TK's

Today was one of the best sundays i've had in a very long time.  For weeks now, i've been wanting to make a scene for "sunday brunch" at TK's. I have eaten there quite a few times and i must say that today the food was exceptional. 

Started off with the salad and sushi. They had this amazing lamb, cucumber and onion salad, which was divine. My cousin (Jared) had the lamb and onion soup, which he says was good but nothing exceptional. There was this very good pork dish in the salad section that we all seemed to like very much. But for me, the highlight of the salad was the lamb, cucumber and onion salad. 

Then came the main course. First the chef started of with this nice fried garlic, it was like small garlic ships. My recommendation is to crush the garlic chips and spread it over your food. It tastes amazing. Of course included in the sunday brunch is champagne. They make sure that your glass never gets empty. They keep coming and pouring more and more and more ... It makes the whole eating experience a lot more fun. Then i saw my cousin (Jason) having what I thought was orange juice, but it was a mimosa. Now, i had heard of mimosas but never actually tasted them and I must say that switching to a mimosa just changed the whole mood for me. It was new , it was fresh and was going very nicely with the food we were eating. 

The next thing we got was the tenderloin chopped steak. This mixed with some noodles was the unanimously voted the best dish. The beef was so tender and juicy. Just biting into the meat and sucking in the juices was so delicious. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Then prawn were ok, nothing great, I just had 2 pieces. The chicken was very good. Made in soya sauce. It was just the change in taste/mood i needed at that time. Of course everything was being washed down with the help of the lovely mimosas. 

The fish i felt was a little bland and had a lot of bones, so it definitely didn't excite me much. 

The only thing worth eating from the dessert counter was the mango cheesecake. 

Overall we had a blast ... I hadn't chilled with my cousins (Jason, Ekaterina & Jared) in so long. We kept laughing about stupid stuff and enjoying our food. Great service only one bad thing i noticed. Twice we ordered ice-cream and both times they didn't give us any spoon to eat it with. But all-in-all, amazing dining experience today. 

Would definitely give TK's a 8/10

Sakura ... Best Japanese place in delhi .... NOT !!!!!!

Sakura, a japanese restaurant in Metropolitan Hotel. Apparently this place has won "Best Japanese restaurant in Delhi" award 4 years in a row .... Thats just strange. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying the place is horrible. It's just over-priced and definitely not the best.

We started off with some sushi. Picked up some Nigiri and Maki rolls. The Nigiri had a nice variety, there was japanese egg, cuttle fish, tuna, salmon, tiger prawns, sea bass. I would give a thumbs up to the sushi, it was actually quite nice. It was sunday brunch with inclusive white sparkling wine (not champagne), we had some good sushi and sparkling wine on the side, we were off to a good start until we reached the second course. It was a buffet, so when i say course, i mean my own personal course. For japanese food, i always start with sushi, then move on to salad and meats and then the main course.

The tenderloin which is sliced and mixed with the salad was horrible. Even the salad itself was just tasteless. Usually salad leaves are so fresh and they have a nice taste to them, they are juicy as well. These were dry. The tenderloin was like rubber, so chewy, it was ridiculous. The Tempuras (Prawn and Broccoli) were below average. The marinated chicken was the only good thing from my second course. The other stuff was so bad, that I couldn't finish it, I left it halfway and started my third course. The potato salad was a disaster, just bland.

The rice and the chicken teriyaki was honestly the only decent thing over there. The other stuff didn't even have a good look to it. The prawn dish had a weird smell to it, so I didn't even bother serving myself any of that. But i did thoroughly enjoy the rice and chicken teriyaki. I ate it slowly and kept sipping on the white sparkling wine. They kept re-filling my glass. Even though the food was bad in this place, the service was good. Although I did run into a rookie. I asked him a question about the food and he started answering something totally different, he was nervous. As the manager saw that, he quickly ran over to answer my questions. Here's a tip pal ... KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SERVING AND LEARN WHAT GOES GOOD WITH IT BEFORE YOU STAND THERE AS A MEMBER OF THE STAFF.

Then came dessert. Now, i must say that I give them a 10 on 10 for having the balls to try something like this, but a 0 on 10 for taste. They had weird flavours of ice cream --- Green Tea, Wasabi, Red Kidney Bean and some black japanese leaf thing, forgot the name and NO i'm not talking about Sea weed. It was actually quite funny and horrible at the same time. I had to order a normal chocolate and vanilla ice cream to actually enjoy my dessert and get the weird taste out of my mouth. I ordered ice cream because their dessert sucked balls as well.

Best japanese place in delhi ??? Definitely not this one .... My vote goes to TK's. TRUST ME ... If you are hungry for japanese food, go to TK's NOT SAKURA.
