Chez Vous

For my annual birthday blow out (yes I know birthdays are supposed to be annual) landed up at Chez Vous. Now this is a french bistro type place in Mumbai. Unsurprisingly it does look to be a bit of a uphill struggle. The food ranged from the sublime to so so. Surprisingly the non main course type food was excellent. Quick nod of the head to the french onion soup, the crab cakes and the pomfret slices. Some of it was so good that we ended up ordering the same again. The main course was a bit of a disaster. The ratatouille was bleah beyond belief. The beef steaks were so so. Unfortunately it was the preparation which was so so and not the meat which was spectacular....

Memories of China - More like nightmares

Apologies for long hiatus. Work happened.

Went to Flora at Worli after what seemed like a millenium. Vague memories of Flora being good from college days led to this rediscovery. Frankly should have left sleeping memories lie. The food was downright awful. Then only redeeming feature was the dipping sauce which was awesome. I wonder how would it taste spread on a vada pav. Hey fusion cuisine is supposed to be the new buzz word right ? The bacon wrapped prawns were awful, the rice was insipid and the less said about everything else the better. Suffice to say Flora failed. The upside was dessert at Banyan tree after.

Quick food tips try the pizza appam at Soam. Gruesomely good. Also the malpuas there. Very very very awesome
