Spicy crystallized pineapple from California, and a little macro lens fun :)

So this is one of the few things that came out of the kitchen and turned out to taste well. They look like cupcakes but they aren't.

I don't have a name for this yet but this is chicken, spinach and cheese (with a few other ingredients)- all baked.

The best thing about traveling is getting a chance to savor the local cuisine. The foodie in me plays a big role in deciding where to go on a holiday. And yes I do travel with a list of restaurants ready!

Travel-o-food Delhi
On a recent trip to India's capital Delhi, I was of course blown away by the amount of good food available. So much so that I did manage to put on a few kilos, but it was much to my delight!
Pictured here is the ultimate chicken tikka from a traditional Indian roadside eatery- Rajinder da dhaba. The thing about these quintessential dhabas are although you might not like to sit there and eat, you cannot resist the amazing aromas each one carries. Rajinder Singh is known among the Green Park area residents for this scrumptious, succulent and perfectly spiced chicken tikka. Served in a little bowl made of dried leaves, with cool mint and yoghurt chutney on the side, his chicken morsels will melt in your mouth leaving behind an irresistible aftertaste of tandoori spices. Like so many other traditional eateries, this one started out as the eatery for taxi drivers, truckers and assorted transport people. Now though, you can sit in his air conditioned hall and enjoy.
Oh and I only managed one shot because I couldn't wait to tuck in!

Tried a Falafel Man'ousheh yet?
All Photos: Arva Ahmed, I live in a Frying Pan. You can read her post here.
Note: Having known Arva couple years now, our manakish discussions have always been interesting. So when I mentioned the falafel manakish a while ago, it just had to be tested. Who cares if it took 8 months to actually make the trip happen. I'm excited then, to bring you a joint foodie post - the first of its kind. Think of it like a special episode.
Note 2: The word man'ousheh in our post is not some kind of auto-correct defect. It's the singular of manakish in Arabic. Yes it is. No, it's not right to say can I have a manakish with cheese. Yes, we know you've said it before, we have too. No, it's never too late to change.
Chirag had told me about these falafel manakish in Karama. That’s like waving a bone in front of a dog, go fetch. I barked till he agreed to take me there.

For me, mexican food comes with a truckload of childhood memories (ok, some adult ones too) associated with it - from the weird experimentations that eventually lead to a decent home-made burrito to trying a variety of taco and quesedilla makers in the market (none of them worked, incidentally), to eating them in all forms - the traditional Maria Bonita style, the fast food Taco Bell style (okay, not anymore) and a few others in between.

Amerigos has something for everyone
So when I was asked to check out Amerigos, I was excited - but I also didn't look them up beforehand so I didn't fully know what to expect. My previous experience in the Yas Marina Circuit was actually rather good; but taking your parents along when reviewing food can always be tricky, what with specific food preferences and them having to wait while I snap up pictures of life, the universe and everything.
Now for those of you who want the answer quickly, Amerigos passed!
