Soupy Maggie Noodles

Tried and nibbled Maggie noodles from the divergent belt of mores, but none can beat the taste maker of Indian Maggie noodles. Kick of sour tang, punch of spicy flavor is what always let me down in noodles resulting in disillusion of choices, maybe this is the reason why my hands are always on the Indian masala Maggie noodles considering its minimal taste in spices and perfect makings of noodles with any blends of veggies. I usually love the cotton soft and gentle spirals that melts quickly in my mouth, curls with amazing mild piquancy, savoriness and loving taste of garlic and flavorsome cilantro balances well with sliced onions and other set of refreshing veggies of course. 

Edible Pani Puri Shots

This crunchy bubble shaped snack filled with chickpea and other saucy toppings along with some manner of spicy and flavorful drink brings freshness in my life. Small restaurants oft serve them with the addition of mash potatoes and boiled sprouts or crunchy boondi with chilled and spicy drink. Our sojourn took us to the curvaceous roads in search of this dainty goodie, we stopped for snacking on the way to Jumeirah beach. Hashim found the restaurant on the motorway, we sat on the veranda in bright sunlight. The food was so simple and fresh, that was the loved meal that made me travel down the road to the memory lane of Mumbai.
