EAT AROUND THE CORNER, MUMBAI
The best part of shopping is walking from one store to the next with all the bright colors all around. It feels like there is so much color to life. Its therapy at its best. There is nothing that a good shopping session can-not cure. Why waste 1000s of bucks on therapy when you can do the same on clothes and what not. Especially since you get to keep them. And added advantage is all the calories you get to burn. So after burning all these calories, dessert toh banta hai. Its like a custom among girls, to visit a dessert/coffee shop after a good shopping round. Well, most girls.
So after one such therapy a.k.a shopping session, we were looking for a good place to satiate the sweet cravings. Since this place was in the locality and again, also on my wishlist, we decided to step in here. But to step in here was a task, because we just couldn't find which corner was it located in. Now, that was our fault because it was actually just around the corner and would you believe that we almost took a rick for it. Since we couldn't locate it, we decided to take rick and as soon as we got one, there it was just on the opp side, a big board - EAT AROUND THE CORNER. These things can only happen with me. I suck at directions. and I am proud of it. :P
This place is BEAUTIFUL, I have been using that word a lot now a days but this place actually gives you that vibe. I loved the entrance, where there is a two sided door, white washed and the the walls all around blue. As you enter there is ample seating outside with a lot of space, They could probably accommodate a lot many people in this area, than they actually do. We decided to step inside, and the kitchen area/ billing counter/ display area is on the other side of the glass wall. Careful here, because you wouldn't realize there is actually a glass as a divider and you might just bump into it. No, fortunately, I didn't. I, almost did. So Points to cleanliness and hygiene. On the other side of this glass wall, is where he treasure lies. So much goodness displayed that you are bound to get confused. Which we did. There was so much and we wanted to have EVERYTHING. I think that is the thing with displaying food, especially if it is done as well as they have done here. It took us a good half and hr to decide from all the the different assortments. They have sandwiches, pizzas etc also on display but since we were looking for something sweet, we had foregone the section, as tempting as it was. Should leave something for next time as well.
The dessert section, what do I say. They have cheesecakes and fruit tarts and trifles, variety of breads, croissants and what not. Hence, it took us a good half n hr to decide what to have and in that too we had originally planned to have two dessert per person, but unfortunately we had already had a heavy lunch and the appetite didn't allow us to do so. So we Finally decided on a Mars Cheesecake, the classic Tiramisu, Chocolate Mousse and Double Chocolate Gateau. A fair warning to all. Do not try the cheesecake first, finish eating anything else and only then put your hands on the cheese cake. Why? Bcz I have had cheesecake from way too many places. And also just the name of cheesecake is enough to make me happy. But the one here is like MAGIC. One spoonful of cheesecake and you are not going to like anything else. like Seriously! That good. That everything else, however good, my hands were just reaching for this. So did my companions for the day. That doesn't mean you should not try anything else here. To do justice, everything was good to. In fact, was excellent. I even took a chocolate mousse home and had it the next day and enjoyed every last bite and was licking off the small container. But cheese cake? its foodgasm at its best. *sigh* I can feel the flavors lingering on my tongue even now. The Tiramisu as reported by my sister was excellent and she was caught red handed licking her fingers in broad daylight and double chocolate gateau is perfect for anybody who has a chocolate addiction.
Oh, also this place is celebrity frequented especially the ones seen on the small screen and I got a glimpse of two. Another one, I couldn't recognize but were also from the entertainment world as they couldn't stop talking about directors/ dialogues/dialogue delivery and the fairness/unfairness of it all. Which tells me no matter where you are working and in which field you will be complaining about somebody or the other.
Well, what do you do next? You head here for some Food Therapy. You will not regret.
