Mocha Cafe & Bar - Ladies night!


Tell me what can possibly happen when three cheery and chattery women meet after a long time..
Well one of the possibilities is that they  turn the place around into a loud and happy hangout :) One of our last rendezvous went something like that. It was a Friday night, so spirits were high in general, we wanted to check out a place where we hadn’t been to before, somewhere where there would be music but not loud enough for us to catch up.


So, we headed to Mocha cafe in Mumbai at R city mall, which was conveniently located for all of us. We opted for the sit out area, which was bright and decorated with comfy couches and lodged ourselves on one of the couches. We ordered our Chenin Blanc and The Non- Vegetarian platter because we were all hungry after a long day. One can  select 4 mini dishes in the platter, from the menu options in veg/ non-veg platter. We went with Hot Tennessee style chicken wings, Nut crusted fish fingers, Moroccan meat balls, Chicken Bruschetta. My personal fave was the Bruschetta which was filling and flavored well.



After some time, and some more wine, we moved into the air conditioned area, not only was the decor very characteristic but it also had couches and rocking chairs put together in the seating area! :) So we plonked ourselves there, and began ordering for the main course.



 We went with  Poutine with Mushroom and Corn toppings, and a Chicken Fiesta pizza  with some more helping of wine. I didnot quite enjoy the Pizza, as the Pizza base was not freshly baked. Chances are they are not made from scratch. But the pizza toppings, and the Poutine was definitely fresh and all good.


Gradually the night matured into a  warm and boozy event of laughter, chatter and merriment. We had a great time here.
I would give this place a Go!

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...

Hello Folks,  An entire year has come to an end, and so has our hiatus! We begin this year with a great deal of anticipation for travel. Year 2016 will be a world of new experiences, adventure and thrill. We shall share the list for 2016 very soon, but before that let's take a look at the best trails of 2015 from the various listings on travel for 2015 and get our batteries charged!! So here goes..
