Ho Chi Minh Vietnam Food Journey

Ho Chi Minh or Saigon hits you with a scattering of mopeds, taxis, small shops, eateries, and simple people, with a huge language barrier. You would think that English would be their first language, however apart from being left hand drive, and a coffee drinking nation: there are no traces of being ruled by an English speaking country, or they have consciously eliminated any traces of ghoulish American invasion. However, despite the chaos, and communication barrier, the city makes you feel at home! My food journey in this capital city of Vietnam, left my taste buds ever so refreshed, and wanting more. Here's a very quick tour of where we ate and what we ate. But before we begin let me tell you that Ban Minh, and the Bun are not the only things this country has to offer. Before I went I read a lot of blogs, and all they mentioned were the buns. To tell you the truth, we didn't even have the Bun as our first meal, as there are loads of other better, healthier, opti...

Vada-Pav- The good old Indian Burger!

I cant say enough about this extremely popular snack in India especially in the state of Maharashtra. Vada paav, Pav Wada, Batata Vada are just different names for the same dish, where the Vada means a Potato Patty in the shape of a ball and Pav means dinner bun or burger bun. The minute I land at Mumbai airport, and smell the familiar air, I start craving for a vada pav . And as you would have it, on the drive home if you stop at a diner or a gas station with a fast food joint alongside, you can order a vada pav with some cutting chai (which is basically chai tea served in a small glass) and you are Home!! Every morning, thousands of commuters in Mumbai, get off the trains and have a vada pav for breakfast. And yes they do this every-single-day. It is cheap, filling, quick and so tasty, that it has just become the staple breakfast item for all fast paced Mumbaikars . The reason why people have started calling it an In...

Fat Labrador Cafe - A unique find in a bustling city like Pune!

It’s been six months since I relocated from Melbourne to Pune, and as I am slowly getting a hang of things in India, getting my confidence back, being fearless while crossing the road, having all my senses on high alert at all times, the one thing that I have been on the lookout for is GOOD COFFEE. Now everyone’s definition of good coffee varies, but since I am a self-proclaimed coffee snob , good coffee for me means the name of the coffee should match the actual drink served. So, if it’s a cappuccino it can’t be a latte, an espresso can’t be a long black, you catch the drift. Now India is predominantly a Chai or Tea loving country, so there are chai lounges, tapri’s (around the corner shops), tea cafes everywhere, that serve all varieties of tea. Coffee is still just an item on the menu, at most of the restaurants and cafes, to tick the box. So, if you see Coffee on the menu, it means a packet of instant coffee, mixed with hot milk and served with or without sugar, as...

Naan Roti or Bread

Fresh home made naan in 30 mins. Naan roti or bread Ingredients: 2 Cups Plain or All-purpose flour (Maida) 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Sugar 1 packet or 3 tsp. Rapid rise yeast ½ Cup Plain or Greek Yogurt Oil for brushing ¾ Cup warm milk Method: In a large bowl mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, yogurt and milk in a large bowl. Knead to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Apply some oil & make it into a smooth round ball. Place in the same bowl & brush the top with some oil. Keep it covered with a cling film or a dry kitchen towel in a warm place. For me it is usually my oven or microwave without turning it on. After 30mins the dough would have risen well. Toss it out on a clean, floured surface. Oil your palms & start kneading the dough again & divide it into 10 equal sized balls. Heat a flat pan on the stove & line a baking sheet with some foil. Take some plain flour & flatten the balls & start rolling with a rolling pin. You...

To Mum, With Love...

I LOVE YOU MAMMA!!! Copyright@nnd I was thinking of recipes that my Aai (Mum) likes, you know for mother’s day. I did not want to call and ask her what was her most favorite dish, now I should know this right! So I spent a few minutes thinking about it and then it came to me…Banana bread and Jalebi . Yes those are her favorites as far as I remember. For some reason savory foods are not something she is particular fond of, except kachori from her college days. Well to think about it both these choices kind of make sense. I always associate a person’s favorite food with their personality and these two desserts reflect her personality so well. Her love is like banana bread, when in doubt always order that, it will fill you up and make you happy. And on the other hand, she is twisted like a jalebi, no one can truly figure her out, but she is drenched with sweetness and uniqueness that no one else can compete with.

Slice Cake from My Childhood

Do you guys remember the Monginis slice cake that was available back in India? It was one of the most delicious little thing that I used to love, as I never liked the frosting or icing on cakes. I still don't have a sweet tooth, unlike Mr. N, so for me cakes like these are perfect treats. I was having coffee one day at home, and I wanted something with it. Of course if you live or have been to Australia, you will know Tim Tam's work perfectly with a cuppa, but I wasn't looking for anything chocolaty. That's when my taste buds went back to the Monginis Slice Cake....Yellow with Brown borders, nicely sealed in small packets, ready to go. So I Googled and found a few recipes, experimented with a couple & I think I am ready to share it with all you foodies. Once I made it I was so happy & smug that I know I will be making this for my kids and it will be my signature cake, the same way I associate time spen...
