Beer is the Liquid Bread …….Ultimate Healthy Drink! Go for Budweiser…

Lately I was having talk about beer with few friends, they call it Zahrein AAp “water with terrible taste”….unfortunately we do not have many choices only left with Murree Classic along with regular, available in can as well as in bottle. Few of my friends are badly hooked to beer and they justify why all of us should drink, let’s read what they say; It is source of vitamin B, Barley & hops used in production, further, study suggest two drinks per day ensures greatest longevity. It aids against coronary heard diseases, reduces cholesterol, reduce risk of kidney stones, helps in reducing chromosomal damage from radiation exposure. Heavy drink may promote beer belly, abdominal obesity, increase heartburn, increase blood pressure, dehydration and hangover. Through this blogpost I just want to communicate to all my beer loving buddies, dude, it is probably good for you as long as its done in moderation….. Dude, also develop your taste and get hooked to best available brand, I would suggest, always go for following; Apart from Murree Classic, if you are abroad, do try Budweiser, Corona Extra, Heineken, Guinness, Coors Light, Miller Lite, San Miguel Pale Pilsen, Yuengling, Sam Adam or Sarajevsko Pivo…….any above would make your drinking special…. Have nice drinking day….

Sushi Addiction OMG

I thought my friend JOHN is hooked to Sushi, ofcourse Mona is another Sushi aficionado but when i read about Anne Hathways churning for Sushi, it was a big surprise for me.....

She is willing to get hooked to only one food rest of her life and that is Sushi. Here is the story

If Anne Hathaway had to eat just one food for the rest of her life, it would be sushi. The 25-year-old actress insists the dish is healthy and versatile. “You can prepare it in several different ways and it is so healthy,” says the star of ‘Devil Wears Prada’. About her second choice, the health-conscious Anne says, “I love broccoli with brown rice.”Anne was in celebration-mode this week as her ‘Get Smart’ beat other films at the US box office to become the largest grossing film of the weekend. The film beat stiff competition from the likes of Mike Myers’s ‘The Love Guru’, which was released at the same time, and the biggest box office draws of the previous two weeks ‘The Incredible Hulk’ and ‘Kung-Fu Panda’.

Going Italiano after Tokyo Drift

After adding eight kg weight, my friend John is running after me to put on more weight. Trick is simple; he wants me to try exotic global food more often.

Tonight we tried Japanese cum Italiano food, where else of course at Kozmo. I have already become die hard fan of thin crust cheesy Pizza, I tried Margarita Pizza with olive, chicken mushroom. You know what, I have become a big Paitooooo :P, believe you me, i had 8 pieces of regular pizza all alone along with appetizer.

Ufff so filling, thanks to 7 up with lime, I was envious to see foreigners enjoying their meal with chilled beer. John could get a chilled beer for me but for that he wants me to try Korean food...John, that is unfair :-(

John has become exotic he went ahead with Sashimi, Shaki sashimi prawns and abe maki sarada…whatever…..but I saw him enjoying his meal with soy and wasabi sauce and Japanese ginger.

But let me share, this was the yummiest pizza I have ever had, the best part was, we went inside the kitchen to ask the chef to make it in front of us and we also took some photos.

Wow, good thing is, we are making every bit of dine out a memorable experience…..dude it costs but worth it.

Aren’t you feeling hungry after reading my yummiest food talk;-)

Falling for Sushi & Wasabi Sauce

I have always been open to foreign food experiments, at times my friend call me “You & Your Exotic Things”.

Karachi is facing scorching heat; swimming is the only respite in humid summer. Few days back one of my gym friends “John” he is Pakistani but looks like a Russian, offered me to try Japanese food at Kozmo, Sheraton. Restaurant is just across the pool, where I was swimming, so hungry and desperate to try something Japanese after coming back form Tokyo.

My friend wanted to eat sushi and we sat on sushi counter but I wanted to try Tappanyaki ‘cooking food using iron griddle’ It is live and interactive cooking.

Shef was from Philippines, he prepared the counter for Tappanyaki, I tried meat Tappanyaki with rice and Japanese salad followed by Yakitori ‘ my love’.

Here come Sushi, my friend actually acquired the taste for raw fish but It was my first time, was struggling but excited. So far I have learned to eat with chopsticks but raw….hmmmm never been comfy.

When we received Sushi plate, looking really awesome. Sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes.

Finally I discovered that Sushi is basically vinegared rice and corrected my notion of raw seafood dish.

Initially I was struggling but when my friend asked me taste it with Wasabi and soy sauce ‘green bit bitter’ and with Japanese ginger…..taste was really awesome, simply different and delicious.

I also enjoyed the garlic with assorted breads……

One thing was missing the glass of Beer ‘its Pakistan my friend ….sighhhhh” otherwise it was fabulous.

Next experiment is the Korean food, going global with my friend as far as food is concerned….

Lets see what comes next…till then wait.. Kozmo guy handed me over pair of chopsticks to try at home for next time hehehe

Tappanyaki My Ultimate LOVE

More i eat more i need.....my feelings for Japanese food.....it is awesome to eat authentic Japanese Food in Lahore.........Fujiyama gives you the only choice of Japanese Food in Lahore.

Lahorites find it fascinating to eat Tippanyaki style of Japanese cooking and they are getting used to assorted Sushi and Raw fish, Tampura style of Japanese cooking etc. and enjoy eating these Japanese specialities with freshly made garlic rice with it.

So am i getting used to something different and something EXOTIC ;-)

Polo Lounge Food, Lums Graduate, Flag is Up Farm

Whenever i get fed up with studies, serenity and awesome food at Polo Lounge in Lahore energizes my vigor....its awesome to see horses and complete green calm in the middle of Lahore...simply great..

It is an amazing idea or brainchild of LUMS graduate Hina Khar and Asma Ramday....

To me Polo Lounge is a palate pleaser.

This is a place for people with discerning taste who can appreciate good quality food and (upscale) environment.” Not unexpectedly, the lounge is a regular haunt for polo players and socialites.

Whenever i go i always fall for dishes some of my favorites are ;

The saddle prawn, Stuffed chicken and the avocado and jocca cottage cheese salad (avocadoes, fresh button mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber, cottage cheese in Italian vinaigrette on a bed of Iceberg lettuce topped with jocca cottage and parmesan) .

Steaks are another hot seller. The carpetbag steak (classic fillet of beef stuffed with shitake mushrooms, onions and cheddar cheese served with béarnaise sauce)

The décor is just as delicious as food,the floor is dark mahogany and the bar a deep burgundy. Whole feel is simply comfy and cozy.

More i go more i miss the food....

This week there has been alot of talk about horses, i was surprised to hear the discussion in my LUMS class regarding the Flag is Up Farm "MAN WHO LISTENS TO THE HORSES (Top Corporate Executives Trained at the Horse Farm simply amazing) ...it is amazing to see the demo how a person communicates with wild horses and friendly body language breaks the horse and brings the intimate connection.....we humans simply forget the non verbal bodily gestures in our day to day connections with family and friends.
