Ah, Ambrosia!

Hey folks!

Been too busy piggin' out to write about it!! ;) 

For a few months now we've been frequently taking a pit-stop at this small, cozy, easily-overlooked place in Chembur, that calls itself Ambrosia Bakery. 

We had spied it along the way but never thought of stopping, until one day when the stomachs were growling so loud that the people around us wondered if there was something wrong with their car!

So, being a veggie and a spinach-lover, I picked up the spinach, corn and cheese sandwich that they warmed up slightly for me... The first bite in and I was so pleasantly surprised at the yumminess, that I had a smile on my face for the next hour!! Got reminded of the creamed spinach at various places in USA.

Over the days, we have tried various things there... even taken stuff home... some of them being:

The veggie sandwich, veggie turnover, chicken cup (which I am told is absolutely amazing), garlic chicken sandwich, veggie burger (a bit dry.. could do with mayo, ketchup), veggie pasta (yummm), tiramisu (wow!), paneer tikka sandwich (could pass), chocolate croissant, apple pie (very very very good).

What I keep wanting to try is the dome pastry... looks very intriguing, yet extremely sinful!

Maybe, the next time....

Bon Appetite, people!

Lunches and Dinners Galore

So yeah, I've been so busy eating out that I didn't have time to write all these days....
Some highlights:
We had dinner at Caravan Serai, Bandra. I give it 11 stars out of 10! Absolutely brilliant Indian food. If someone offers to take you there... follow blindly! Slightly heavy on the wallet but all worth it.
Then there was dinner at Golden Orchid, Bandra... with kids and all... Great food (this, coming from someone whose not much of a Chinese food fan). But the best part was that they gave us a room of our own that could hold about 12 people, so we didn't have to keep shushing the kids or anything. Great experience overall!!
Hmmm lemme see now... too many places to remember.
Street food... Not to miss frankies at Quality Store on Linking Road, Bandra.
Had some Sev Puri at Ram and Shyam in a little by-lane in Santacruz.... He's really famous there.
Then there were the tempting Dosas at Manju Dhosa on 16th Road, Khar (This is the new look of Mani's Dosa)..... Awesome as usual.
I think I've eaten out this month more than I've eaten out in the past year!!! Unbelievable.
Oh yeah... there was a lunch at Subway sometime in the middle... I was thrilled to see a Veggie Patty listed in their menu... but alas, they only had the Aloo Patty for me.... Have yet to come across a Veggie Patty in Mumbai's Subways.
Then one day we get home Sandwiches from Sandwizza in Santacruz Market. Was totally impressed by the professionalism of this little shack on the side of the road. Their packaging was amazing..... Truly international quality. The sandwiches are obviously absolutely amazing as well.
If I've missed something I'll come back and write it.....
Till then....
