Saturday afternoon and I am getting ready for TabulaBeach Cafe. Somehow this place was always jinxed for me, whenever I made a scene for this place, either it got cancelled or the venue got changed (:p). So when I got an invite for the launch of TabulaBeach 2.0, I was really happy-“the jinx was finally getting over”(ta-daaa).

On a warm sunny afternoon, the cafe interiors were a welcome sight. Open space with rustic interiors, sand used as a flooring, waterfall in the background, rustic dreamy curtains and beautiful hanging cages with lights in them. It feels as if you have entered a shack in Goa, the beautiful interiors make you feel sooo relaxed.

What made me feel super-duper-truper happy was the sign which said “Dog Friendly zone”. Finally a cafe in Delhi which allows Dogs (God you have been listening). Being an avid Dog lover this made me really happy and pissed, happy- as I finally have a place where I could take my little pooch to and pissed-if my editor had informed me earlier, my plus one would have definitely been my dog (:p). There were small goodies and treats kept for the pets and I was even informed if this idea works, the owners would love to introduce a menu specially for the pets (woohoo).

TabulaBeach is c0-owned by Sahil Gupta. After having successful restaurants like Ploof Deli and Hungry Monkey, he decided to start a temporary pop-up cafe by “TabulaBeach Cafe” but he got such a good response, he decided to make this idea permanent, thus the name “TabulaBeach 2.0”. With a lease period of 9 years, TabulaBeach is here to stay. Sahil is opening up another cafe soon by the name of “Arriba” which is going to be a mexican bar and is going to be the new neighbor of TabulaBeach (by the way I am just loving how the Baniya’s are taking over the hospitality sector in Delhi #GoBaniyas :p).

I sampled a lot of dishes and drinks that afternoon, really enjoyed my meal. Almost everything worked but I am going to list down my favorites of the afternoon:-

Drinks:-

1. Coconut Iced Tea- Somehow I thought this drink is going to be quiet stupid but it worked sooo well. The coconut and iced tea somehow blends really well together, highly refreshing and much recommend drink for summer afternoons.

2. Pink Panther- a slush of rum, strawberry, pineapple pulp, fresh coconut and lime. This drink is absolutely fabulous and I quiet enjoyed it. A must for those girly night outs.

3. Vodka Chikoo Eclair- So the combination sounds really weird (and that is why I ordered it :p) but somehow it works. That is what I find quiet amusing about this place, the drink combination sounds funny but somehow they all work. Just a word of warning, this drink is for those who like their liquor strong (:p).

Food:-

1. Red Wine Poached Beetroot and Mascarpone salad- On a sunny afternoon, this dish was an absolute delight.

2. Slow roasted Mushrooms- The caramelized onions with the Parmesan spinach and the roasted mushrooms were a burst of beautiful flavors on my tongue.

3. Mushroom Risotto- I quiet enjoyed the dish, the rice was cooked beautifully and the fungi mushroom complimented the dish really well. Though found the dish a little dry (for my personal liking), a little more gravy would definitely make this dish perfect.

4. Kerala Pepper curry- This dish is finger-liking good. Really enjoyed the bold flavors of the spices in the dish.

5. Banana Nutella Cheesecake- This dish stole my heart. I am not a “sweet” person but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheesecake was such a happy ending to my meal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DISH!

All in all a beautiful Saturday afternoon with warm hospitality both from the staff and the host. The afternoon ended with an interesting debate on Mumbai vs Delhi (turns out Sahil is from Mumbai but obviously we Delhites rock! :p). Overall an afternoon spent well, shall be returning soon with my lil pooch! 🙂

The cruise was our perfect 4 night holiday featuring a whole lot of food, drink and fun. Stay tuned for our stories and do let us know if you have any questions regarding a cruise with Royal Caribbean.  #SnSXUSA #SnSXMiami #SnSXRoyalCaribbean #cruise #royalcaribbean #saltandsandals

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'.

Sniffing is one of the essential steps to enjoying the flavour of any new drink. Sniffing opens up a new array of flavours that you can experience on your palate.

When traveling, definitely discover a Beverage destination. We headed to the @Takamaka Rum Seychelles distillery with @Creole Travel Services where we fell in love with the slow pace, exquisite beach and two barrel aged rums. The Extra Dark is aged twice, first in French Oak and then in reused Bourbon casks for three years and the St. Andre which has been aged for eight years in American Bourbon casks. Which one should we get back for tasting?
