , Mumbai and now Bangalore as well. The outlet is in the LG floor of @pmcbangalore . They also serve sandwiches , pasta , pizza and a huge Choice of beverages (non alcoholic) .... So go with your family, date, bae , girlfriends or gang and enjoy this new delight ! P.s the dough comes from #malaysia ! #avrilsfoodjournee #newplacealert #sobangalore #explorebangalore #experienceoftheday #lbbbangalore #mymagicpinbangalore #instafood #lifeinbangalore #somethingnew #lovelikeswshareszsaveshqz #aajz8janzgayax #rainzzyz #ajtobhtbhukh #8janlike1 #projectdwindia #aajz8janzgayax #linkssehashtagszq #lovelikeswshareszsaveshqz

Whenever I am in #pondicherry my first meal is always here ... the same dishes year on year! It's a place set up by Ms. Anima BISWAS in1994 . In the past 10 years , I have been visiting #pondi regularly , rather it's an annual ritual now. The best part is , you order the same dishes and relax ... It's done the same way !! I used to savour her firewood pizzas , which she kneaded and doled out with care so easily as we talked across the counter The same staff .. even if a couple of them left , only to rejoin soon. She is ever warm and smiling, inspite of so many things around her to be dealt with and we always part with a warm hug. Through the chit chat I almost know her daughter who is in Arizona, her mexican son in law, their kids, their house hold, her own upbringing. We possibly share common feelings or hard feelings ... If I ever get a chance , I shall like to run or own a calm - quiet place like this. Though while speaking to her , I know the day to day challenges and realize it's a mammoth task. By the way , I realized the place is not marked on insta - it's called #laterrace . It's right before the petrol pump where the beach road starts. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #explorepondicherry #ilovepondicherry #firstlunchinpondi #pondi #incredibleindia #condenasttraveller #travelstories #travelgram #grizzayaaa #indiapotto #wiswisety #jimtim6simqw #mon6likesxcqy #gig6jigmig

The year #2020 started with a resolution to eat right and I discovered #eatfit !! They have breakfast and all day menu with calorie marking. You also get a #diy option. Taste wise , there is no change , contrary to the belief that healthy food cannot be tasty. Moreover, they are open till 1 a.m. which makes it a good option on weekdays too. By the way, not only the options - I felt they are pretty reasonably priced too #avrilsfoodjournee #eatright #eatstagram #sobangalore #lbbinsider #lbbbangalore #lifeinbangalore #foodoptionsofbangalore #optionsforworkingpeople #weekdaydinnersolution #satpartyzvibes #simarazyz #pongalgftng #bddaywhy #hihy4deczq #4declike

Remembering last year while a picture postcard or calendar like scene came to life, where we saw people of all ages tried, skied, fell, got up & glided in the #iceskating rink of @centralparknyc P.c - @rajarshee_kar #avrilsfoodjournee #dreamlike #newyork #newyorkcity #travelblogger #travelphotography #reminiscing2019 #ilovenyc #manhattan #travelstories #lifeintheotheotherside #wintertales #hpyyear2k20 #newyzz

I am trying to catch up with my Friends before the decade gives in to and what better place than the place which makes you feel Royal and pampered. I am talking about @theleelapalacebengaluru and their restaurant #citrus to be more precise. Regarding one of the two dishes ... The interesting part of the entire dish is the duration and process , in which this big chunk of meat is processed and presented to the table. Just a trivia this braised lamb shank is cooked for over 8 hours !!!!! The other one with Norwegian salmon looks simple but the preparation is equally complex and therefore the chemistry it reveals to the tastebud leaves a long lasting memory..... I just didn't realize how time passed over food & conversation .... 5 hours passed in a jiffy! I feel when you want to commemorate a landmark event in life or make a certain day memorable ... This is the kind of place or dish one should relish ..... #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #meaty #explorebangalore #explorekarnataka #luxuryredefined #meetingfriends #lifeinbangalore #sobangalore #lbbinsider #lbbbangalore #huffposttaste #soblessed #gujjubhaifeatured #wetzyz #foodgood30moodazq #food30zagoodyaycz #foodgoodsz30moodzc #2daysleft20199

Looking back at this year that just has 3 more days left.... Looking at the places I visited ... Can't help thinking or talking about this memorable trip with my parents . This was my second visit to #Hampi. Nothing has much changed except the road conditions and for better I must say. About this iconic place which puts our country in the must visit list among UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the east-central Karnataka, India. Hampi,is also referred to as the Group of Monuments at Hampi. It's reminiscent of the rich vijayanagara kingdom. I usually tell my friends , if you are waiting to visit the other historical Marvel's across the globe, start with Hampi. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #aroundtheworld #explorekarnataka #karnatakatourism #incredibleindia #lonelyplanet #bbctravel #travelstories #travelblogger #explorekarnataka #unescoworldheritage #newyrcc #29dec2k199

Remembering an evening which left an indelible impression. At the 21st floor , such impeccable hospitality , good food and paired with the perfect wines from @krsmaestates ! The pampering brought out the narcissist in me. #avrilsfoodjournee #wintertales #winelover #celebration #sliceofbangalore #essyzz #lanadaylikes #lastfri19 #oloizxaqyt #ume27lovezdecss #kbtknetaisebandhogayaaroo
