At Jamjar Diner's on Friendship's Day



We visited Jamjar Diner's on the first Sunday of August, also known as the Friendships day, well whatever it is called we just need a reason to meet our friends. Due to it's increasing popularity the place was packed with guests that day. But we didnt budge either, since we had zeroed in on the location beforehand. We chose to wait our turn for about 20 minutes. 
There happened to be about a small area in the bar section next to the big black telephone. 


We ordered our craft beer of Gateway Brewery whilst we waited. I ordered for a White Zen while my partner went with a Doppelganger. He is already a huge fan of their beer. The drink was very refreshing, and I absolutely adored mine.

There was a huge turn up on that day,as it was a weekend. Friends and a lot of families were having a good time, while we were counting the minutes. Finally we got a place to sit upstairs. The terrace looked vibrant and inviting, and we got a corner table. However we were expecting another couple to join us, so we later got a bigger table inside. We ordered for a Pulled Pork Nachos to begin with, as a buffer dish till the other folks arrived.

Finally they did arrive, and four looked like a crowd on that table. We took a table inside, and looked out directly at the decor, the slanted cupboards, the Jukebox the place screamed fun from all angles. Even their menu, had a great many choices in cocktails and drinks. They ordered a Popcorn Mushroom, which came with a tangy dip.

Finally, for the mains we ordered a Juicy Lucy, Basil Pesto+Feta and Roasted Veggies,  BBQ Veggie and a Cuban Press. Food was good, and the time we spent was great. To be honest, I wanted the food to be better than what it tasted, because I had fallen in love with the ambiance so much. My Cuban press definitely lacked in seasonings and felt bland. Even the Pulled pork Nachos lacked in seasoning I felt. In fact I enjoyed the salad on the side more than the sandwich itself!

Some pictures are missing here. We had a couple of Jargaritas, which are famous in Jamjar. They were very flavorful fruit drinks and we ordered a repeat.

The place was pretty much empty by the time we called for the check. We thought of taking our picture only when all the food had been devoured. It was a day well spent.
I was happy with their beverages. I would probably come back to this place to sample a few other items from their menu.
                                   After the hearty meal- Samali, Mandar, Sumantra and me

Day trip to Pompei from Rome!

Italy for travelers is like a  treasure trove! There is so much to see and absorb that time falls short. Southern Italy is known for it’s beauty- the Amalfi coast , Naples and the Island of Capri are gorgeous and cannot be missed. And in the heart of all of this, lies the 2000 year old ruins of a city named Pompei. Of course we have all heard of Pompei, of the thriving Roman city of ancient times which succumbed to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D. and the city with it’s people were buried under ash and rock. This allowed for an exceptional preservation. Although the excavations are still underway, what we get to see are marvels in architecture and art. For a traveler who has planned a few days in southern Italy, Pompei would be easily accessible. All you need to do is reach the Circumvesuviana (which is a circular train line) that runs around Naples to Sorrento. It will take you there. On the other hand for travelers (like us) who have largely planne...

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack.                                           Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
