Bloggers Meet: Wokamama, Gurgaon

This Friday, we a bunch of food bloggers/bloggers from Delhi were hosted by 'Wokamama', a pan Asian restaurant in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR.

I will like to share some visuals from that afternoon who treated my taste buds really well and I hope to share the specialties of each platter posted below in a separate blog-post sometime later.

 To start with 'Sate Lilit Ayam'

'Salmon Nigri and Tuna Nigri'

'Prawn Tempura'

'Vegetable Tempura'

The deadly Green Chili Mix... though it looks like a sweet dish, tastes just opposite. Put a pinch in the mouth and it punches back in 5 seconds.

Squids anyone!! 'Butter Pepper Garlic Squid'

This has a fantastic aroma... 'Chicken Tom Kha Soup'

My first time ever... Raw Papaya as major ingredient in 'Sum Tham Salad'

'Chicken Pesto Salad' for Non-vegetarians...

Every other stuff which were keep coming uninturuptedly was just brilliant. And the next one was just something that I never expected beyond Odia and bengali food... Shallow fried Fish roasted in a banana leaf wrap, and of course with a Thai touch. It was totally different in taste and not to mention, it was really good.

Another delicious stuff... 'Pla Pad Karcha'

 'Chinese Sticky Rice'

'Guilin Egg Plant'

Also some 'Indonesian Fish'

After being stuffed with all these delicacies, all one can expect is just something very little for the sweet buds. But to our surprise, the trail was not over. The Chef came walking with a greeny greeny noodles, and it hardly impressed me with the looks, and I almost decided to skip it. So damn wrong i was... with the request from Mr. Singh, I had a tea spoon of this 'Green Curry Noodles with Basil'. It was enough to reactivate my taste buds, and I almost ate half of what you are seeing in the image below :D

 So here is the Show-Stopper... 'Green Curry Noodles with Basil'

With much hesitation, every-one just agreed to taste two of the signature desserts from the Wokamama kitchen. And to our utter surprise, everything happily managed to get stuffed in our stomach ;)

Mr. Singh explaining us the secrets of 'Coconut Pan Cake'...

I am not at all a fan of coconut, but this was delicious enough to break the jinx. The tender coconut stuffing is little sweeter and was just perfect to me.

And the last bite... 'Mocca Rage' with coffee ice-cream.

And the Group, who contributed to a really good time. Cheers everyone.

Bloggers Meet: Food Bloggers meet at Wokamama, Gurgaon

'Wokamama' did organize a food bloggers meet today over Lunch... Had really a good time with finger licking food (watch out the space for some delicious visuals :p) and also had an interesting intellectual food-knowledge session. Thanks a lot for invitation.

The detailed post to follow soon :)

Dinner Time (Dissertation Special)

Hardly 7 days left for the final submission and it seems, submitting the dissertation is only priority in life for the moment. Rather I should say, it feels like the last wish before the world ends... It never hurts to work hard, neither 'm complaining, but when you are near the finishing line and could not progress as if you are paralyzed, then it hurts... Instead, there was a progress in the kitchen today as well as a quicky date with my 'Canon' Love.

Boiled vegetables (Green Peas, Carrot, Green Beans and Sweet Corn Kernels) with lemon juice and freshly ground black paper, salt of course... Some healthy diet ;)

You know, while eating I realized, I should have added some cauliflower to it which was already there in the freezer. It would be just representing our 'TRI Color' then. Did you ask how it tested!!! Delicious, I should say... Tastes way better than everyday curry or pizza meal. A special thanks to my flatmates Stavroula and Myrsini for introducing this to me. Thanks Gurlz :)

Enjoy your life, see you soon at the other end :)
Love.

The 5 AM 'Pasta'

A strange feeling forced to spoil a beautiful dream that I was feeling like seeing since ages... and it was a real hangover as I took quite sometime to switch on the light, it was too difficult to manage the orientation of my room. Almost injured with few collisons with my beige colored wall, edge of the bed and even the only chair, with this, my cozy 8x15 room became the worst nightmare for a while. To be true I was wondering where 'm I exactly.... in my room back in Orissa, the rented accomodation in Delhi, in flight or in Hospital... huh, every odd thing came to mind.

Anyways, finally I manages to gain my sense. And then starts the adventure. It again was a hectic task to find the reason why did I wake-up at 4.40 in the morning, and the hunger found to be guilty. Tried to put some pressure on mind just to remember what I ate during the 40 hour long day... but could not, so time for hunting.

A complete 15 minute gaze and through scanning of the fridge and absolutely nothing 'ready to eat' except a Chicken Pizza from Tesco which was lying in one deserted corner of the freezer since ages..... The so turned vegetarian in me was so arrogant in this war like situation that it forced me to open the cup board to find something interesting... And here Pasta came in rescue. Chopped onions and a thick white sauce coated Pasta was a real delight to have at 5.30 in the morning before going back to bed only to complete the 2 days pending quota. But while having food it I was thinking, what should this be termed as, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner!!! Nah, the '5 am Pasta' can only be the stuff to 'Survive'....

P.S. Kitchen panic like me!!! Do mail to get FREE survival tips :D
