About Me

delishdirection

When the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro fo When the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro founded #Lima in 1535, he chose to call it 'Ciudad de los Reyes' or 'City of the Kings', since its foundation coincided with the Catholic feast of Epiphany or Three Kings' Day. 

Today, this vibrant city shows off its rich colonial past, with stunning architecture and historic landmarks that transport you back to its royal beginnings. But it's also a modern metropolis that boasts a thriving arts scene, stunning oceanfront views, and a food culture that has garnered global recognition.

Amadeo by Oberoi launched their new menu last week Amadeo by Oberoi launched their new menu last week, and I was invited for a tasting. Their concept of four cuisines — Indian, Japanese, Italian, and Chinese — continues but each section has new dishes to try. 

Some stand-outs include:
- Amadeo salad with avocado, edamame, rocket, and quinoa
- DIY Hoisin tofu bao
- Absolutely stellar sushi (veg & non-veg) and hamachi carpaccio with avocado tartare and sambai sauce
- Truffle tadka dahi kebab
- Truffle seekh kebab
- Burrata pizza with cherry tomatoes and olive tapenade 🤌🏼🤌🏼
- Mango tres leches, which is vegan
- Chocolate geode, which is gluten-free and sugar-free (but not taste-free!)

Drop in at @amadeobyoberoi at @nmacc.india and try these out #TheAmadeoExperience #hosted #delisheats

Caviar beignet anyone? This and more at the recent Caviar beignet anyone? This and more at the recently opened @sobotwenty, which brings Franco-American flair to the @intercontinental.marinedrive. There's sukat on chicken skin toast, cobb salad with chicken floss, lobster gumbo fried rice, and other fun (and delicious) experiments by @chefsudeepkashikar. It's all about the bold flavours of the American South coupled with French finesse and just a touch of coastal magic. The bar helmed by @lazzybarboy also serves up some interesting French-American cocktails. 

This is the first foray into #Mumbai for @atelierhousehospitality and @panchalimahendra (who also run IINJA in Delhi and other restaurants across the Middle East, US, and Turkey). They've partnered with @romilratra's Graviss Hospitality to give the city a taste of something different and unexpected. The Marine Drive location can't be beat either!

If it feels like every other new restaurant in Ind If it feels like every other new restaurant in India is Japanese, you're not imagining things — Japan is clearly the flavour of the season.

I explored the trend for @ellegourmetindia by speaking with several chefs and restaurateurs, and of course by trying out many of these new restaurants ( it's a tough job, I know!)

Hanoi eats, sips, and birthday scenes! I rarely a Hanoi eats, sips, and birthday scenes!

I rarely accept media trips on my birthday, but I made an exception this year for Hanoi coz I love the city, and I'm so glad I did. 

I spent four wonderful days across two hotels — at @sheratonhanoi right by the massive West Lake and at the très luxe @jwmarriotthanoi about 30 minutes from the old quarter. Not only did the Marriott team put together a well-curated press trip but they also made my birthday special 🩷

 Here's just a glimpse of what I got up to. Thanks @saadhvimehra for organising this #hosted #delishtravels
