Reasons for the silence

Hey... After a long time....
couple of reasons for the silence... a. Our office moved to Turbhe (read.. wilderness) No more lunch outings! b. I'm on kind of a diet... trying to lose the extra 2-3 inches!
Therefore, there has not been much activity on the restaurant hopping front!
Until last Thursday, that is.....
We've been doing a bit of explorations in the Vashi-Sanpada area!
Couple of disappointments... Bombay Blue/Noodle Bar at Center One seems to have disappeared! And as we just discovered today, the Kobe Sizzlers place at Sagar Vihar in Vashi closed down almost 6 months back!!!
So lunch on Thursday was at The Creek at the Abbott Hotel in Sector 1, Vashi.... very good food... great ambiance. For once, there were new vegetarian Punjabi dishes on the menu (or at least they had new names). I had the Veg Ujala... rather yellow, but very nice. The Sesame Veg Seekh Kabab (the zero-oil variety) was amazing as well. All in all a very satisfying afternoon..

Today was another story! After the Kobe episode..we were quite dashed! Couldn't really look for new places so we decided to go to Chenab for Punjabi food again. Its right above where Kobe used to be and we've been there a couple of times before a few years back, but we did remember that it was pretty good.
But this time round..... um i guess we would bring our rating down by 2 stars from the original 3.5! Service was slow, the electricity went off (not really their fault), few flies were bothering us, food was only OK. I had the Veg Biryani and Raita. Can't really go very wrong with those! But the Gulab Jamun was horrible, yes... horrible! And it all took very long!

On that note... I hope for some yummy sandwiches for dinner at home :) Can't wait!

Cheers, people.....
