TAJ CLUB HOUSE CHENNAI

Last week on our anniversary we went to Taj club house for buffet Lunch, as we had already seen Fisherman's cove and Connemara..I decided to check this one.
Here the ambiance is good like a five star and they have lots of variety too..
In the non alcoholic section they have two types of mocktails.I liked the strawberry flavoured.
For starters, it was usual chaat, 2-3 fried items, and assortment of breads.the last one was really good, chaat..I dont think any good hotel serves the real taste:(
Then they had all sort of pastas,pizzas and noodles, variety of rice and Indian breads, and yes salads.Rice was very good ..all varieties, dont know why they kept biryaani and daal on a separate counter and we came to know only when we were full, whereas both these items were very yummy..otherwise there was very little variety in vegetables and whatever was there wasnt good even.
Dosa was also there.
In desserts, they had gulabjamun, chamcham, and carrot halwa, and then there were tarts, cakes, mousse,ice cream etc etc.
I dont know why most of the good hotels look after western taste more than Indian palate, even on the table we had olive oil and vinegar, instead of chatneys.
and in then I missed any paan, saunf, supari..anything like that.
All in all I wouldnt say that food is good, its only for the ambiance if you want to pay, then fine.
All this for a price of 1100 plus taxes..per person.

NAMKEEN DALIA

This is a very healthy breakfast for me and I like it also, almost no oil is used and it has lots of vegetables. and not much cooking even. Ingredients:----- 1cup broken wheat 250 gm cabbage..julienned 1small capsicum..julienned 1 carrot grated 1 tsp. oil 1tsp. mustard seeds. 1/2 tsp. turmeric 1/2 tsp salt or as you like it 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts. Green chilli (optional) coriander leaves..finely chopped for garnishing. Dry roast the broken wheat, till it is golden. In a pan put oil, and when it is hot add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add all the vegetables. saute them for 5-8 minutes, till they get shiny or loose water. Keep them aside. Now cook the broken wheat with 2 cup water, turmeric and salt, slow the fire and cook till all the water is absorbed. Mix the vegetables in this. Now while serving spread some peanuts and then sprinkle lemon. TIPS:.....even you can roast the wheat in microwave also, you will have to stir it once or twice. Some people add tomatoe

THE PIANO

Last weekend we tried Savera hotel on RKSalai road.There they had buffet in their Piano restaurant. I just loved the food here, their most of the preparations are very good. We started with mango drink,thye had one strawberry and one punch too. we tried the first one, but it was too sweet. For the starters they had..paapdi chaat,samosa, kachori, gobhi manchuria, and pakoras, golguppas. In the  main course there was..two varieites of aloo.both yummy,and paneer bhujai, beans,3types of south Indian curries, curd rice, three varieties of pulao..all very tasty, and noodles with 6-7 varieties of salad including choley also..rice varieties were very good and so were the naans. for the desserts there were 5-6 baked varieties and few were really good, three types of icecreams with toppings, then, moong daal pyasam, almond gulabjamun and carrot mysore pak..these two were awesome, I really hogged them and then some fruits. All in all a very good buffet and price is also reasonable...730/
