Well, it was a regular Wednesday evening where I was coming back from office while brooding about how to survive the rest of the two days before weekend, was having a Whatsapp fight of sorts with a friend, and was feeling ‘meh’ remembering that the Wi-Fi at home wasn’t working. Well, that was when I…

6 Places in Kolkata which will make you fall in Love with Tea
To tea or not to tea is never the question. The first thing I do after reaching office is to nag my Canteen-Dada to give me my mug of hot water to dip my tea bag into (my stash at office currently has Moroccan Mint Tea, Tulsi Green Tea and Earl Grey). And as I…
A Sunny Sunday at Serafina
Serafna is one of my favorite fancy places to eat out in the city. The food here is amazing, and they certainly know how to make some mind-blowing risotto. The meats, in dark, rich, caramelized glazings are every meat-lovers’ dream come true. The desserts too are elegant, specially their signature tiramisu with an ample punch…
Lombardy Festival at La Cucina, Hyatt Regency, Kolkata
Every visit of mine to La Cucina has been very special in its own ways, and this last one a few days back was no different. The occasion of this particular mid-week lunch visit was to have a taste of the some simple yet beautiful cooking by Chef Ferrari from the Lombardy region of Italy….
Whiskey Wednesdays at the Irish House
Irish House, Kolkata is one of the coolest places in town to grab a drink and munch on some seriously good food. And their coolness quotient has now been amped up further as their Whiskey Wednesdays give the city peeps a mid-week breather. I went there a few days back, on an invitation to their…
7 New Age Asian Dining Places to Rush to in Kolkata:
Growing up in a house where eating out was a bi-weekly ritual, the most pertinent question presented to me and my sister by my parents would be “Moghlai, Chinese na Continental?” Based on the answer the choice would be made amongst Kwality (Moghlai), Barbeque (Chinese) or Peter Cat (Continental), all standing tall in their full…
To Love or Not to Love ‘The Love Room’, the first Pet-Friendly Café in Town
Well honestly, I am not a pet enthusiast by any stretch of imagination. So when my friends were super-excited about visiting Love Room, the first pet-friendly cafe in Kolkata, I was rather skeptical about how the set up would be, if the in-house pets will be all over me or not, etc. On my visit…
What’s cooking in the Kitchen@ JW Marriott?
JW Marriot had stirred up a lot of curiosity for a lot many months in the city, before it opened its doors for guests. And finally when it did open for guests, such was the rush that it was nearly impossible to get a booking at the JW Kitchen. So on 28th December, I was…
Monkey Bar: Of Kickass Cocktails, Drool-worthy Bites and a Stunning View of the City!
The first gastropub chain of the country spreads its branch to Calcutta, and that’s reason enough for me to hop in happiness. For the uninitiated, Gastropubs are places where the focus is equally on food and on the drinks, unlike regular restaurants which focus on food and serve some drinks too or like pubs primarily…
The Big, Red Box of Happiness:)
Like any other mundane Friday, last Friday I was sitting at my desk in office, trying my best to go through the more urgent ones of the files from the dusty heap on the table in front of me. It was just then that I was told that somebody has come to meet me, right…
Our Honeymoon: Of joy, learning and getting to know each other
Fifteen months ago when I had thought of starting a food blog, I had wanted to create an archive of my thoughts and memories attached to food. Very little did I know that it would go on to become so much more than that. Today after 15 months since the inception of BiteChompGulp, it has…
The coolest new Burger hot-spot in town at My Big Fat Belly
My love for burgers, sliders, sandwiches and wraps is a saga worth celebrating. Fillings and dressings, with a touch of seasoning, between two pieces of bread are what my dreams are made up of. So the ‘My Big Fat Belly’, the newly opened place in Sarat Bose Road, is totally my kind of a place!…
