SPIRIT OF MUMBAI

I am a Mango Maniac. Just the word, the sight, the tantalizing aroma of ripe Mango makes me go crazy in anticipation of it's ambrosial sweetness. Please don't kill me just yet for being so narcissistic cause I am going to make you more ecstatic with the Mangolicios Majestic   Feast at Khandani  Rajdhani   ( Phoenix Market City, Kurla ) At the entrance of the Rajdhani  ( Ek Khandani Parampara ) , We were greeted in a very traditional Indian way with a flower full ,Pooja thali , Chandan tilak and led inside by the manager. What followed was an authentic,  Royal Banquet! It started  with washing hands in a brass basin, by the warm water poured from a brass Suraee (I almost refused to do this but had to co-operate). Refreshingly cool, sweet & sour  Kairi-Panhe or Mango Lassi as per diner's choice. Usually , when we go for a restaurant review, we chat, we eat, we take lots of pictures-breaks for every new dish.

Aamen loves Britannia Chunkies is an understatement. Aamen loves and lives to eat Britannia GoodDay Chunkies every day. Most of the dabbas ( Food Boxes ) in our home are choc-a-bloc with boxes of Britannia GodDay Chunkies . Chunkies in the morning with glassful of milk, Chunkies in the school-tiffin , Chunkies with coffee in the evening is Aamen's Chunkilicious  eatinerary ( i.e. itinerary )  of any day. That day, we decided to give a Funky surprise to Aamen by baking a novel Chunkies Funky cake, using Britannia GoodDay Chunkies as the main ingredient. You won't believe me , If I told you that Aamen's eyes twinkled Big Star and his hair spiked on it's own  ( OK the later is just a JOKE ) when he saw and tasted the Chunky Funky Cake .                                                             Britannia Good...
