*New Cuisine Alert*

If you are a regular reader of the blog: Firstly, Thank you for your support. It is because of you, that we get the motivation to write on.

Secondly, you must be aware that we love to try out new kinds of food and write about them!

So, this post is all about the ongoing Rajasthani Food Festival at M Café, Marriott Whitefield, Bangalore. Although we have tried Rajasthani food before, we have never a part of a complete experience.

We have been to M Café before for other festivals but this festival is different from the others: the food is actually authentic & one of the best food festivals we have experienced.

For those who are well versed with this type of cuisine, we recommend visiting by the 6^th of April as the festival ends on this day. Whereas for people like us who do not have much of a clue but are willing to experience: this is a golden opportunity!

We had the pleasure of interacting with Maharaj Bhik Singh, a special chef from Marriot Jaipur who gave us a walkthrough of all the items. We’ll be talking about the highlights only. There was nothing worth complaining about as everything was perfectly executed. The only thing one needs to be careful about is that there are certain items which are an acquired taste & the first hit on the palate might not be a pleasing one!

So, now about the food:

Pan fried noodles with krapao, fried egg and nori leaves

There are a few types of cuisine which are so vast that the possibilities are endless.

So, this time we are going to talk about an ongoing Pan Asian Food Festival with such endless possibilities at Nook, The Aloft Bengaluru Cessna Business Park. This was our first time at Aloft and the experience is definitely worth talking about.

Since Pan Asian has massive variety, the Exec Chef Sandeep Kumar has tried various combinations so in all probability if we try out the same festival any other day all the dishes won’t be the same.

Assortment of Sushi's

The festival runs till the 24^th so since there is not much time left, we won’t talk about the food in detail but just a short overview of what one should look out for.

There were a number of items which were served only to us, apart from the buffet.

From the starters section:

Sushi

As we have mentioned before, our love for food has no bounds. From A to Z we are always willing to try everything but there are certain cuisines which are not easily available and are extremely difficult to pull off.

One of these cuisines is Japanese and our recent experience at Edo, the in house award winning Japanese Resto-Bar in ITC Gardenia, Bangalore was nothing short of brilliant. One of the finest places for food & luxury, ITC Gardenia does not need an introduction.

So, normally these luxury dining restaurants are open only for dinner but now Edo is open for luncheons as well. We tried out their authentic Japanese Obento concept.

This format is perfect for business gatherings as the entire meal comes in one go, so no waiting for each item to come. The dessert is served separately though.

We tried the Non veg Obento at Edo and it is undoubtedly the best Japanese food experience we have had till date!

There were specially handcrafted menus for everyone and they contained all the information about the items present in the Obento.

All the preparations were fresh and crafted to perfection. The colour, the presentation, the taste and the ambience is guaranteed to elevate you to a different level!

So do good things always come in small packages?

Well, not always but in this case it sure does but in a slightly different way: The “Little” way!

If something costs 100 units (in this case INR) and you can get it for much less, would you take it? We sure will and this is where little comes into the picture.

If deals are what you are looking for, this is the place to look for. There are of course other portals/apps/websites but this little guy has overtaken all of them, the simple reason being that they offer the best deals!

We use the little app just because it is convenient but they also have a web version. They have deals ranging from F&B, Spas & Salons, Things to do & Hotels.
