Taftoon- Bar &Kitchen review

Tatftoon Derived from the Persian word meaning “burning” is a catchy name and foodies delights it’s non-Vegetarian offering are very delicious and it doesn’t disappoint you at all

The New restaurant in town was a mighty surprise from the Restauraner of Haqq Se and Oye Kake.A complete makeover in terms of the interiors. Very modern feel.The moment you step in,You wonder are you in an indian food restaurant or have you come to an Asian food restaurant.

The colour combination of the door with the green door and blue side walls is very appealing and welcoming the green tiles as soon as you enter are a good welcome.Could easily become the selfie wall .

The whole feel is warm and welcoming.

The food the Gulati Kebas served on coin parathas with banana leafs on the bottom is very delicious.

But,The signature dish here would be the chicken Harrisa. Small size Roti with stuffed chicken and Harrisa a must try.

We dream !!

We Dream It can bring out a steam.

The steam ,That takes us through different streams.

Streams that can make us go through extremes.

Extremes that make us scream,

Screams that don’t let us forget our dreams.

Brewing!!

one day,I had brewed  excessive french press for my morning breakfast and so,I decided to have some and refrigerate the rest and have it in evening.

Once,I was back in the evening,I had my ‘ColdBrew’ Little did,I know.On my trip to the states,this was the current trend.finding it hard to believe tried a couple of them from the starbucks,to THE Stok all these who were now marketing cold brew!! and while some of them tasted amazing with a twist of flavours added to them , some  tasted really bad.

But,the cold brew is surely a hit!!! for the ones looking out for coffee on the go.

Another coffee chain went a step further and introduced the ‘draft latte’ thats in simple terms cold latte.

simple ideas with an experiment.

Why do we not, experiment with the options we have ?

Pancakes in Paris!!!

Pancake in Paris- A journey of an American,Craig who fell in love with Paris.

Craig  Carlson  was a screenwriter in the past in Hollywood.

Books on Food,Chefs or lifestyle can hardly be read or imagined by one why? You couldn’t find something Better!! To read!!

But,Trust me This one book “pancake in Paris” was on my reading list for the last year and thank God !! I read it !! It’s a pleasant read to know the nuisance of the hospitality industry and how much ones goes through when one is living abroad and missing his food …It’s full of pain…But worth all the gains,The satisfaction one gets from living their Dream.

Pancake in Paris…Breakfast in America is about Craig’s journey of falling in love with Paris during his teens on an exchange programs and years later opening his diner ‘Breakfast in America.’Living the American dream in Paris is  the Yummiest read for me this year so far.

The book written in parts titled starters, Main Course and Desserts ,making the read an appetizing one .

Our Souls @Night !! Movie review …

The Movie Directed by Ritesh Batra,The Director Behind stories like “Lunchbox”& “The Sense of ending” adapted From the Novel”Sense Of Ending” by Julian Barnes.

“Our Soul at Night” another unusual story of relationship of Two widowed neighbors who are both lonely and develop an unexpected relationship ,in a small town in United States. The film stars Jane Fonda, playing the characters of Addie and Robert Redford playing the characters of Louis water as the lead.

OurSouls at night Is too  adapted from a novel written by Kent Haruf by the same name “OurSoulAtNight”.

The Movie seemed “To Good To be True”as its a very happy film.Unlike the novel that has moments of drama over dramatised.

The story when adapted as a film had alternations,That were very interesting to know , As they were suited for the film narration and screenplay.”Like the train toy used in the film instead of the rats that were used in the novel.”

The opening scene,straight away begins the story of , the two neighbours meeting and the story unfolds,immediately.

The story targets the relation amongst the senior citizen age that hasn’t been showcased much,And Is done in a very light, enjoyable way.

The movie Produced By NETFLIX, And premiered by JioMAMIFILMFEST with the Director Ritesh Batra,Part of Q&A Post screening was the highlight for movie buffs like me.

Our Souls @ Night is certainly, A Story you wouldn’t like to miss and from A director like Ritesh Batra…with whom You are always Surprised.
