Trust me to be unable to eat an actual chocolate bar but be able to guzzle a wine called The Chocolate Block. I am the Wine Chick after all. But in truth, the reason I like this wine is because it tastes more like an exotic bitter dark chocolate purchased on a faraway trip than a Mars Bar picked up from the corner store.

Lovely sweet palate with pineapple, apricot and raisin flavours supported by a fresh acidity. Can be enjoyed on its own or with preferred desserts. Tremendous fruit core, lots of concentration and good balance. Rich and layered with dried plum, baking spices and dark chocolate flavours.

On its own or great to pair with dark chocolate, mature cheese and fruit desserts. For Soni Adriance, it just might be the instant gratification of a fantastic brunch spread after power yoga. We all know what it takes to be healthy. A simple Google search will give you dozens of ideas that can suit your lifestyle. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Eat vegetables and fruit; be mindful of your carbohydrates, sugar and junk food intake.

I am very much aware of both the long and short-term benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. Long term heart, lung and mobility benefits as well as short term increase in attention span, productivity and an overall feeling of accomplishment. At least not in. In a society that thrives on immediate gratification, what if we got the healthy ball rolling with some exercise and immediate reward? Cheloti of the Africa Yoga Project was the instructor that day who took us through an hour of Power Yoga. As he squared my hips and lowered me further into warrior one, my chest burned with anger.

In that moment, I hated him. I was incredibly thankful our workout was over but as I lay there, knees by my ears, I gained a deep appreciation for what I had accomplished. Cheloti was right, I could stretch deeper and go further into the pose than I initially believed. A sense of strong accomplishment and strength. I immediately began mentally planning my next workout. As we walked out of the studio, I knew I deserved the brunch spread and cocktails that awaited me. I bee-lined for the desserts: After a plate of desserts washed down with.

There was a salad bar, soups, hot plates with main dishes from pastas to spare ribs, and an outdoor grill with shrimp and tandoori chicken. If this is what it means to work out, count me in. He likes to walk the shadows of the city at dusk, picking conversations of a people spurred by the night and by their drink. So I wore my shoes, rode the elevator down and walked out of the hotel. Of course I ended up in this dark bar most bars in Ethiopia are seemingly so dark where I sunk in an unoccupied leather seat. A fan whirred overhead. They only had Jack Daniels on their whisky menu.

Even a black man like me. I dropped two ice-cubes in my short-glass and sat back. They were all very pretty. Most Ethiopian girls are very pretty. God gave them Haile Selassie, weed and pretty girls. Ugandans have Besigye, a political punching bag that helps with the self esteem of its neighbours.

Tanzanians have a national jealousy and paranoia that Kenyans will sneak through their borders and steal their Zebras from Serengeti. South Sudan has boreholes. Sudan has the janjaweed. What did we get apart. I stared at the girls like a creep. At the table at the corner a man cosied up with his date, another stunning beauty with long hair and eyelashes I could have hung my clothes on. She giggled and he nudged her neck playfully. The waitress, another waif beauty with broken english asked if I wanted a refill. Because I was miserable, I ordered a chicken pizza and what came looked like a bloated sea animal.

I can imagine heading to the pier and casting your fishing rod over breakfast, and as you leaned forward to take a sip of your virgin sunrise, feeling the gentle tug of the fish that the chefs would then be frying up for your lunch. I have been to Kisumu enough times to consider myself quite the expert on this port city.

My first ever Chinese restaurant experience was actually at Oriental on the first floor of Al-Imran plaza. When at the lakeside, eat as the locals do, and that means a variety of fish like tilapia, nile perch and silver cyprinid. With a lot of restaurants being lined up along Lake Victoria, I also have fond memories of Tilapia Beach which used to have some of the biggest tilapia I have ever seen.

You get to choose the size of fish and how you want it cooked, and minutes later it gets to your table with a side of indigenous vegetables, ugali and kachumbari. The views were also always breathtaking, although there was the matter of water hyacinth threatening to mar this. International tourists have since discovered Tilapia Beach and I think the price of fish may have shot up because of this. On my most recent visit, the weather was far too hot to inspire much daytime action. Two hot cups of cappuccino later and we were ready to explore the culinary delights of this lakeside city and identify the best place to sit down for a nice leisurely lunch.

As we explored our options, I was pleased to learn that restaurants like Habesha Ethiopian cuisine and Haandi Indian cuisine have both set up outlets here. The latter offers continental cuisine and is known for its burgers and freshly. We briefly considered going to Sunset Hotel in Milimani but given the fact that it was a weekend, it would have been too crowded with families what with kids running wild and jumping in and out of the pool.

