Salt & Sandals
A Complete Singapore Travel Guide for Indian Travellers in 2020
The 332nd Wine Dinner of the @delhiwineclub at The Spice Route, @imperialdelhi featured some amazing wines served along with some delectable South East Asian food.  We tried out a @villasandi Prosecco, followed it up with Guwerztraminer from 19.59. In the red wines, we had a Pinot Noir and a Malbec.  The food was delectable with flavours from across South East Asia. My favourites included Yellow Fin Tuna & Avocado Tartar and the Gindara Miso Cod.  #saltandsandals #foodwriter #winewriter #SnSXWines #delhiwineclub

Although there's no shortage of food onboard Royal Caribbean, one cannot miss eating at their Italian speciality restaurant Giovanni's Table.  Every meal at Giovanni’s is a celebration of rustic Italian flavours. You’ll find all your favourite Old-World classics on the menu here. Our meal started with a bread basket served with olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar on the side.  For starters we had the very refreshing Caprese Salad and Crispy Calamari served with lemon and garlic aioli. It was quite a task deciding on the mains with every dish on the menu being quintessential Italian classics.  While Sudipto went for the Osso Buco with creamy polenta and seasonal vegetables and I had to order my favourite Lamb Bolognese with house made spaghetti.  Do not miss asking the serving team to suggest the perfect pairing from a wine list that ranges from Sauvignon to Pinot Noir.  Finally finished the night off with a big creamy spoonful of Tiramisu.  The menu is priced at approximately 48 dollars per person for dinner and 35 dollars for Lunch and you can order an Entree, a mains along with a dessert. You will also find multiple discounts running on your RC App before boarding the dinner options.  #SnSXRoyalCaribbean #snsxusa #royalcaribbean #independenceoftheseas #foodphotography #foodblogger #foodie #travelblogger #travelphotographer #travelwriter #miami #fortlauderdale #usa #florida #cruise #bahamas
Sitting by the rooftop overlooking the waterfront, @oliveandseaftl is the perfect embodiment of Mediterranean food for our trip to Fort Lauderdale.  We started off with the Mezze platter which features not only the regulars including hummus, labneh, tzatziki, baba ganoush, there is also some bulgur tabbouleh and red pepper walnut relish served with some house bread, pita and lavaash.  Although there are quite a few fresh salads packed with Mediterranean flavours including one with mixed greens, goat cheese, honey roasted Squash, walnuts, apples and literally topped off with Pomegranate molasses, we tried out the Charred Crispy Octopus served with a Garlic labneh, Green Olive Tapenade and Crispy Potatoes.  For the mains, we also got ourselves some skewers cooked perfectly and served with some Tahini and a Coriander Chili relish.
Mediterranean pizzas are definitely an interesting item and we got ourselves a Smoked Eggplant and Mozzarella pizza served along with some Urfa peppers.  #snsxusa #saltandsandals #fortlauderdale #olive #sea #oliveandsea #america #florida #foodphotography #foodwriter #foodblogger #medditeranean #medditeraneanfood #foodie
We headed over to @evenkeelasolas in Fort Lauderdale to try out some fresh seafood, offering a modern take on Floridian Coastal cuisine. The restaurant has a casual yet trendy ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's located on one of the numerous piers dotting Fort Lauderdale's waterways  We tried out the Oysters served with hot sauce, tarragon and lime along with a smoked fish dip and a shrimp ceviche. We followed it up with Himachi Poke Gyoza Tacos, grilled Octopus and a hot Lobster Roll. We finished it of all with a gigantic Bloody Mary.  #snsxusa #saltandsandals #foodphotography #foodblogger #travelwriter #travelwithme #traveldiaries #florida #miami #fortlauderdale

I am never a fan of getting myself clicked but a tryst with history had a fan girl moment in me.
🏵️
During my graduation in history from Delhi University, I was a big fan of Roman history. So when I was actually in a historical place right out of my books, I couldn't stop myself from getting?

Often listed amongst the best beaches in the world, Anse Lazio in Praslin, Seychelles truly open gates to altogether new world. And let me tell you, reaching here was quite a journey. One has to reach the bottom of the hill to Zimbabwe either by car or bus, then one has to trek over a large forested jungle clad hill and along some way before you reach the beach. But the journey is well worth the effort with views that take your breath away perfect with fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called 'the best beach in the world'.
