Margalla Hills, Islamabad | For Parikhit Dutta.

I can smell the winters stepping in,

forging towards me,

with its cold feet and frosty screams.

I can feel the Zephyr breathing magic,

stars dusting sparkles,

and the moon singing a lullaby to me.

I can hear the train carriages,

whistling in the fields far away,

as the train makes its way

through the breeze.

I can feel the winters coming in,

and into me,

making me fade away into the ecstasy.

Heya, beautiful souls, I hope you are ready for the winters as I really feel like the winters are ready to come 🙂 I am super excited for the frost and wish that it might come soon <3 Well, one of my favorite bloggers Parikhit Dutta  told me yesterday that he has this wish of visiting the hills of Islamabad. As I went out on a hangout today, I hit upon an idea to capture some nice, fresh pictures of the hills from the window and so I did. This is for you Parikhit! I love you. Ignore the reflection of the shop’s lights on the window, please. 😀 <3 Enjoy! 🙂

Chinese Eatery | Review.

image_558379173740132

 

Heya, hun buns! I hope you all are rocking the summers. Although I hate summers because here in Pakistan, summers are not FUN! Trust me, Summers are like hellfire where we humans are the popping bubbles of the fiery cauldron. But Snapchat is always ready to say Hi to the summers so I took this picture. 😀 Well, summers is the time when we have no other choice than to go for indoor cafes and restaurants rather than going for gardens and outdoors. So I visited this Chinese restaurant a week ago which is launched newly in one of the famous malls of Islamabad, known as Centaurus. Chinese Eatery is a restaurant that allows you to choose between both indoor and terrace ambiance, as per your mood and the weather. Terrace of Chinese eatery is an ecstatic place to dine in at night or in the cloudy weather as it offers a lovely view of Margalla Hills.

Good for these People:

People who have cravings for Chinese food can surely give this place a try as the food is amazing especially the chowmein. I loved the chowmein because it was better than most of the Chinese restaurants I have tried so far. Food is spicy so spice lovers would love this place. The food is a blend of spice and mild like we ordered beef chilly dry and cashew chicken with Chinese rice and observed that the curries were both really spicy but the rice was so mild that they balanced the spice perfectly. The ambiance is amazing especially at night so people with outdoor appeal can definitely visit this restaurant.

Good for these Events:

  1. Dinners
  2. Family gatherings
  3. Group meet-ups
  4. Friend’s parties
  5. Birthdays
  6. Special Occasions

Deals:

Chinese Eatery offers a wide range of amazing and economical deals for the single servings. Every deal carries two to three items in it including rice, curry, spring rolls, and chowmein as per your platter choice.

Budget:

Chinese Eatery is a budget-friendly restaurant and you can always visit it even if your wallet is not very fat 😀 A few days ago I went to Chinese Eatery with just 500 pkr in my wallet and entered this place assured that I will come out empty handed. But as soon as I looked at their menu card with my fingers crossed, I immediately ordered hot and sour soup which just cost me 99 pkr along with BBQ Wings which were of 190 pkr. I had a happy lunch, in fact, came out saving money for my fuel as well. 😀

Thank you Chinese Eatery! 

Improvements to be made:

The only improvement required is in the serving size. Usually, restaurants offer a huge single serving that is even too much for the two people. Even though the food is amazing, the serving size is not sufficient that needs to be worked on. The quantity of food on the serving plate should be a bit more than the appetite of a single person instead of being equivalent to it.

Ginyaki- Oriental Cafe Review.

Heya, my magical community! Hope you are having lovely days and magical nights. <3 It has been so long since I last blogged and that’s because of the start of my new semester. I really missed you guys and remembered you all in my prayers 🙂 <3

So, this review is on one of my top favorite cafes in Islamabad; Ginyaki. I went on a day out with my friends at Ginyaki and trust me since that day, I have been continuously visiting this very cafe. 

Location and Ambience:

Ginyaki is placed in a very posh area of Islamabad, F-7 Markaz. Bhittai Rd, F-7 Markaz, Islamabad Capital Territory. Ginyaki is a very peaceful cafe with a sophisticated environment and elite ambiance. It’s the perfect place to dine when you need something light and basic. The simple and delicate architecture of this cafe appeals to everyone. Chinese carvings and Sakura Murals take you into the valleys of China.

The bathroom was also quite neat and clean. I took some secret pictures as well 😀

619cea2f-9a50-4475-b4e2-0b057a850ab2

Suitable For the Following People:

As I am a person who always goes for class and privacy, this is the perfect place for me. People with garlicky taste buds, light-belly, and oriental cravings should definitely try this place. Food is composed of tangy, savory, spicy and sour genres plus, you can have all the three types of meat; beef, chicken, and seafood in one bowl. There is a system of appetizers (optional), main course and side course in this cafe. You are given with options of Economical, Deluxe and Chop-Suey Bowls so as to add your favorite mains of chicken, beef, and seafood along with egg-fried rice or chowmein as the side course. I always order soup, for the appetizers/entree.

Budget:

If you are low on budget, this is just the right place for you where you can have an extraordinary food at a very low price. Plus, the appetizers and soups are available at very affordable prices.

Food:

Food and appetizers are simply flawless but I didn’t like the dessert Nutella Banana Parfait that much maybe because it was more like a rich creamy mousse that I don’t like personally but you guys can definitely give it a try.
