Take me back to the Foodpanda’s Bites and Vibes event please!
Thanks to Foodpanda and their team for inviting me to [EVENT] and giving me a platform to meet my fellow bloggers and it was wonderful experience! The weather was perfect, the food was aplenty, and what is there to complain about to taste and enjoy different cuisine in one place at affordable prices?? So before I get too much into it, let’s start with the basics.What is the Foodpanda’s Bites and Vibes Event?
Foodpanda has recently gone beyond being just a local food delivery service and have begun incorporating events into their repertoire of all things food.

Located on the Royal Palm Country Golf Club. For more details about the event and ticket prices check out my previous article here.
I was super stoked to be part of this incredible food festival. I went the event with great expectations and it did not disappoint me at all. As soon as I entered the tent enclosed area of where the festival was held, the aroma of food rising from different stalls made the atmosphere extremely delightful.
Deli Delights, Spoonful, Shut Up & Eat, Downtown Foodies, Galito’s, Buffalo Wings and Rings, Popeye’s Chicken, Bamboo Union, Maro Tandoor, Dessert Desire, Hakuna Matata, The Waffle House, Cravea and Grab Your Meal also had their stalls at the food festival.

Overall, it was a very well organized event and my bro and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it! In addition to the food, appetizers, and desserts, there was the 7up stall to pairing the spicy food (Mana Lo Food Ka Love) and small kids zone and games for more fun times. Definitely an event I would go to again next season!

But the best thing about the Bites and Vibes food festival was that every food item will not exceed the Rs. 200 price!
On a completely random side note though, a cool thing I noticed there was a photo booth for Selfie Lovers and a spinning wheel to win prizes. For those of you who attended the event, Have You Tried…??? Let me know down below!
*This post and the work done with foodpanda for ‘bites and vibes’ was not paid work, but we were given tickets to use at the event. All commentary and opinions are my own.
Time to think about being prepared for inclement weather and other things that come with the season changing. What better way to welcome The winter than with a food festival, a gathering of love, culture and food. 🙂

This salad came to my mind right as I was falling asleep.
Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking.
Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!
Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs
I’ve made many a Bean salad before, but this one is special. This is the answer to the question, “What’s super cozy, flavorful and perfect for any BBQ Party?” It’s a great addition to any summer get together!
This Pakistani/Italian flavor pairing came to mind, and the recipe is adapted from my all-time favorite Bean Salad. One super easy thing you can prep ahead is beans. I love beans because you can make them so many different ways and they’re packed with protein, slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber. Their nutritional profile makes them ideal for prepping before a workout and recovering after a workout. If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, they’re great for that too since they make you feel full longer.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy beans during the warmer months is with my Bean Salad. It’s super easy to make and it tastes really yummy too! This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 minutes to prepare! You can eat it all on its own (what I normally do) or dress it up by adding some more chopped veggies to it. It’s also great added to some greens either in a wrap or in a salad.
Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs
The dressing is SO easy (and dreamy).
Italian herbs are blended with vinegar . Add olive oil water to thin and ‘voila!’ You have a super yummy, tangy Italian dressing ready to coat those gorgeous bean salad. Look at that salad goodness.
This would make the perfect side dish for BBQ Party, or any get together, really. It yields four entrée-sized portions or 8 sides, so multiply as needed. Although it’s delicious on its own, it would pair extremely well with my Grilled Lamb Chops, and my Grilled Italian Chicken.
Bismillah, let’s get started the recipe!!

