London Dairy Strawberry Ice-Cream

Long weekend means time to relax, spend time with the family and catch up on some reading or watch films. And with all that happening food becomes a key highlight for such weekends when you sit back and relish the delicacies. 

On the supermarket visit we picked up the long desired London Dairy Strawberry ice-cream pack. At Kenyan Shillings 560 we have found this to be expensive and always put off the purchase. But last evening we decided to indulge and see what this product was all about. 

A complete delight. Natural tastes, no artificial flavours and ice-cream the way it should be. Money well-spent and we have been spoilt - our next try is going to the Tiramisu flavour. 

Sunday Foodie Delights

One of those Sundays which turns out to be a complete culinary delight.

Lunch at Nairobi Java Coffee House where I relished the Mushroom Chicken Breast.. I really like the mushroom sauce they make. And the fries are always tasty at Java. A meal so good can't be without a wonderful dessert to leave the sweetness of the afternoon lingering for a long time in your mouth. The massive Chocolate Cookie Sundae was ordered. Yes massive is an understatement - look at the size of those choco chip cookies and the 3 scoops of ice creams. Phew!

As if the lunch wasn't enough that the wife decided to make the dinner too very interesting. It was home cooked panini and a lovely bottle of red wine accompanied it. Pearly Bay has been my favorite since I first tasted it a few years back with some close friends in Mumbai.

Truly a delightful Sunday this has been. 2 more days of holidays in Kenya ... Here is to more good food and drinks.

Veg Gujarati Thali in Nairobi

One of my favourite restaurants in Nairobi for simple, good and no nonsense food is Ashiana Vegetarian Restaurant.

The veg thali is delicious and value for money. Nitika and I often go there and eat when we are tired and want a simple meal option. I have a stronger craving to eat there when I am alone in Nairobi.

Reminds me of what good home cooked meals are all about.

Must try!

Guinness Beer - Not my choice

Tried the black Guinness Beer a few weeks ago. Just didn't seem to like it. And my father-in-law said it was very strong and gave him a headache.

I guess I am avoiding this one for sure.

Godiva Dark Chocolate Pearls

My sister picked up this delicious pack of chocolate on her recent trip to Hong Kong. Chocolates like Godiva and Lindt are like the ultimate delights and this doesn't disappoint you at all. And dark chocolate in little drops is a tease for the taste buds.

They are yum and I am going to be looking out for them on my next international trip.

They are surely not available in Nairobi or Mumbai stores.
