Nisha and Nishanth's Culinary Debacles

I bought the Mehzban Aloo Paratha the other day. It tastes ok and does not give one the actual taste of aloo paratha. I prefer the ones i make. Further these parathas are made out of maida and not whole wheat flour.

Of late, with exams quizzes and projects keeping me busy, we are trying out more frozen food. We picked up Amma's masala dosa and Onion Uttapham from the Indian store. The masala dosa is manageable. There are 3 small dosas in one packet and it turns out to be enough for a meal if you are a hearty eater. Although, in no way comparable to fresh dosa but manageable once in a while. Nishanth found the Onion Uttapham ok. The nice part is the dosa's come with chutney

I was always very curious to try out the chicken at the super markets that was supposed to be made fresh and i did at last. I tried out Roast Chicken at Tom Thumb the other day and it was awesome. It lasted me three days with me having chicken for breakfast lunch and dinner, i made a chicken mayonaise sandwich with the same a couple of times. The chicken was fresh, juicy and very tender. Its definitely worth having once in a while! I am now eager to try out the 8 piece chicken that they offer out there.

We stopped here for lunch on our way back from Wichita National Wildlife Refuge. The food was absolutely delicious and i just loved the Mediterenean lemon chicken. I havent been able to find an I-Hop to match the food in the DFW area. Hopefully i will some day! The cons was there was just one person to serve so it took a long long time. The decor and ambience was very nice. They are located at: 580-223-0700 near 2520 Veterans Blvd, Ardmore, OK 73401

We stopped over at this I-hop for lunch the other day. I had mediterenan lemon chicken which i had tasted at another ihop and it didnt live up to my expectations. Maybe i just got spoilt. We also tried a mix platter that had cheese fries, onion rings. The down side is it very crowded. The service was pretty decent. They are located at: 1010 S. Central Expressway RICHARDSON, TX 75080-7303 972-231 8622

They have 1/2 lb and 3/4 lb plates wherein you can select your meat. I tried chicken and pulled chicken. Although, the meat was cooked really well the sauce was too sweet for my liking. The sides - coleslaw and fries were good and the quantity pretty decent. Worth a try for those who like the american style barbecue!

972-248-8789 7529 Campbell Road at Coit Road Dallas, Texas 75248 The other day we tried out Burger House at Coit Roit Road and really liked it. We had been to the one near SMU and this has a totally different look. I loved my grilled chicken sandwich, vanilla shake and fries. Worth a try!
