Friend's Bday Celebrations

avatar

Yesterday was one of my friend's birthday, it was her 50th and she wanted to make it special. She invited few of us ladies who we are close to each other for the celebrations. It was a lunch party and it was organized at the restaurant in the Radisson Blu hotel. The not so good part for me was to get back to work after the lunch. I would have loved to come home and take a short nap after all that we indulged in but that was not the privilege that I had. Anyways it was a wonderful afternoon spent with my friends.

The food was yummy but more then the taste what I enjoyed here was the presentation. For the visual presentation I would give 10/10 to them. The way each dish was served was unique. The dishes were simple, but the way they were served made it look like something extravagant.

The first dish that arrived was a stealer, it was nothing but stuffed potatoes in rolled papad. A Papad is like a flat bread which is made of dried lentils. The taste was good but the presentation was the best.

After taking a look at this first dish we all realized that everything here is going to be visually very fancy. The next was the Mezze platter with a mix of dips and salads and veg patties with some bread, again visually very attractive and taste also 10/10

She had set the menu in advance so everything was coming as a surprise and we were wondering what next.

Then came my favorite. Chicken tikka this was visually and taste wise both super. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

For the starters there was one more Mushroom dish which I missed taking the picture. I did not have that because I am not a fan of mushrooms and I did not want to stuff myself with something that I do not enjoy much and probably that was the reason why I missed taking the picture.

By this time I was almost full and barely had any appetite for anything more, but that was not it, there was one more dish. The Prawn Biryani.
Visually this was decent and taste wise excellent, even though I was stuffed I did have little of it.

On the day it was just one birthday, but then there were other 2 ladies whose birthdays have been a few days back so we had a cake cutting for all 3 of them.

By this time, I was also getting late for work and had to leave, so we quickly finished the cake cutting ceremony and then I rushed to work. I did take a bite of the cake, it was a delight. I was completely stuffed and wanted to skip work but then there was a meeting to attend so I could not. It was a half an hour drive, so the best I could do was take a short nap on the way and it did help me :-), by the time I reached work I was in a better shape...haha.

Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

Lol, it's always great to take a short nap after eating a rather heavy meal, I heard it speeds up the digestion. All the dishes look very tasty and vibrant :)

That's right, it does help in digestion, but one should not sleep immediately.

The food would probably stuck somewhere in between?
I've read that some Asian cultures drink hot tea after lunch or a heavy meal to speed up or ease digestion.

Oh ya, just a different way of presenting it. I guess sometimes we eat more with our eyes then with our mouth, so it's a good marketing technique :-)
