Coppetto Artisan Gelato Mumbai Review | Vegetarian Dessert Bonanza Feast | Food Review | Food Photography

Welcome to the gelato paradise that will ensure your new year resolution of dieting goes for a toss like it did for me :P But hey,this is what cheat days are for! 

Located just round the corner from Moti Mahal, an elegant small outlet serving creamy gelato with exotic flavors. Each flavor is made of real gourmet ingredients, so if we choose chocolate we get real chocolate, not artificial flavor. If we want guava, we get real guava in every scoop, not synthetic guava syrup. 

The display looks delicious, each flavor tempting and worth a try. Staff is very polite, helpful, efficient and gelato can be opted for in cups or cones, single flavor as well as half & half. Even small cups are generously filled to the brim so I won't complain about prices, they are reasonable for premium quality. The whole vibe here is positive and luxurious. 

I actually tried every single flavor and honestly am hard pressed to find fault in anything. If I have to nitpick, maybe strawberry cheesecake would be the weakest flavor for me because I could discern the strawberry but no cheesecake, and also the cookies and cream was not very appealing for me. But other than these, I loved literally every single flavor. (Also, taste is subjective so what I don't like may very well be loved by someone else) 

FERRERO ROCHER - Real ferrero flavor, I paired it with Pista,lovely :D 

PISTACHIO- Dear God, the creamiest version of Pistachio, soft and serene, a must-must-try :) 

DARK CHOCOLATE - Smoothest, sinful dark chocolate version of gelato, cannot share with anyone :P I paired it with Amarena. 

AMARENA - Vanilla with Sour Cherries, this was my favorite, a bit tangy, a whole lot creamy, very calorific :D This and dark chocolate together made me go in #foodcoma 

GUAVA SORBET - Remember those childhood days of eating guava slices with chilli powder on top during summer? This is a repeat telecast of that exact taste. Cannot miss this tangy icy delight. I paired it with Kiwi Banana. 

KIWI BANANA SORBET- There was less of banana and more of Kiwi in this, making this a super tangy and sharp flavor, loved it with guava alongside, perfect for scorching summer afternoons. Ensure you are not allergic to tanginess overload when having these! 

HAZELNUT - For those who do not prefer the dense dark chocolate version, go for this milder version. I paired it with Raspberry. 

RASPBERRY SORBET -Another tangy berry-licious flavor, for those trying to ward off summer or needing something lighter than a creamy gelato flavor. Loved the color and punch of raspberries in every bite! So I tried to cut down on my calorie intake by trying every flavor in a half and half cup version, still must have indulged in about 5000 kcal in a single afternoon. 

My initial plan was to just have 1-2 flavors and scoot but once I started trying, just couldn't stop. Coppetto gets my hulk level appreciation for creating this gelato heaven. Hulk Happy. Must Eat More Gelato Here. Over and Out. :)

Beauty Review | Forest Essentials Nargis Velvet Silk Body Cream | Luxury Beauty Brand | Indian Fashion Lifestyle Blogger

Forest Essentials products are among the best beauty products I have ever tried. In fact, Forest Essentials Ubtan and Forest Essentials Bhringraj & Shikaki Hair Cleanser are my absolute favorites. Their lip scrubs, conditioners, body wash and face wash are pretty good too. They craft some luxurious beauty products using ancient Ayurvedic secrets. That is why I did not think twice before picking up Forest Essentials Nargis Velvet Silk Body Cream for some much-needed TLC for my body!

As always, Packaging of Forest Essentials Nargis Velvet Silk Body Cream is very luxurious and the little tub is beautiful to look at as well as travel friendly. Its Ingredients list includes a who's who of beneficial agents such as Sweet Almond oil, Jojoba seed oil, Olive fruit oil, Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Vitamin E and so on! Claims to smoothen body skin, increase elasticity, soften skin like silk. It is available in Forest Essentials stores as well as online on Amazon for Rs. 1700 for 200 grams. Quantity is good enough to last for a month even when slathered all over body twice everyday.

At first look itself, the cream looks dense like whipped cream, perfect for dry skin. Feels cool to touch and applying it gives a luxurious feel too. The fragrance of Nargis is sweet yet subtle and lingers for quite some time. It does smoothen skin, makes it soft and banishes dryness for good 6-7 hours even during winters. For extra dry skin, reapplying after 5 hours is a good idea. It feels greasy in beginning but is absorbed within 10 minutes and basically does everything it claims. 

My hands especially had huge rough patches, extremely dry and rough elbows but within a week, all those problems are resolved and I have softest baby-like skin even in elbows area.

Price is high but since the product is so full of great natural ingredients and feels natural on applying too, I do not mind paying so much for a great product. Another winner from Forest Essentials brand :)

Punjab Depot Food Review | North Indian Vegetarian Punjabi Feast | Home/Office Delivery Review

It is official. Food from Punjab Depot is enough to make any foodie's heart go balle balle :D

Last week, they were gracious enough to sent over 2 meal boxes for review to my office and now my office colleagues are planning to order in half of their menu the next time we are craving khaalis punjabi food, so that is testament enough for how good their food is :) 

We tried Palak Paneer-Naan combo and Rajma Masala-Jeera Rice combo. Both combos also had pickle, papad and onions alongside. 4 of us shared these 2 boxes and were stuffed to the brim. 

PALAK PANEER was legen-wait-for-it-dary level delicious, with softest paneer pieces and creamy palak curry, definitely reordering it soon. NAAN was good enough to be eaten on its own and with palak paneer, simply heavenly ♥ 

RAJMA MASALA as expected was very spicy and chatakdaar, made the way we get it in Delhi, a bit tangy and very buttery. JEERA RICE could have been better, my sister thought it had too much jeera and too much oil, it tasted good with rajma though and we finished the combo within minutes but still this could be worked upon :) ( I was too busy devouring naan and tasted just a spoonful of jeera rice, it was nice but naan was yuuuuuuuuummmmmmm) 

Packaging is secure and oh-so-colorful, ekdum punjabi style. Delivery was done promptly, food piping hot and fragrant, quantity is more than enough to satiate even a hulk like me (one meal box can be shared between 2 light eaters) thus making food very value for money here and taste is on the dot pure punjabi. So time to do balle balle with Punjab Depot.
