Chicken in Black Bean Sauce with Vegetables

By Sid • Jul 11th, 2008 • Category: Desserts, Healthy, Leftover Ideas, Non Vegetarian Food, Oriental Food

Cooking all three meals every day isn’t proving to be as much of a load as I thought it would be. After reaching home around 7:00pm with fresh vegetables and breads, dinner is ready in the next 1 hour. The next morning, breakfast is usually served around 7:30am with sandwiches for lunch ready by 8:15am. [...]



Sidewok - Khan Market, New Delhi

By Sid • Jul 10th, 2008 • Category: Restaurants in Delhi, Reviews

Ashwin and I decided to meet up midweek and yesterday seemed as good a day as any. Since I had had enough of western style food, the general consensus was either an Indian or a Chinese restaurant. Roaming around Khan market, we found SideWok.
If I were to choose a single redeeming feature at SideWok, it [...]



To Yo or Not to Yo

By Sid • Jun 13th, 2008 • Category: Posts

I just learnt that Nestle’s instant noodles product Maggi Cuppa Mania is off the market until further notice. I think the product sucked (not as much as Pot Noodles in the UK though, which sucks big time) but thats not the reason it’s been taken off the shelves.
Apparently, the owners of Yo! China felt that [...]



Noodles with Kidney Beans

By Sid • May 25th, 2008 • Category: Fusion Food, Oriental Food, Posts, Vegetarian Food

An expert at rustling up healthy and delicious food, this is another one of Zainab’s creations.
Onion, garlic and bell peppers lightly fried, tossed with boiled noodles and kidney beans, then seasoned with soy sauce and served hot.
Simple isn’t it? It tasted good too!

Maggi Cuppa Mania

By Sid • May 2nd, 2008 • Category: Ready to Eat Food, Reviews

I’ve been seeing advertisements for Maggi Cuppa Mania for some time now and since instant noodles constitute my sole source of nourishment (whatever thats worth) at times, I thought of trying it out yesterday.
I normally purchase Top Ramen noodles or perhaps some of these Thai or Malaysian noodles. Have you tried those BTW? They come [...]



Review: Wok and Talk, Great India Place, NOIDA

By Sid • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Asian Food, Restaurants In NOIDA, Reviews

Wok and Talk is a part of the Spoon Food Court, in the Great India Place, NOIDA. Just like any other food court, you can take in the many aromas wafting around the place, the hubbub of many people talking at once and the occasional loud crash of a strike at the bowling alley ahead.
The [...]



Kebab Curry Noodles

By Sid • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Asian Food, Fusion Food, Non Vegetarian Food, Oriental Food, Posts

I found these freshly made noodles in the market yesterday. All you need to cook them is a couple of minutes in salted, boiling water. So, I tried this recipe out, which resulted in a spicy combination of curry, noodles, kebabs and coconut.
First, boil your noodles, chop the kebabs and onions and squeeze out the [...]



Review: The Fortune Cookie, Sector 18, NOIDA

By Sid • Apr 13th, 2008 • Category: Asian Food, Restaurants In NOIDA, Reviews

Meeting with some long lost friends, their parents, their children and so on, we landed up at Fortune Cookie on Friday night.
It’s a nice place really - the owner is an ex-shippie who has ransacked his house and placed all his collected oriental artifacts in the restaurant. Decorated with an overpowering shade of red, The [...]



Review: Republic of China, Great India Place, NOIDA

By Sid • Apr 3rd, 2008 • Category: Restaurants In NOIDA, Reviews

Republic of China is a part of the Spoon Food Court, in the Great India Place, NOIDA. The standard food court ambience applies here with lots of places to sit, television screens in abundance and the pleasant murmur of many conversations happening at once.
There aren’t many options available, and they don’t seem to want to [...]



Glass Noodle Soup

By Sid • Mar 14th, 2008 • Category: Asian Food, Fusion Food, Oriental Food, Posts, Vegetarian Food

This noodle soup is immensely satisfying and is perfect for a hot, nutritious complete meal for the kids. It uses glass noodles or bean threads and looks quite interesting too. With the right vegetables in it, it can look simply amazing!
Start by sauteing some spring onions, carrots, beans and cauliflower, all cut to the right [...]
