Mezcals Tequila Bar & Restaurant, Cooma

Posted on August 16, 2024 | Leave a comment

While staying in Cooma for our snow trip, we decided to have lunch at Mezcals Tequila Bar & Restaurant. Initially, we were a bit hesitant as the restaurant was empty when we arrived, but that uncertainty quickly faded once we experienced the place’s unique charm. The ambiance was delightful, with beautiful artwork adorning the walls, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

We ordered a range of dishes, including quesadillas, chicken nachos, burritos, and paella. Each dish was outstanding, bursting with flavour and expertly prepared. The quesadillas were perfectly crispy, the chicken nachos were generously topped with savoury ingredients, the burritos were packed with a tasty blend of fillings, and the paella was a hearty and flavourful treat. Every bite was a pleasure, and we were all thoroughly satisfied. Even the kids enjoyed their meals and left their plates clean.

The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. It was clear that Mezcals offers excellent value for money. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

If you find yourself in Cooma, Mezcals Tequila Bar & Restaurant is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming setting. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Tao Restaurant and Bar, Sydney : Review

Posted on August 15, 2024 | Leave a comment

Just had an incredible dining experience at Tao Restaurant and Bar in the city! From start to finish, everything was top-notch, and I can’t wait to share the details.

The ambiance at Tao was perfect for our get-together. We were lucky to snag a spacious corner table for our party of eight, which made for a fantastic evening. As we settled in, we began with a round of cocktails and wines that set the tone for a great night ahead.

Our appetizers were nothing short of exceptional. We kicked things off with Shepherd’s Purse Wonton, paired with Red Chilli Oil and Sesame Paste—so flavourful! The Chicken San Choy Bao was a delightful bite, and the Salt and Pepper Tofu was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The Typhoon Shelter Style Eggplant with Garlic & Chilli was a standout, offering a deliciously spicy kick.

For the mains, we were in for a treat. We enjoyed the Braised Eggplant with Chicken Mince and Szechuan Chilli Paste—a harmonious blend of Flavors. The Stewed Plum Duck with Five Spices and Grapes was tender and succulent, while the Red Braised Pork Belly with Greenlip Abalone, Black Soya Sauce, and Plum was rich and indulgent. The Pan Seared Scallops with Braised Foie Gras Paste, Sugar Snap Peas, and Mushrooms were a culinary highlight. Each dish was meticulously prepared and absolutely mouthwatering.

While everything was delicious, my personal favourites were the eggplant and the pork. The combination of flavours and textures was simply unbeatable.

To cap off the evening, we were given fortune cookies. Mine cheekily said ‘Travel,’ which I took as a sign that it’s time to start planning my next adventure!

Overall, we had a fantastic time catching up with friends over such delectable food. I wholeheartedly recommend Tao Restaurant and Bar. Just a heads up—make sure to book in advance, especially on weekends, as it gets quite busy!

Piro Jeera Aloo (Hot cumin potatoes)

Posted on July 11, 2024 | Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share with you a super simple and delicious recipe using just potatoes and some spices. It’s perfect for those days when your pantry is running low. Let’s get started! 

Ingredients:

• Potatoes : 1/2 kg
• Turmeric powder : 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili powder : 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds : 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili flakes : 1 teaspoon
• Oil : 2 teaspoons
• Water : as required


First, we’ll start by boiling the potatoes. I like to use a pressure cooker for this, but you can use any method you prefer. Make sure the potatoes are not overcooked.

Once the potatoes are boiled, peel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Now, let’s make a spice paste. In a bowl, add some turmeric powder and chili powder. Add a little water and mix well to form a paste. Set this aside.

Next, take a pan and heat some oil. When the oil is hot, add some cumin seeds and chili flakes. Wait until they turn brown.

Now, add the spice paste we made earlier and fry for a few minutes.

Add the boiled potatoes and mix everything well. Cover the pan and let it cook for a few minutes so all the spices blend perfectly.

And there you have it! Our delicious Piro Jeera Aloo is ready. Enjoy it with rice, Chiura (beaten rice), or roti.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you try this recipe and love it as much as I do. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more delicious recipes. See you next time
