Lunch at Foo, Thane

Foo, a renowned restaurant in Mumbai, is known for its exceptional Asian cuisine. We recently visited their new outlet at Viviana Mall, Thane, for lunch. Pre-booking through Zomato saved us from a long weekend wait. The ambiance was elegant and minimalist, setting the tone for a delightful meal. We enjoyed the Udon Clear Soup, Aburi Veg Maki, and Truffle Togarashi Black Rice Maki Sushi, all paired with Foo Brew Japanese Rice Beer. The highlight was their signature Foo Blue Butter Japanese Fried Rice with yellow curry. Though slightly pricey, the flavorful dishes and dessert made it worth the visit.

An Evening at Grand Place, Brussels

Our quest for a less touristy destination led us to Brussels, a city that surprised us with its charm and vibrant atmosphere. We sought a break from the bustling big cities of Paris and Amsterdam, and Brussels offered the perfect escape. Our four-day stay was filled with delightful discoveries, beginning with a memorable evening at the Grand Place. The Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning square surrounded by opulent Baroque guildhalls. As we wandered through the square, we were captivated by its intricate architecture and lively atmosphere. We explored nearby landmarks like the Manneken Pis, a quirky bronze statue, and the Beursplein, a major gathering place.
