Coastal Indian cuisine at Mangoes

It had been long since we had eaten at a Goan or Mangalorean restaurant. These coastal cuisines can be a delightful treat. So I was surfing through the internet one day, when I came across this quaint little place in Malad. Now that is really far from where I stay, but I kept a mental note of trying it out when we plan to head that side.
And so that day came along a month or so later. We had a little difficulty finding the place, as the restaurant’s signage could not be located from the road while driving. It is a small rooftop eatery. But it has its loyals, even on a late weeknight people had come over to dine there.
We were quite hungry by then and we began by ordering a plate of Spicy Squid batter fry, and Pork Chops BBQ.

The squids were very good, they went well with the dip. Also the Pork chops were delish. Full of spices and cooked to a nice brown hue. The quantity was humongous. We were instantly doubtful, as we had come a long way and wanted to sample a few other dishes as well and looking at the quantity it looked daunting from where we stood. Nevertheless, we were ready to conquer any challenge that night :)

Next we ordered for a plate of Beef tongue roast and a Stuffed Chicken breast Combo meal, which comes with a spiced rice and sauteed vegetables. I particularly enjoyed the Stuffed chicken. It was a lovely dish, with a cheese and chili filling. With the vegetables and rice, it was delectable. The Beef tongue was good too, again with a heap of quantity, and at such economical price.

 Last but not the least, was their dessert for the day which the owner suggested we should try. A Caramel custard, one which I adored. It  felt like the perfect dessert to have after that meaty dinner.

This place is a must visit, well at least once for all the meat lovers. It has some great food, a lovely ambiance (also breezy the night we visited). The owners will visit you at your table and interact with you, sometimes even serve you. Had I stayed closer, I would have planned my next trip by now and/or even ordered in.

The bad ass buffet at Global Fusion!

I have been to Global Fusion over eight times and I confess that till date I have never been able to taste all the dish on their menu. Such is the 'vastness' of their buffet! The very first time that we had been to this place, we were in for a surprise with this vast spread, but we learnt this soon enough and for our forthcoming trips we have been relatively prepared, because one cannot be fully prepared for this vast array of Asian food choices. Everything on their menu card happens to be on display, and one can order this together or in portions, for a fixed per head cost. Most of everything that they have on display are interesting options and good and the place is good value for money!  View from our Table 29 at Global Fusion Their display includes a Sushi counter. But my favorite is the Baked Prawn with Cheese and the Prawn Tempura. My husband is very fond of their Prawn Tempura and the Iceberg chicken. Their Tempura’s are perfectly crispy on the outside and m...

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...
