Mamagoto Nomikai: A nomikai is a Japanese drinking party or gathering involving coworkers, classmates, or friends to eat, drink, and build social bonds. The word combines nomu (to drink) and kai (a meeting or gathering. And now the newly revamped Mamagoto Nomikai at Cyber Hub offers us an opportunity to have a nomikai of our own! Every evening from 4 to 8.30 PM, some brands of liquor are 1+1 and some are available at MRP (theka prices). My eyes are moist as I type this. Khushi ke aansu. Check out some pix from our last weekend.

Cincin, on GCR

Cincin is a new entrant on the Italian food scene in the city, but most importantly it's part of the recent resurgence of GCR as the food destination in the city, leaving all the GCXs and MG Roads behind.

Warm, bright and cheerful, the restaurant is located in the same building as the famous Magnolia Bakery, and was full at 1 PM on a Saturday afternoon. The crowd was a happy mix of youngsters and families, and food was typically instagrammy - nicely plated and fried (or baked in the case of pizzas) to perfection.

The veg bruschetta was loaded with fresh crunchy veggies, and the veg rice balls were crispy fried with a nice cheesy filling.

The kalamari rings were perfectly fried, served with sour cream, and the pork belly was curiously shaped and fried like a croquette. And I never complain about fried stuff, so we lapped it with a repeat order to follow.

The pizzas were fully loaded, with no illusions of being in Sicily or Naples, and the pasta (don't remember which one we ordered) was a beautifully made with chicken and pork mince stuffing. The buff carpaccio was unremarkable. The veg risotto was appreciated with everyone who tried it, obviously me not being on that list. We skipped the desserts (see my previous post here), and with 3-4 cocktails, and 3 mocktails, 9 people, the damages were 2300 per head. The complete package of convenient location, good crowd, peppy vibe, and good food makes this an absolute must visit. I'm going again. Who's coming?

This is Shivendu.

Shivendu saw that people were lining up outside Magnolia Bakery to try their Banana Pudding and Tres Leches.

Shivendu doesn't have herd mentality.

Shivendu went when the queues disappeared.

Shivendu is smart. Be like Shivendu.

The Tres Leches was good, but not much different from the other places serving it in the city. Banana Pudding was good too, again no differentiation in them and the others. And despite their best efforts to make things difficult for customers by asking them to order at one counter and bill at another, there wasn't any queue.

Rosang Cafe, Humayunpur

Rosang Cafe, was a popular joint in South Delhi till a few years ago, before it shut down during covid. Now when they have reopened after so many years, I got a chance to visit them recently and I've tried to describe my experience here.

I started off with chicken, pork, prawn momo in APF and black rice skins and all the variants were good. Choose your fav meat, and your choice of skin, and like MJ famously sang, it don't matter if it's back or white. They were all equally good. They also served a very flavorsome clear soup with the momo, and I couldn't resist finishing off the soup even before the dumplings.

Nguingoshing, from Arunachal Pradesh, banana leaf wrapped roasted fish infused with the aroma of roots and leaves. This was delicious. Simple flavors and melt in the mouth fish, the accompanying dip was amazing. But frankly, the fish didn't need the dip, it was just so good.

Wahanmosdeng from Tripura, was a pork salad, would have made a great chakhna. They need to change their pork vendor though. I didn't particularly enjoy the meat.

Rosang special spicy noodles were actually spicy, for a change. Most places are scared to make stuff actually spicy. These were good to go without any sauces.

Haahor Mangxo, from Assam, wasn't mutton, as I thought first after reading the name. This was a yummy duck and ashguard curry. Loved it. With the kaddu đŸ˜‘

Dohneiiong, from Meghalaya - tender pork simmered in a rosh, earthy black sesame paste with ginger and garlic. A welcome change from the onion tomato gravies we are used to.

Awu anishi, from Nagaland - chicken with pounded smoked taro leaf. Again very different from our regular curries and liked it too

The sides I ate were good too, the matra kind of dal was yummy and the potato, (or was it ashguard?) was very nice too. The vegetable stew was horrible! I don't like rice in general, so the dessert made of back rice was unremarkable for me.

They serve fermented rice beer too, for 199 bucks a glass.

Humayunpur has a new destination for me. Will surely visit again soon

Review: Malabar Coast

Malabar Coast is now an established name in Gurgaon, popular as much for their seafood delicacies as much for their daily unlimited breakfast, which is largely vegetarian.

I started out with some dahi vada and pody idli because of my duty towards the vegetarian community here, of which I remain a firm 28.5714% part till date. Both the dishes were delicious, one being soft and addictive and the other being soft and masaledar.

Chicken ghee roast with neer dosa is a perfect meal for the chicken eaters, well cooked, tender chicken rolling around in a robust, red sauce, going perfectly well with the neer dosa.

Prawn rawa fry was the perfect chakhna! Large juicy prawns, coated in crispy rawa batter and fried to perfection. I couldn't stop picking up the next one! But then I remembered my duty to eat other stuff and resisted myself.

The Mutton pepper fry was bland, low on salt, even though well cooked, hence a little underwhelming.

Surmai masala fry is a favorite of mine when I visit them, even though I'm not too big on fish. The red marinade makes me drool even writing about it, and the quality of the fish is worth a mention too. Loved it.

For mains, I had my favorite Prawn pullimunchi, bite sized prawns cooked in a tangy, fiery red curry which leaves you wanting more. The Kerala chicken curry was served directly from a bubbling, fresh off the stove, pressure cooker, which was perfect for that Instagram reel, if you're into that kinda thing.

They also served me a curiously created Mysore chicken dosa, which you can think of as a fusion between mysore plain dosa and chicken keema, which is perfect as a one plate meal, if you're in the mood. No condiments were needed to go with it and was filling enough for a full meal for one person.

Desserts were both fabulous. The coconut payasam is made not from rice and milk, but from tender coconut pulp and coconut milk. It was yummy! And the Rawa Kesari was perfect to end the meal. sweet and sinful.

Also see the pictures of their unlimited breakfast menu and of me giving my best pressure cooker shot for Instagram.
