Dandy Snacks

Dandy Snacks at the intersection of Khayaban-e-Badban and Saba Avenue is one of the best snack outlets I have come across in a long time. Everything is served fresh and hygienically...and its extremely tasty too.

Its a lively intersection but there are plenty of parking spots. The food is served quickly and the waiters were quite quick to respond (I went at an off-peak hour)

The dahi puri was extremely delicious. Thick dahi with a generous garnish of masala and chutni topped onto fresh crispy puris filled with fresh channay.

The falsa juice was strained on request and the glass was sealed with paper and rubberband which helped prevent spilling. The also had frozen mangoes for a delicious mango shake and I hear its available year round.

It was a bit more expensive than some other places with fresh shakes and juices costing around 80-90 per glass but it was definitely worth it.

I recommend you all give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Review:

(Disclaimer: I am writing the review much later than the actual visit and we only tried one dish)

Studio Cafe was a spur of the moment visit. We heard that it had recently opened and the concept seemed interesting so we decided to check it out. This place is basically a cafe, shisha bar and photography studio all rolled into one. I am not sure how the latter fits in but it is definitely a new concept. I'm sure an innovative proprietor could make it work.

Located conveniently on the head on the Shahbaz strip, it got a very attractive and lively exterior. The interior went well with the outside, with a hip and jazzy decor. The basement was more of what you would expect from a photography studio but I think more could have been done to integrate the two into the all-in-one concept. The upper level seemed designed to be a comfy space for people to kick back with shisha and snacks. Overall I thought it was a near miss. The electric experience that I was expecting turned out to be not more than a small buzz.

The service overall was okay. We were made to wait for our table of choice upstairs even though it was available. We placed on the entrance level which was where all the families were seated (by the way this place is families only after 7PM, I strongly oppose this) for quite a while before we were showed upstairs. Food wasn't served speedily but wasn't too slow either.

Overall, I suppose that this review will not give you a complete picture of what studio cafe has to offer because we didn't try any of the meals or desserts; but it does point to the fact that the complete package was lacking the punch, which led us to leave the place unsatisfied and Rs.1200/- poorer. In general, I am a fan of concept establishments and I do hope that you will try the place out and post your comments. I hope they amend their strategy; gearing the place and prices completely towards young people (and the young at heart sans crying babies). They have a lot of potential and I hope to see it realized soon.

Domino's Pizza - 3 New Chicken Flavors

So there has been a bit of advertising for the new Domino's flavors; Ranch, BBQ and Buffalo Hot.

I tried the Ranch and Buffalo Hot. They are good pizza's but slightly on the drier side. I had the pizza split into half Ranch and half Buffalo Hot, to be honest the only difference seemed to be the drizzle of sauce on top. There was a bit too much of crust. A jumbo pizza was good enough for 3-4 people.

I think these pizzas would taste really good with some creamy garlic dipping sauce (i.e. sort of like what you find at hot n spicy with the garlic mayo).

It wasn't cheap nor was it expensive. The deal was 1000/- for a jumbo 16" pizza and a 1.5 litre pepsi.

Give it a shot if you're tired of the other pizzas because it is a bit different from the usual pizza hut and ginos.

Fuchsia

Phase 5, D.H.A.
Karachi, Pakistan.
Tel: (92-21) 3536-3944, 3536-3948

Cuisine: Thai (with a twist)

Ratings (Out of 10):

Ambiance: 7
Food: 8
Service: 7
Value for Money: 7
Overall: 7.5

Cost: Rs. ~2000/- for 2 people (1.5 meals to be precise)

Order: 2 soups, 2 appetizers (+1 complementary), 1 main course, 1 dessert, 1 drink and water

Review:

(Disclaimer: I am writing the review almost a month after my visit.)

This restaurant is one I had heard many good things about and had been wanting to try for quite a while. Located on the back-side of Thai staple Baan Thai; I wasn't quite sure of what to expect. Zamzama is normally horrible to drive around but the parking is quite easy at the Fuchsia location due to the open plot across it. The facade of the restaurant is tastefully done (and in good company); discreet and classy. The inside expands on the outside with similar decor but also with the addition of lively pieces. The restaurant sports an open kitchen which I felt didn't conform with the rest of the restaurant; but my guest felt it added to the liveliness of the restaurant.

The menu has quite a bit of variety. Three types of soups, about half a dozen types of salads and appetizers (each), some dim sum and vegetarian entrées, about a dozen seafood and a dozen meat/poultry entrées and noodles/rice entrées. With the desserts and beverages; there is a lot to try at this place, particularly because the items on the menu mostly seem unique from each other.

We ordered the clear tom yum and creamy coconut soups. The clear tom yum was standard, hitting the throat while being on the spicier side. The creamy coconut soup was amazing. Not too far out from what you get at other places but it was set apart being richer and more flavorful.

We tried the charcoal grilled chicken satay with fuchsia peanut sauce as an appetizer. It was a bit dry and the peanut sauce it came with wasn't that great either. We also had a prawn mousse wonton roll, again didn't taste as exotic as it sounds, very much an ordinary prawn filling spring roll. We were then given a complementary taster of some off-menu fried calamari (?) can't recall what it was, but not bad.

For the main course there is a lot of variety. I ordered the creamy red thick curry chicken with lime leaf and red chilli. White rice is served hot with all the dishes. This was a dish well done. The creamy richness meshed with the red curry flavor was just the thing needed to satiate me. I am not sure if I will be able to try anything else on my next visit because its just one of those dishes. Also, I had heard myths about the fuchsia dishes being tiny, I would like to dispell that now; size was perfect for one person plus others taking a taste of the dish.

For the dessert I had bitter chocolate mousse layered with wild berries; created by a genius for sure! The bittersweet taste of the chocolate and the piquant taste of the wild berries along with the contrasting textures went really well. Probably the best form of chocolate mousse I have tasted in years.

The service overall was on the slowish side. The greeter greeted us pleasantly as soon as we arrived and showed us to our table promptly. The person taking our order for the appetizers seemed to be a bit confused. The food however showed up according to order. The appetizers were served slightly early. The staff did well to remain ubiquitous.

Overall, a great place to eat out for two or to take out special guests. My recommendation is to keep the experimentation to medium level. Good ambiance and good food. Do visit and post your comments.

McDonald's Chocolate Orange Pie

Finally tried out the McDonalds chocolate orange pie (lucky draw coupon available on purchase of coffee with the pie, I won two Kit Kats).

The pie itself was very average. The crust is fine... but the filling was very much like pudding. Would have tasted much better with some proper chocolate filling. That said, its still not a bad; nice to munch on with your coffee.
