    The name says it all- Here & Now

    Hi Foodies!

    So, on my adventure to find another good place to hog, I landed in Here & Now. This place is in HSR Layout, Sector-7, next to Krispy Kreme. Here & Now is open from 9 AM to 8 PM. This place is really cute with both outdoor and indoor sitting area. I love outdoor sitting areas which is why this place is bound to become my favourite. They have a gaming area, reading area with some really good books and a normal sitting area to chit -chat. The owner is a bong and hence there are books by Satyajit Ray. A plus point for all the hard-core bongs.

    The cuisine is continental. The food ranges from Sandwiches to Pasta to Omlettes (not the normal omlette) to burgers. All of these and some really amazing starters and real good shakes.  This place is a great to have breakfast. Has pork (lots of pork) but then no beef. I have a weakness for pork. The moment I see Pork in any menu, my mouth literally starts to water.

    For breakfast, you can check their All Day Breakfast menu and it has some of the most amazing food. My all time favourite is ‘Nice to meat you’. If you love pig, they will am up your jig. ‘Nice to meat you’ is a brilliant combination of salami, ham and sausages with assorted veggies and made with love with two eggs (just let them know what ignites you, Pig or Chicken, and you are all set to feel delighted).

    The names on the menu is sure to catch-all your attention as they have been created with such good creativity and sharp minds have worked together to make them interesting.

    I have tried a lot of stuffs here but I am gonna talk about one particular day. So me and my super foodie husband, who by the way, loves food more than me (food and his guitar though) ordered Piggy Bank, Phony Pepperoni, Meaty Minion, Piggy Wrap and The Shrunken Shrimp.

    Piggy Bank and Phony Pepperoni are the two most yummiest sandwiches available and I can declare that they will fill your stomach with love and will still make you crave for more. The sandwiches have a lot of pork, teamed with the perfect amount of mayonnaise and veggies and served with french fries which by the way, is really good.

    Meaty Minion is an omlette which is made with Chicken, Bacon, Cheese and Tomato stuffed in the omlette. Such a shame that people look for heaven elsewhere. The other must try omlettes would be Mediterranean Marvel and The Theory of Omlette.

    Piggy Wrap is simply chicken in a blanket yet its delicious as they top these little babies with cheese! Oh lord!

    The Shrunken Shrimp is a pasta which is a superbly yummy Spaghetti with Shrimps, basil, olives and cheese. Another must try is Mighty Meaty Pasta. This has both chicken and ham and will enlighten your taste buds. But me and the man of the house has taste buds which are enlightened by Shrimps more than Chicken at times, hence the first one is our thing.

    For shakes, I would suggest either the Oreo Shake or the Nutella Shake. Surprise here is that Here & Now also has a range of Waffles and Pancakes which are ideal for breakfast. They also have separate pork or chicken sausages in different flavours and Hash Browns (For my parents who are reading this, I don’t do drugs. Hash Brown is just potato in a different way).

    This place is pure orgasmic guys and will definitely give a foodgasm. Do try this place and let me know how much you guys liked it.

    In my next blog, I am going to write about the best biryani in Bangalore. Everytime I write about food, I get hungry. I am gonna grab a bite.

  • The day I vowed to start writing again !

    So, its been quite some time, actually years since I left writing. I have been waiting to start again but then I was caught up.

    Now, when I started a blog, it was for me to think what I really want to write about. Knowing my hobbies; food, travel and fashion (trust me, fashion in my dictionary excludes make up to a great extent :p) are my forte.

    For me, fashion means wearing clothes that would make me confident and would bring out the best in me. It absolutely doesn’t mean that I have to follow the “current trend” or follow what is in the market. I believe in wearing clothes that makes me comfortable, look smart and at the same time is not over the top. Talking about make-up, I have never been into make up so much. But then, I have to admit, after my Wedding, I realized the importance and the gracefulness of make up! Might sound silly, but since that day, I have started wearing make up (which again, is quite unbelievable for my best friends).

    Now if I start talking about food, this blog would just go on and on. Food has been my best friend after books since I was in 9th Grade. Food is something that pulls my interest and it not only gives me the inspiration to try different places (which in turn has made me a big foodie), but also pushes me to cook different dishes. I have lived in Delhi for 3 years, during my college life and I have explored nooks and corners of Delhi for food. From trying out shabby places to extravagant and luxurious places, I have had food from all these places. And the joy of good food for me is so much more than the ambiance. When it comes to food, I love experimenting, be it any cuisine. Also, I am not restricted to any meat. Any four legged or two legged can be eaten by me.

    Travelling is another hobby of mine which I guess is the best hobby. Travelling makes me feel alive and helps me learn so much about places and of course allows me to take a break from this hustle bustle. However, my job doesn’t let me travel that much. I still somehow find out time to travel in every 2-3 months. I recently had a trip to Darjeeling and I must admit, I have never loved mountains more. That place is magical. The view of Kanchenjunga from Keventers while having a pork platter and chocolate shake is the best thing I could ask for. I think there is some weird connection between bongs and Darjeeling. For that matter, Bongs and alcohol and Bongs and cigarettes also have a weird connection.

    Okay, so now this blog is about mixed feelings. Stuffs that I like, stuffs I am going to blog about and some other random stuff. This is because I wanted to start off blogging with the things that I have in mind and the things that matter to me.

    This is something that I want to do. I don’t want my blog to be restricted to just one thing. I have been an explorer and I promise, my blogs will be a mixture of food, fashion and travel and I will put in as much effort as I can to not make it monotonous. This marks the start of my blog and I will be back real soon with some of the amazing recipes that I have and my sense of styling. Till then, keep reading 🙂

    Whole lotta love
