Nice Korean brunch at Rico, Grand Hyatt...Clockwise from left: Bulgogi, two types of Kimchi, pan fried fish and Spicy Korean Chicken... Spicy chicken was good, not that spicy. Even Kimchi was decent. And to wash it all down nice red wine.... And not to forget the noodles...

Doha gets one more pure vegetarian restaurant. Bombay. And yes it’s an Indian restaurant. It’s a small and neat place and serves all kinds of Indian chats and snacks. Not the proper dine out type restaurant more of a cafeteria type.The set meal in the afternoon is good. They have North Indian for QR15 and South Indian served in banana leaf for QR10. The samosas and alo vada (potato balls!) are

Saw Halloween pumpkins imported from US at LuLu hypermarket. Till now retailers were recreating Indian festivals here. Good to see other festivals coming into the market. More cultural integration is good. The biggie. It's around 30 odd per kilo I guess. Small ones r cheaper.

I don't know how many of you have heard of chef Nino Figus. If not heard before now is a good time to get to know him as he has opened a new restaurant at the Grand Heritage Hotel. What? you don't know where the hotel is? Okay, no probs... they r new and little low key... its a very grand and good looking hotel near Aspire, rather just behind Aspire. The first impression is very good, it looks

Hot Meals at a roadside joint in Andamans & Nicobar Islands, India. For some starnge reason they served rice on a paper (something like a kitchen tissue). Maybe easier to clean the plates later. The meal is nothing very elaborate - plain rice, potato curry, dal and a chilli.... but was very tasty and filling...

When I saw this dish on the menu in a Lankan restaurant, I thought it is Lamb Rice. Maybe they got the spelling wrong for a dish of rice and lamb..... but nooooo it is Lamprice - a Sri Lankan speciality. Actually the dish is nothing special.... its the packaging which makes it special.... It comes packed in banana leaf.... the leaf is roasted or rather heated over the flame... this gives a

many are asking how to get to the new restaurant... i underestimated the number of fans for sugar cane juice.... so here is the direction... enjoooyyy If you are going from C-Ring road cross Al Ahli hospital and take a U-turn from TV round about. Once you cross the Town Centre (KFC) take the service road and on your right hand side you will see the restaurant nested inside a block of buildings..

The dishes differ from state to state. The one pictured here is a typical Kerala

‘Search for the perfect Biryani’ has been a project close to my heart for a long time. Biryani has got a lot going into it. To achieve the right blend is not an easy task… hitting the right note every time you make it is bloody tough…To get it right once is not very tough, but consistency is the key. And to top it Biryani can be made in hundreds of ways. From ingredients to cooking method can

I’ve heard about drinks with worms inside the bottle...... But never got a chance to taste any ... so when a friend said a Mexican drink Mezcal is available in the local market... i decided to get one the next time i go booze shopping... But the chance to taste came much before as the same friend invited me over for a tasting session. When he bought the bottle, he didn't realise there is a worm

I chanced upon this site through a news article. I wonder how people come up with these ideas. It’s a cool site which lists pictures of cakes which are ‘wrecks’ and also funny… Some of them are hilarious; some make you think how people can be so foolish… You can spend a long time browsing thru these photos I am sure you will not feel bored. Great stuff… Readers can submit their cake wreck

Marriott Doha will kick off Malaysian and Indian food festival from August 8 and it will continue till Ramadan begins. Malaysian will be at the Asia Live restaurant and Indian at Taj Rasoi. It should be an okay okay fare as I am not much of a fan of Taj Rasoi. More because of the ambience. it feels like a normal room with a few tables and chairs thrown in. But their Mexican restaurant is good. I

Marrying food and wine is a much debated and discussed topic and its an art. Now marrying food and music is not something many people talk about. Just play anything as long as food tastes good... But playing the right music at the right time need some skill. Recently there was an article about the kind of music you shld play while exercising... Now here is a blog that marries food with music.

Mangolian BBQ in Al Sadd is our favourite joint nowadays.. Its fun … every time you end up making a different dish… There are two counters... one for salad and soup.  And another for meat and veggies. They will give you a tray with one big bowls and two small ones. In the big bowl you take the meat or fish. The choices are chicken, marianted chicken, beef, fish, prawns and squids. Then you top

I recently discovered this British summer drink. Sounds and smells nice. Got it last week, but got a chance to try it only yesterday. This ruby red drink passes the muster. I followed the instruction on the bottle and tried it with 7-UP. A generous helping of Pims topped with 7-up - tasted nice and soothing. This will be great as an afternoon drink. Slightly on the sweeter side. Alcohol

Pizza at one of my fav Italian joint - Italian job at Ramada Plaza. Its a very simple affair... soft, just a few toppings and easy on the palate. The singing waiters are the best thing at this place. But last visit was a disappointment on that front. For some reason they didn't perform... The fare is not too expensive... You get a pizza for around 50 bucks... slightly more than than the usual

Tried a new beer from Egypt: Stella Beer. It’s mild, easy to drink and tastes nice. Another good thing is that it comes in 500ml bottles. I am not a fan of small 330ml cans… No fun… you will need a case of them on a hot afternoon. Stella is available in both cans and bottle – small and big. Tried another Egyptian beer – Sakkara. Didn’t like it much. Was surprised to find beer freely available

Went to the recently opened Mongolian restaurant. Liked the idea of choosing what goes into your plate. You pick the meat, vegetable, sauces and even the spices. And the chef prepares it for you in a jiffy. I chose chilli sauce plus chilli powder plus pepper powder and ended up drinking gallons of water. Vinu's was much better.

There is Shrimp Season Festival going on at The Doha Marriott Hotel. The festival is on till March 27. Marriott does a decent job with their sea food buffet….

Recently checked out Sanjeev kapoor's Khasana... The food is good. I liked the Kebabs. The setting is okay and the service is very good. But its on the very expensive side. The menu is priced like a five star hotel, so value for money wise its average. But those who want to taste authentic - not watered down - Indian food should pay a visit. When they said the Kebab is spicy, it was spicy. And