The Easiest Bread Pizza
I could eat pizza all day, every day. But I don’t always have the time to make my own crust. Delivery adds up, and store bought crusts tend to be pretty low quality. That’s where this bread pizza recipe comes in. It isn’t even so much of a recipe, per se, but a guideline for happiness.
I love it for many reasons.
First, it fits the quick and easy bill beautifully. Simply places the bread slices, brush with butter, and give it a little broil to create that crunchy-on-the-outside but soft-and-chewy-on-the-inside texture that’s so wonderful in this easiest bread pizza. Then slather on some prepared sauce, load on the toppings, and give it all a quick 6 to 8 minute bake in the oven. Done. Add a side salad or some fresh fruit, and dinner’s served.
Second, it tastes delicious. Before piling on the toppings, the bread itself is seasoned with garlic powder and oregano for a little added flavor touch. And then with the classic “supreme” combination of toppings, how could it not be tasty, right?
Third, it’s versatile. Change up the toppings to suit any personal tastes. Don’t like veggies? No problem … leave them off. Want more cheese? Great! … load it up. Or hey, get totally crazy and prepare each bread toast differently … perhaps Supreme for one slice, and just pepperoni and cheese for the other. Or, if you like more unique pizza flavor combinations, give My Favorite French Bread Pizza a whirl.
Fourth, it reheats well. If you don’t mind soft bread all around, a quick zap in the microwave works great. For that classic bread pizza touch-of-crunch, pop the pizza back in a preheated oven for just a couple of minutes and you’re good to go.
And fifth, The Easiest Bread Pizza isn’t just great for a quick and easy dinner, it’s always fabulous for game-day {or any day} snacking, too. Bake some up and slice into fingers for a tasty treat while you’re cheering on your favorite team.
The Easiest Bread Pizza
Bread pizza is one of the quickest & easiest snacks that you can make with minimal ingredients. All you need is of course some bread slices, veggies of your choice, pizza sauce, cheese, leftover chicken, and some seasoning. Easy right?
To make the bread pizza healthier use whole wheat breads or any bread that you fancy. Garlic bread would taste great too.
The Easiest Bread Pizza
There are a few tricks to making this bread pizza taste its best. First, you’ll want to toast the bread for about 5 minutes by itself to crisp it up a bit. Then you’ll add the pizza sauce , cheese (a good melty mozzarella) and your favorite toppings (I liked veggie version, but you can add leftover tikka, seekh kebabs, cooked mince, mushrooms etc choices are endless ) before returning it to the oven to get the cheese melty and the pizza glistening.
And that’s all there is to it! This is great recipe to make with your kids or better yet, let your kids make themselves.
So easy, so yummy!
The Easiest Bread Pizza
Allow to cool for a few minutes, slice and enjoy!
For dinner, I’ll serve it alongside a big salad. For lunch, I usually put out veggies and hummus to go with it. And for an ea snack, I cut each toast into fourths and serve it with fruit. They’re easy to make, easy to eat and easy to clean up after. YES!!

The Flower Shaped Buns. So elusive. So Cute. So majestic. So eye-catching
How do you make them? Is there too hard to shape? Is there a complicated technique? Is it wizardry?
Just a few of the thoughts I had before attempting these beauties. However, I’m elated to report that if you can master my Vegetable Stuffed Buns & Baby Chicken Bread (and you totally can), you can master the Flower Shaped Buns, too!
These flower shaped buns are simple to make and cute to look at.
Flower Shaped Buns
It all starts with a simple dough that rises in 1 hour. To keep things a little on the healthier side, I went with a 2:1 mix of unbleached all purpose and whole wheat pastry flour for slightly-hearty-but-still-decadent buns.
You could also go entirely all-purpose for true bakery style, all whole-wheat pastry for a healthier buns, or some other combination that I haven’t thought of!
So how are these simple? I’m glad you asked.
13 ingredients including seasonings (sesame seeds being the 14th and optional ingredient) One true rise = less waiting Fool-proof methods No fancy techniques or equipment involved
See? You can totally do this. Believe it.

