Hmmpf! Where to start... its been a really long long time I didn't give time to blogging. There were a lot of changes, new developments and some self-realization moments happening since past few months! Finally things (my mind) seems to have settled and now I know how "I want my life to be"!
Back to the title of this post... Last week was an eventful week... some really awesome moments have left me feeling happy for at least the next 1 month!
To start with... just next to my office is this beautiful (the international brands in it make it beautiful ;P) mall 'Palladium' and I have been looking forward to shop in there since quite sometime... So finally when I could spare time out of my suffocating work schedules... I went for some splurging! Ended up buying from'Vero Moda' (its a Spanish brand) a sexy pair of denims... 3 slim shirts... 2 hot shorts (coz they make me look so!)... a leather belt.... all this and my pockets were lighter by 12k! Didn't mind it though, coz one - I haven't been shopping since a while, two - I looooveee shopping ;)
The shopping spree just didn't end here... next destination was footwear... got some neat ones at Lifestyle, which can last me for this monsoon. Futher, my desires urged me to buy a handbag... and Baggit had some good collection of handbags (non leather ones, coz its monsoon) of my choice. For formal handbag, I had a very specific choice... it had to accomodate my laptop as well. Found one that really looks chic, formal, sturdy and a neutral shade. Huh! so much for a handbag, but thats how it is!
To add onto the happiness of shopping... the weekend was even better... It was my closest friend's birthday and we celebrated it over some awesome lunch... Feel like recommending the restaurant to everyone I know :) 'Sai Sannidhi' - Its on Ghodbunder Road, near the toll naka towards Borivli... exactly at Chena Bridge/ River junction. We ordered for some good red wine, and delicious starters. The main course was equally delicious... couldn't stop myself from over eating! Almost licked the plates clean :D The service is prompt and the staff is very informative and courteous.
I'd like to recommend this restaurant for all those who want a peaceful evening/ afternoon with some great food. A must visit if you are around the Ghodbunder Road stretch. Its a multi-cuisine restaurant, but really good for Chinese/ Continental, Manglorean cuisine... and especially Sea Food! I don't recommend Punjabi cuisine there coz I'm not sure they are scoring so good on the Authenticity parameter. For me authenticity tops the list of parameters. The pricing is also moderate, not too high.
All in all, an awesome weekend lunch :) sigh! I'm already looking forward to eating there again.
Just to add on... for some authentic Thai food... head on to 'Thai-Chi' at Nirmal Lifestyle, Mulund (I feel its a bit over-priced, but I really don't mind it till I get some authentic and awesome food).
For the typical Punjabi food its 'Dara Dhaba' at Kashigaon, on Ghodbunder Road... believe me, you'll end up over-eating, and feel free to take a short nap on the 'khatiyas' (yeah, the seating area is rural punjabi style).
And for some great Gujrati thali (my favorite!) the best place is 'Rajdhani'. Its at various locations in Mumbai... Crawford Market, InOrbit Mall - Malad, Nirmal Lifestyle - Mulund, and a few more...
Maybe I'll review these restaurants in my further posts...