Instead we ended up having lunch in a serene garden at Clarice Guest House and our choice of Molo lamb racks and fish in thick coconut sauce hit the spot. The next day we woke up bright and early and headed off to Kiboko Bay Resort in the Dunga area of the city. The sanctuary has five campsites and activities include nature walks, bird watching or taking a glass bottomed boat ride on the lake. As we approached Kiboko Bay Resort, we could hear Benga music blasting from a nearby restaurant. This was Dunga Hill Camp which looked sweet and very child friendly. Next we made a pitstop at La Pearl Breeze Point, a new lakeside establishment.

The owner took pains to explain that the wall separating the lake from the restaurant was a necessity as the waves would sometimes get so strong that the water would come right up to the tables. Still, she told us, one can choose to have a table set up right on the water line.

Eventually we managed to pass Hippo Point and, too famished to even make conversation, reached Kiboko Bay. Kiboko Bay is the one spot you should definitely check out when in Kisumu. Stay at one of their cottages if you can. It hits all the right notes: Last year they had a dining area set up on a pier so patrons could enjoy their meal over the lake.

I can imagine heading there and casting your fishing rod over breakfast, and as you leaned forward to take a sip of your virgin sunrise, feeling the gentle tug of the fish that the chefs would then be frying up for your lunch.

  4. It has a Moroccon twist to it with the cous cous. I expect ghugni with couscous, but it turns out to be the opposite. The plate is full of cous cous with a a small helping of mutton infused ghugni in the centre. But the taste makes up for my disappointment, if any. The cous cous complements the ghugni. A perfect example of creativity an imagination. The house deli fresh salad along with it is crunchy and tingles our palate. This dish gets my vote. The Usquebaugh blend ice tea that I am sipping is too mildly flavoured and watered down.

    The hint of tea is not enough even to tease my taste buds. Lolita has warned me of the delicate flavours, but being from Bengal myself, I am acquainted with those. However, this one does not fit the bill. Screwpine Aam, Begum in crepe, Modak redux, Trucker tycoon. Yes, these are the interesting names of the desserts in the menu.

    Being a chocolate fanatic, Trucker Tycoon is quite obviously our choice. Tawa toast oozing with chocolate and mascarpone cheese, the dessert promises. I am taken by surprise. Two tiny pieces of toast with the filling. That too not generous, given the price. Reminiscent of what mothers make at home for kids with Nutella. Lolita personally oversees every order and chats with her guests. Her central kitchen in Khar seems well managed and her staff here too is efficient.

    I have waited for ages for this favourite donut brand of mine to enter India and then, my city Mumbai. Today is finally the day when it is here. My excitement knew no bounds. Even more intriguing was the invite which said an experiential workshop. I was all set. But what I experienced over two hours clearly surpassed my expectations.

    Their 29 th outlet in India. That really is quite a lot.

    5 Best Tasty Chocolate Desserts

    But I was never initiated into what goes behind the food and beverage planning here. And that was enlightening. Adds that element of fun to it. Normal is boring after all. The Heaven can wait burger stole my heart. What a perfect way to juxtapose flavours, textures through usage of ingredients. The burger bun was unique. Not the usual sesame seed sad bun we normally get. The bread had a ciabatta feel to it. And of course the Tough Guy burger transports you to another gastronomical world altogether. The newly launched Wicked wrap was a delight too.

    Wicked it sure was as there was an interesting contrast of flavours teasing and tantalising the taste buds. The succulent chicken, with the crispy nachos, soft jalapenos were married together beautifully. And yet were so distinct. Equally heart warming was the cappucino. Aromatic, robust, complex and spicy.

    Yes it had peppery notes to it. Had the perfect cuppa after a long time. The spiked ice tea was as refreshing as it was meant to be. The mace, cloves, star anise and cinnamon played their parts to perfection in lending this drink just the right zing.

    What do I say about the signature donuts? I simply love those. But prefer mine a wee bit warm. Not at room temperature, as many do. Death by Chocolate and Alive by chocolate are my all time favourites. When not in the mood for a chocolate one, try the classic cinnamon one. Had the most wonderful afternoon. There is something for everyone. Value for money, it is worth a visit.

    I cannot wait to go back again. It was a pleasure eating the real burgers. I paid a visit to their Malad outlet. The menu was exciting as there was a specialty burger from every part of the world. A treat for football fans, literally. As if that was not enough, there were delectable potato wedges and salad to go with it. And the horseradish and mustard mayonnaise was equally exotic. My friend informed me that the burger patty was really juicy and succulent.

    A real palate pleaser. All these had a vegetarian version too apart from the Non vegetarian ones. And equally unusual, mind you. But the one that stole my heart was the Barry Burger from Jamaica. A coconut crumbled crabmeat patty topped with plantain chips and cheddar cheese. It was served with Cajun potato and salad and a chipotle mayonnaise. Words fail me, to describe the exquisite flavours. Only the burger patty was a wee bit wobbly and crumbled easily.
