Living the Five-Star Life!

In keeping with tradition, we met up once again, and this time decided to try out Zen, The Asian Restaurant at The Park Hotel.

Anna, Devi, Divya and I had made a pact some time ago — to try and visit a five-star hotel at least once a month and experience, if only for an evening, the lifestyle of the rich! 😄

Of course, it was less about actually living the high life and more about finding an excuse to dress up, eat something nice and enjoy the ambience of a five-star hotel. And, most importantly, it gave us another opportunity to meet, catch up and indulge in our favourite pastime — enjoying each other's company.

Zen proved to be a lovely choice, with its Asian flavours and elegant setting providing just the right backdrop for our monthly escape into the world of luxury.

Our pact may have been a little fantastical, but the friendship was very real. After all, you don't really need to be rich to enjoy the finer things in life — sometimes, all you need is good food, good company and a few good friends willing to share the bill! 😄

Royal Lunch at Raajbarir Khawa

This was our second outing to Raajbarir Khawa; the first time around was a couple of months ago. And by coincidence I happened to find out that I knew the owner as he used to do a lot of catering for events done by my company.


Anyway today's visit was suggested by my in-laws as they had the urge for authentic Bengali cuisine for lunch. We got there by a little past 1pm, and had to wait for about an hour before we got a table.


Was it worth the wait. Definitely. It had struck me, while we were waiting, that if we ordered the food, we'd get it as soon as we got a table. And that is exactly what happened. As soon as we took our seats, the food was served and we got straight down to the business of eating. Relishing the tasty food would be the apt term for it.


So here's some pics from Raajbarir Khawa!
