Fish with a twist!!

Really enjoyed our meal at Hakasan, Bandra last weekend and was impressed with the variation introduced on the menu. Though I'm a vegetarian, my family enjoyed the boneless fish in an interesting red sauce , topped with ladyfinger pieces. The edamame rice was tasty and different.

Chocolate Toffee Pudding at Sassy Spoon

Loved the absolutely delicious Chocolate Toffee Pudding at Sassy Spoon, Bandra over the weekend. The base was a combination of soft chocolate and coconut.. It just melted in the mouth. Was not very sweet and the vanilla ice-cream topping enhanced the taste perfectly. Definitely recommend it.
