Travel Feasts
Craving of the Day: Cappuccino from Agharta Jazz Club in Prague
A yummy cappuccino I had while in Prague. A+ for presentation, although it could have been served a little hotter. The experience of the intimate, underground jazz club in Old Town Square more than compensated for it though.

Craving of the Day: Lattes and Italian Pastries in Rome, Italy
When my girlfriends and I went to Rome recently, we rented an apartment in Monteverde, where the we became the local neighborhood ladies’ favorites at a cafe we frequented every morning.
One day, my friend Shahla and I, being the caffeine fiends we are, decided we needed to go for a second round of coffee and dessert. This time, we ventured in the opposite direction of our usual spot. We didn’t have to go far though — not even a block away we found Caffè Negresco.

Okra at the Marriott, Hyderabad, India
Hellllo Hyderabad...view from an auto!
With my lovely cousin, Fatima. Beautiful view from the outside. Not so beautiful stench from the Hussain Sagar Lake right below.
So, I’m in India. Which basically means having the best food ever every day
.
Bad news is I haven’t had my camera on me for most of this feasting, though I still have some pictures scattered around from borrowed cameras. More to come on that.
It’s been hard to even think about eating out when my family has been making such amazing food at home. Today though, I finally ate out at two hotels for breakfast and a mini lunch — the latter at the Marriott in Hyderabad for some appetizers and dessert. I was too full from eating earlier to have anything more!!
Chicago: Orange you hungry?
While in Chicago recently, my friend Katie and I did brunch at Orange for the first time.
Apparently, brunch foods are this restaurant’s specialty, which is a mini-chain throughout chi-town.
I tried the French Toast Kabob, which is a coconut-infused toast skewered with fresh strawberries and pineapples, topped with honey and served with coconut-mango salad. Sounded enticing enough.
I miss everything in Berlin, especially the food.
I recently went to Berlin for a couple of days, and in retrospect, I don’t think any of the food I had were signature “German” dishes. My new friend Nina, who took us around, said they’re big on sausage. I don’t eat sausage, so this was a problem.
We were staying in the Mitte area of the city, and the first night we stopped in a place called Courage Cafe. Cheesy name, I know, but the food was SO tasty that it totally made up for that fact.