Bismisllah Let’s Get This Started !
Ingredients You will Need:
For Buns Dough
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoon milk powder
1/2 cup water (might use less)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoon oil
4 tablespoon melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Chicken Filling
2 cups boiled chicken, shredded
1 large red onion, finel chopped
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chili, crushed
4 tablespoon coriander leaves
4 green chilies, finely chopped
1 cup milk
For Assembling Buns
white & black sesame seeds, as required
1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tsp milk, for brushing the buns before baking
How to Make Flower Shaped Buns:
Step 1: Sieve the flour and dry milk powder in a large mixing bowl. Make three holes in the flour, and then put sugar, yeast, and salt in each hole. Gently cover the holes with the flour. Then add the oil, melted butter and the egg, and combine together.
Step 2: Pour lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Start kneading together and gradually add the lukewarm water a little at a time. You may not need to use all the water, so add it sparingly until your dough comes together and is nice and soft. Knead for a good 10-15 minutes.When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done. (Note: The more you knead the dough, the softer the buns will be).
Step 3:Touch a bit of oil with your fingertips and apply all over the ball of dough. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap or cover with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place for 40 minutes to an hour for it to double in size.
Step 4 :To Make Chicken Filling – Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a frying pan or wok. Saute onion in butter until transculant. Add flour, salt, pepper and red chili and cook for 2-3 minutes. Now add milk and cook for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add shredded chicken, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves. Stir until well combined and remove from the heat. Let it cool completely.
Step 5: When the dough has risen into a nice big size, take the dough out of the bowl and Punch it down to remove some of the air in the dough.
Step 6:Divide the dough into 16-18 balls, depending on the size of buns you would like.
Step 7: Gently roll out each piece of dough and make a round ball. Flatten a ball until it is about 3 inches in diameter and place 2 tablespoon of chicken filling in the center.
Step 8:Pull up the edges of the rolled out dough and pinch together to firmly seal the filling within.
Step 9:Put the sealed part face down on the board and press the dough into about a 2 inch diameter. Make 8 decorative slits around the edge, equally spaced apart (either using a pizza cutter or sharp knife or even a pair of kitchen scissors).
Step 10 : Place the prepared buns on a greased cooking sheet or tray and cover with a light cloth and let them rise for about 20 minutes to half an hour.
Step 11:Brush each bun with beaten egg yolks and put some black and white sesame seeds in the center of the each bun.
Step 12: Bake the buns, in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.
Step 13: Remove and brush the buns top with melted butter (it will give nice shiny look) and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.. Flower Shaped Buns are ready to serve. ENJOY with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Flower Shaped Buns are definitely a treat for weekend Tea Party. Especially when served with a luxurious garlic sauce generously topped with mayonnaise.

When I begin to think about cakes, the first ingredient that comes to mind is chocolate! And what if your chocolate cake full of chocolate chips, topped with creamy chocolate ganache and dark chocolate? Then, we are talking about one of the most decadent chocolate cakes – Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake.
Chocolate in three forms, makes this cake extra chocolaty—and extra delicious. A chocolate lover’s dream come true!!!
Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake
Since I began blogging, there are a few fantastic recipes which made me say, “Wooow, I hope I will be able to make something like this some day”. Of course, after a good look and many photos of these desserts, I always gave up not having enough belief in my baking possibilities.
But, with time, after a lot of experience and time spent in the kitchen, my confidence began to grow. And in time missions in the kitchen that looked impossible were beginning to be solved. So I began to flirt with recipes like Chocolate Mousse Cake, Banana Chocolate Loaf Cake and similar.
Well, today it was turn for another chocolate masterpiece, Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake. Only one look at the photos of this divine chocolate cake always made me drool.
Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake
A heavenly delicious chocolate cakeyou’ve been dreaming of! So good, every bite is worthy of a celebration! After all, there is never too much chocolate, right?! It’s pure decadence in every single bite!!!
Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake
I have to admit this cake is not the prettiest cake but with that chocolate ganache and grated dark chocolate on top it dresses it up and makes it look scrumptious.
You can serve this cake warm without ganache or cold with creamy ganache on top. I can guardsmen that there will be no leftovers of this cake. If you have chocolate lovers around you better stand back because they will run you over just to get a piece of this cake. This chocolate cake is wonderful for birthdays, bake sales, tea parties or any gathering.
If you are not a true chocoholic then move on. But if you are, then you must try this Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake!!!
