CHEW - PAN ASIAN CAFE, CONNAUGHT PLACE

 Connaught Place, the heart of the National Capital Region, hosts a number of beautiful places to eat at. However, with a plethora of pubs, lounges and bars, the simplicity of the beautiful Circular Marvel, that is Connaught Place, is lost. But Chew, a pan asian cafe, maintains this beauty with its pastel colors and vibrant natural lighting. The neutrality of the colors at Chew make it a brilliant place to dine in during the day as well as the night.

AMBIENCE AND SERVICE

 The service at Chew is very friendly, the stewards always smile and are more than happy to help you. They're clad in black, like ninjas, waiting to strike with chopsticks and soy sauce.

The place itself is pretty big, with two sections which are clearly visible in the cafe. One, near the inlet of light at the windows. This section is bright and appeals to all natural light lovers. It has grey/white/off-white tones to the tables and walls. There are also swing-chairs as single seaters for you to relax in. The place, in all, is very natural and reminds you of all the anime series you've seen online or on Animax. Very cool, very minimal, very kawaii.

Plenty of Natural Light
The other half of the cafe has a very hip, club-esque feel to it. Dark interiors with LEDs running across the wall. The vibe of the place in that section is completely polar to what the rest is. This is right infront of the kitchen, which the customers can see as well.

THE FOOD

 Chew specializes in Pan Asian cuisine and has a menu built around the asian-oriental theme itself. The menu is designed to take you around the orient and they do a fantastic job at that. The dishes are refined and the service matches the items. The dips presented range from various spice levels and flavours and are good enough for you to customise your food.

For starters, we ordered the Honey Chicken and Chicken Satay. The Honey Chicken was a safe option to go with, given that the streets serve a very localized version of the same. And it did not disappoint either. The size of the chicken chunks was great, as well as the sauce that went with it.

Honey Chicken
The Chicken Satay was chicken skewers cooked in a thick peanute sauce served with more peanut dipping sauce. The chicken was cooked beautifully well but the penut sauce seemed a little overpowering. The dip as well as the coating was a little too much.
Chicken Satay

Next up was the Chicken Teriyaki California Roll as suggested by one of the stewards. To be honest, this was one of the better sushi rolls I've had anywhere. The rice was cooked well, the chicken was flavoursome and the sesame seeds on top provided a nice textural contrast to the same. The brilliantly sized sushi was a real filler!

Chicken Teriyaki Sushi
To quench my thirst, I got the classic Iced Tea and the thickest Canolli Oreo Shake ever. The shake was perfect for the summers, and the thickness was totally on point. The Iced Tea was done well too, with the tingling sensation it sent down my spine. Hot Damn, good drinks!

Drinks For Days

We were already filled up to the brim, with food-babies trying to come out of our bellies, we ordered the Darsan and the Banoffee Pie.  The Darsan consists of fried flat noodles, topped with honey and served with vanilla icecream. A dessert that was not overly sweet and the play with temperatures made it the perfect dessert. The portion, however, was too big! Never thought that'd be a problem. 

Darsan toh karte jao
The Banoffee Pie was not the end that I was expecting. The pie tasted more like caramelized bananas and cream than an actual pie. The darsan was amazing, the pie was average.

THE VERDICT

In conclusion, Chew - Pan Asian Cafe in Connaught Place is a beautiful place with decor and food to hold its ground. The place serves beautiful asian food and the ambience is perfect for a dinner or lunch date. I'm sure to visit again!

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

LIT BAR AND RISTORANTE, GK3 Greater Kailash 3, or Masjid Moth, is the lesser known cousin of the other GKs. is the posh one. Not that GK1 or GK2 are any less, but my God, is GK3 beautiful. With restaurants like Mainland China, The Velvet Room and LIT, GK3 is a very well hidden treasure. Talking about modern, sharp and abstract beauty, LIT Bar and Ristorante fits right in! You're welcomed by sharp edges on the exterior and a wall with microherbs and plants that spell out LIT.

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
