Give Your Weekend Morning a Different Twist

We all want our mornings to be delighted and cheerful. But this seems to be difficult during weekdays; however, you can make your mornings happy over the weekends.

We always want to meet our friends over the weekends or try to complete the leftover tasks from the weekdays. But we never pick out some time for ourselves. Do things that make us feel good or our watch that long due movie we always wanted to watch. Following weekend why not take some time out so that you can cherish the beauty that you are.

Now, if you are wondering what you can probably do then here is a list of few things that can make you feel happy about yourself this weekend.

1. If you are a book worm, you can always pick your favourite novel from your cupboard and re-read it over cups of coffee, or ice-cream. There is always an option of buying a new one. You can also buy something other than the usual genre that you read.

2. Walk out your place. Go and travel somewhere you have never been to. There is always a room for short trips over the weekends. If not out of town, then there must definitely be places you would not have gone in your own city. Try and explore around you to give your wanderlust a stop.

3. Baking is one of the most stress-relieving hobbies you can opt for. It not only makes you improve your baking skill, but you get to eat self-made cake or dessert. The Internet is always to your rescue for the same. There are a number of cakes or dessert recipes available over the internet for you to try your hand on.

4. Dedicate an evening to yourself. Treat yourself out to a dinner or maybe in one of the posh bars in Mumbai. Dress your best, relax and savour yourself in your favourite cuisine.

5. Animal therapy is another way that makes you feel relaxed and give yourself a time that is without any stress or tension. It is believed that animals are very positive for humans and they create an environment around us that makes us happy. If you have a pet at your place, that’s great. If not, you can always go to animal shelters that let you play with them for some time.

6. Good breakfast on a weekend is like the cherry on the top. Usually, because of your busy schedules, you might get proper time to cook or have a proper breakfast. The weekend can fill that with a surplus delight. There are many breakfast places in Delhi that will make your morning full of delight.

Must Have Smoke Food that should be on your Food List

Meat lovers need no introduction to Smoked food. It is a method of preparing red meat and fish, originating from a very long period. The reason behind smoking food is to hold its richness of protein, which otherwise goes away too quickly. The smoked is different in flavour and makes fabulous delicacies around the world.

Smoked food is getting popular, because of the new ways chefs are adopting to prepare it. In India too, it has been immensely popular.  Here is the list of smoked food in Bangalore, which you would love to enjoy.

Montreal smoked meat is considered as the emblematic delicacy of the city. It is so popular that tourists particularly visit Montreal to have this special smoked meat. Hands slice warm Montreal smoked meat is continuously steamed and cooked on demand.

Pastrami is also one kind of smoked meat, but people who consume it on regular basis and are die-hard fans believe it not be the one. It is because of the difference in flavour, seasoning and colour of the Pastrami. 

Southern BBQ originated from the southern of United States, also known as Barbeque. This involves the slow and low heating of the meat, at a very tender temperature. Barbeque is very common in the American households and is made with different meats and styles.

Kassler is German cuisine means “salted pork”. Softened with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, it can be served hot or cold smoked. However, at some places chicken is also prepared “Kassler” style.

Smoked egg involves smoking of eggs and fish eggs. Eggs are smoked after they are boiled or uncooked eggs in the hell. You can always find a separate dish of smoked eggs, but generally, they are used to add flavour to any smoked meat.

You’ll find these few smoked dishes at restaurants in Bangalore.  One of the places you would want to visit to have smoked food is Smoke House Deli. They have smoked delicacies that’ll make you love meat even more. They have dishes with authentic flavours and serve them with utmost hospitality. They also have various other treats you can try out from, like lamb burgers, tenderloin steak, etc. Smoke House not only gives you food that is scrumptious, but also exclusive. 

Know the food culture of Bangalore

Bangalore is the capital city of Karnataka, the largest state in south India. It is almost in the center of peninsular India and almost at an equal distance from eastern and western ghats. It is a hilly area and all these factors provide a maritime climate to the city. The main language spoken here is kannada and the people are known as kannadigas. The food culture of the city is great as the south indian cuisines of bangalore are best in the region. It is a very well managed city and being the IT hub of india, is host to many of technical companies Indian or foreign.

The people from north India, especially from delhi may find problems in adjusting with the food culture of Bangalore as street food variety is not as prominent here. To find the standards and taste of food similar to that of Delhi, you can visit the best restaurants in bangalore where you can find all the types of cuisines including Indian as well as global. To suddenly develop the taste of a certain area can be difficult however there are many good restaurants especially in the areas close to or on MG Road and Brigade Road.  Most of the explicit places to eat and dine are situated in this area.

Since the south indian dishes are very light most of the dishes are available for breakfast as well as lunch. There are a lot of good breakfast places in Bangalore and many of them operate in chains. The best part of the breakfast in restaurants in bangalore is the explicit filter coffee locally grown in the hilly areas of karnataka. The other things to order in breakfast can vary according to your taste. In many areas of bangalore you can find a mean hamburger, in others you can find the best mix of various global and Indian cuisines.   

Enjoy a yummy brunch at Smoke House Deli

Looking for a nice place to brunch? Welcome to Smoke House Deli! It’s a cozy place to chill with your friends. Good food a warm ambience that has stories for you, the company of some cool friends and a bottled of your chilled favourite, this is what fairy tale Sunday’s are all about.

The staff believes that food is art and very rightly so, they make sure you enjoy your time while you are here. Chef Glyston Gracias wanted to create a family style dining experience and has very well succeeded in doing the same. The food is served in rich quantities intended to be shared, encouraging you to indulge in conversation and engage with your meal rather than your phone. This fine dining experience is outside the confines of formality and into a space that is relaxed and even quirky. There are QR codes on the walls that tell stories! Now who wouldn’t love that? The monochrome interiors are very classy indeed.

This Indo-European decor is quite a conversation in itself.

Smoke House has many outlets across Delhi, my favourite being the one in Hauz Khas Village, situated at the end in a secluded spot that makes it all the more cozy. They have a wide range of food that you can pamper yourself with, and their signatures are of course a must have. If you haven’t yet tried the Smoke House signature burgers, you haven’t experienced the best of food! Be it their Smoked Chicken & Oregano burger with old bay seasoning or the Crumbed Curried Vegetable burger, they have perfected the balance of the right amount of flavour and crispness that keeps you coming back for more.

So if you haven’t already visited one of the Smoke House Deli’s, then I hope my blog has convinced you to plan your next outing with your friends and family to be at one of the best restaurants of Delhi. Wish you a hearty meal, Cheers!
