About Me

For mum's 70th birthday earlier this month, my bro For mum's 70th birthday earlier this month, my brother and I booked a family staycation at Trident Nariman Point, #Mumbai.

We chose the club rooms with ocean view mainly because they offer guaranteed late check-out till 6pm. But the other inclusions were pretty sweet too, such as high tea and cocktail hours in the club lounge, and complimentary minibar (snacks and soft beverages). 

We had great views of Marine Drive and the Arabian Sea from our rooms, the service was warm and friendly, and the staff made my mum's day extra special with a big bouquet of roses! Loved our experience at @tridentnarimanpoint, would definitely recommend.

On my week-long road trip from San Francisco to Lo On my week-long road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, California’s scenic Central Coast offered many memorable moments, from driving the iconic Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) to hiking amidst the redwoods in Big Sur to sunset cruising in Santa Barbara. But what surprised me the most was the thriving wine scene along the coastline. 

I visited several wineries and met passionate winemakers who are upping the game and producing some excellent wines. Obviously, I drank quite a bit of wine too, but then,  I take my 'research' seriously 😁🥂

Find out more about this coastal wine destination in my feature for @zeezest, link in bio #published (thanks @anannya_13)

These Paris restaurants are serving food and views These Paris restaurants are serving food and views 😍🤌🏼

On my recent visit to the City of Lights, I had several fab meals, but there was one thing in common — all of them came with a fantastic view! Featured here:

- @cafe_marly at @museelouvre overlooking the famous glass pyramid (1 to 3)

- 100% vegetarian @creaturesparis on the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette Haussmann with the Eiffel Tower on one side and the Basilica of Sacré Cœur on the other (4 to 8)

- the entirely glass-sided @lesombres.quaibranly with stunning views of the Eiffel Tower (9 to 12)

- the dinner cruise on @ducassesurseine that glides along the Seine passing prominent landmarks, while you feast on a multi-course wine-paired meal; there was Champagne and caviar, obviously (13 to 19)

The much-celebrated @comorin.in finally made its # The much-celebrated @comorin.in finally made its #Mumbai debut earlier this week! 

The relaxed all-day restaurant brings its creative regional Indian cuisine to @nilaya.anthology in Lower Parel. Loved the fluid contours of the space and especially The Orangery, a gorgeous atrium filled with plants (pic 1). 

The food menu is a mix of classic plates from the OG Gurgaon outpost and dishes created specifically for Mumbai. Like the Banarasi aloo papad with nimbu masala avocado, which was a hit at our table, as well as the achaari beetroot salad with tadka dahi. Other dishes that stood out included dahi batata puri (with a wasabi hit), haleen with bakarkhani, sweet corn khichdi, and Andhra gongura chicken, which came with crispy murukku. 

From the large plates, the sweet and tart aam ki kadhi with khoba roti was mind-blowing while the Himachali cha gosht (cooked in buttermilk) was melt-in-the-mouth. The kitchen helmed by brand chef @chefdhirajdargan offers many vegetarian options and a separate Jain menu too.

The cocktail programme by @Varun.mixologist is on point — I absolutely loved the Nashik Spritz with gin, green apple, in-house limoncello, white wine, and ginger ale. If you're going zero-proof, you have some interesting sodas to choose from. There's also an extensive wine list led by @kevinkenrodrigues. 

Obviously, we ended our meal with the signature cheeni malai toast but there's also the delish salted chikki kulfi and the new-to-Mumbai honey caramel gulgule, which comes with custard and ginger candy ice cream.

It was the perfect way to end our meal on a rainy Mumbai afternoon, made all the more fun with my lunch companions @rituparna_r @namratalaungani89 and @somethingz_not_right

Paris, je t'aime! My recent press trip was quite Paris, je t'aime!

My recent press trip was quite hectic but I had half a day free, so here's what I did:
- Hopped on the metro from Roland-Garros to Concorde
- Joined the locals and tourists in enjoying the sunshine at Tuileries Garden
- Popped into @museeorangerie to admire Monet's Water Lilies and see the eclectic Walter-Guillaume collection
- Walked across the Tuileries Garden to the Louvre (didn't go in)
- Stopped for a coffee on the terrasse of @cafe_marly with a view of the Louvre pyramid
- Crossed the Seine to dive into Rive Gauche (Left Bank)
- Dropped in at Boulangerie @poilane to sample their tarte aux pommes and bought a sourdough to bring back home
- Stood at the bar of the packed L'Avant Comptoir du Marché (by chef @yves_camdeborde) at Saint-Germain market and scarfed a lard+mustard sandwich washed down with a glass of rosé
- Walked back towards the river and was drawn in by live music at the piano bar @auxtroismailletz, so I stopped for another glass of wine
- One last look at the Notre-Dame Cathedral (had gone in the previous day)
- Caught a stunning Parisian spring/summer sunset (9.40 pm) on my way to the metro to catch a ride back to the hotel
Le fin!
