FALL IN LOVE WITH VEGETARIAN STREET STYLE FOOD - The Cake Bucks, Pitampura


THE CAKE BUCKS, PITAMPURA

When it comes to vegetarian food, people usually think about leafy greens and bland proteins and stuff of peasants and slaves. (HOW DO VEGETARIANS EVEN BREATH THE SAME AIR AS MEAT EATERS?!) Especially in the northern areas of Delhi, in Pitampura, NSP or Shalimar Bagh, every vegetarian outlet has to offer something that sets them apart. 

One particular outlet in Pitampura is changing the veg game by serving up some brilliantly inspiring dishes including kebabs, gravy momos, Bombay style chaat and house-made icecreams and shakes! The Cake Bucks, located in Pitampura, is a family style baked goods and confectioners shop. It also has some street food and chaat counters outside with tables to eat at.



The prices are very minimal and pocket friendly when compared to other big names like Haldirams or Bikanervala. The food they offer is simple vegetarian streetfood with some innovation. We went in wanting to try a selection of dishes and couldn't help but order from every spectrum of the world! We're globetrotters here!

From Bombay we had the Stuffed Gol Gappas which were THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. And there is no doubt that these were amped up with some sort of magic-drug that made me fall in love with food all over again. Topped off with pickled ginger and kachaloo, these MASSIVE Gol Gappas were brilliant.


From the North of India, we had the Roomali Roti and Kathi Kebab which were easily comparable to Chicken Tikka Masala and Roomali. The fresh made roomali was soft and perfectly complimented the spicy, juicy, succulent Kathi Kebabs, which were to die for on their own. Oh, how I wish there was a pool of these Kathi Kebabs so I could dive in and eat my way to the other side. Damn.


From the orient, we had the Gravy Momos which were definitely not your usual gravy or cocktail momos around. The momos themselves were massive and flavoursome. If you don't like the gravy, you can order them steamed or fried. THEY WERE JUST SO GOOD. But the highlight was definitely the gravy, which was a combination of sweet, spicy, tangy and had a bite to it with some textural elements. The gravy was at par with the kathi kebabs! AAH, WHAT DO I FILL MY POOL WITH?!


Finally, gracing our Italian connections, we orderede the Cheesy Garlic Bread served with Cheese Dip. They bake their own garlic bread which is packaged and stored to be sold within their store too. There are multiple options of breads and baked items for you to choose from! However, they do double bake the garlic bread, his time with cheese and italian seasoning on top. This looked extremely heavy but were in reality very light. The cheese on top and the dip had a nice richness to it and the garlic bread was buttery and crispy!


The Cake Bucks in Pitampura has definitely changed the Vegetarian Game with it's innovative dishes and some brilliant street food. They also have shakes and icecreams which are great as well. The rates are right up a college student's budget and the food is definitely worth it.

PATTA CAFE, CHAMPA GALI   Patta Cafe is hidden away in the most scenic of places that Delhi has to offer, Champa Gali. It's a beautiful cafe with loads of colors to boast. The open area outside the door is perfect for Instagram worthy content as well! As soon as you enter, the vibe calms you down. It's like you've been transported to some hillside café in the North Eastern foothills. The decor, the music, the food, Patta Cafe is all about the roots! Their menu justifies the same. They have a variety of cuisine including Tibetan, Naga, Bhutanese and Chinese. I would like to take this moment to first mention Tenzin, the friend of the owner who waited our table at Patta Cafe. He was the sweetest server possible. He suggested we try some of the more authentic dishes that they had to offer. So we went with what he suggested. We went for the Tsampa Shake, which I did not try at Ama Cafe in Majnu Ka Tila because they said it's made from wheat. But here I went with w

THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC - Ministry of Beer: Review

Image
MINISTRY OF BEER, GURGAON They say magic isn't real. They say it's only fables that have kept us believing in this fantasy. I say, you haven't been to Ministry of Beer in Sector 29, Gurgaon yet. It was just the two of us again, my cousin and I, and the next spot on our venture-list was indeed, the biggest property in Gurgaon, Ministry of Beer. Their branch in Connaught Place, the biggest there, hosts a human-sized Bumblebee (the Transformer) which was enough to get me excited about my visit to the one at Gurgaon! But it was a complete overhaul in the experience. From a ravage party based ambience to the one in Connaught Place, the one here had the best of both worlds. A delicate balance between the hip and the heavenly. THE AMBIENCE As soon as you enter the commercial complex at Sector 29, you're in complete awe of the establishments in the vicinity. From My Bar HQ, Molecule Air Bar to the towering Ministry of Beer. There is an aura abou
