THE TROJAN PIZZA

Talkie – BBQ Chicken Pizza
Ticket Price – Rs.250/-
Theatre – Mumbai Bistro
Box office rating – 3.8 stars

Cast – Bread, Roast Chicken, Barbeque Sauce, Onion, Green Bell Peppers and Mozzarella Cheese.

Review – A film based on the notorious Mumbai gangster, Roasted Chicken. The smoke and terrorizing taste of the Roasted Chicken, engulfed every street he entered, with his Barbeque Sauce weapon always ready in hand. He ruled all of Mumbai, except a small portion ruled by another gang called Green Bell Peppers . They were known for their spicy and crisp weapons , which made it hard for many gang lords to invade. Roasted Chicken was determined to rule all of Mumbai and so he mastered a plan, inspired by the Trojan horse of Troy, he sent a gift to the Green Bell Peppers wrapped in long, gooey and mouth watering Mozzarella.
Without caution, the Green Bell Peppers unboxed it , and from within burst a number of equally spicy, crunchy and pungent Onion Warriors, chopping the Green Bell Pepper gang into small pieces and conquering all of Mumbai.
A lovely, hot and Tasty Pizza Film by Mumbai Bistro. Do not miss it.

ADVENTURES OF GORGONZOLA

Talkie – Gorgonzola stuffed chicken wings, louisiana dip.
Theatre – Kode
Box Office Rating – 4.5 stars

Review – I’ll start by sharing an interesting fact, which I learnt in the process of watching this film. Gorgonzola is one of the two types of Blue Cheeses found in the world. This film is about the yummy adventures of the crispiest ship in the world, called Chicken Wings, whose mighty chicken sails were known for their tender and juicy excavations.
The story begins with the Chicken wings setting sail for Northern Italy. In search for a new and rare form of Blue Cheese.
You see because the French were particularly strict about not sharing the yummiest blue Cheese they had invented with Sheep’s Milk. The sailors were determined to not come back empty handed.
After the sailors docked on the Northern shores of Italy, they were well aware, it was no easy task, to get the Italian Blue Cheese, because the salt content was too high. This made it nearly impossible for humans to touch this exotic Blue Cheese with their bare hands.
But the sailors had a brilliant plan. With the help of their crisp and tender chicken wings, they started wrapping the cows Milk Blue Cheese, the juiciness of the tender chicken pieces started absorbing all that salt and the crisp coat on the chicken helped it from burning the hands of the sailors.
The sailors went home happy with a new found Blue Cheese called Gorgonzola. As a tribute to the sailors, who were from Louisiana, the Gorgonzola Chicken Wings were best served with Louisiana Dips.
I would not miss this one for anything, take a loved one and devour on this scrumptious and tasty dish.

RICE RICE BABY – PART 2

Talkie – Veg. Schezwan Combo Rice
Theatre – Ravi Chinese Cuisine
Box Office Ratings – 3.5 Stars
Produced by – Mr. Ravi
Directed by – Chottu

Cast – Schezwan Rice and Noodles and Schezwan Sauce.

Review – This is a sequel to the previous movie, ‘Veg. Pot Rice’.
It is again about the protagonist trying to find the Spicy Ruby jewel, from the heart of the Fiery rice and noodle Schezwan mountains.
Situated right at the centre of schezwan mountains, covered with burning hot molten lava, it was nearly impossible to reach the Ruby jewel. Our protagonist tries everything, but does not reach the centre. Defeated, he heads back home. On the way he stumbles upon a mercury spoon. Looking at that, he gets an idea. He goes back to the mountains, uses the spoon as a surf board and starts surfing over the red lava mountains. As the heat of the lava increases the spoon expands,making it easy for the protagonist to reach his goal. Sorry for the spoilers, it is definitely a good sequel.
A very smart and a tasty movie and must watch for all the Chinese lovers.

SALMON CARPACCIO

Talkie – Salmon Carpaccio
Theatre – The Fatty Bao

Cast – Salmon Carpaccio, Soy, Yuzu, Chopped Scallions, Jalapeño , ginger and garlic juice.

Box office rating – 2.8 stars

Review – I would like to start with a disclaimer, that this is not a film that would suit any palate. The Salmon Carpaccio is a Raw Fish Film that requires some acquired taste.
Salmon Carpaccio’s performance was a bit too tough and rigid, considering his past performances have been celebrated for their moist and melt able texture, this one seems too tough. The female lead is played by Soy, she fits into the role perfectly, with just the right amount of punch and zing to spice up this slightly lost and deranged plot.
All the other supporting characters have also added their bit, but are a slight misfit in this exotic Fish Film plot.
We truly love the other films at the Fatty Bao , but the Salmon Carpaccio was a slight disappointment.
I would recommend going for something else on the menu.

SAUCE CROSSED LOVERS

Talkie – Pink Spaghetti
Ticket Price – Rs. 350
Theatre – August Cafe
Box Office Rating – 2.8 stars

Cast – Spaghetti, pink sauce, cheese and basil.
Review – Spaghetti and Thyme are star crossed lovers on the run from their families. A love story set in the cold and rocky ranges of the Himalayas, is delicious at first but tends to get too cheesy and saucy towards the end.
Spaghetti is a strong and thick boy and has a smooth way with his words. He falls in love with a rich, aromatic and green girl called Basil. The match is not accepted by their families and the two run off into the cold mountains of the Himalayas, but are always followed by their families. In order to completely disappear from their view, Spaghetti and thyme must convince the royal family of the hills The Pink Sauce Family. The pink sauce family was hard to please, not everyone could come and live in their land. The star crossed lovers managed to get a place to stay and live disguised as the pink sauce people but in return they had to promise to live under the white snow drizzle of cheese. It was painful but it let them stay disguised forever.
For people who like cheesy romance films and cold pastas, it is okay for one time tasting.

BLACK FOREST DE CONSTRUCTED

Talkie -Deconstruction of Black Forest
Theater – KODE
Box Office Ratings – 5 Stars

Review –
This is a story of a mythical, magical and ancient cakery monument called ‘The BlackForest’ which had special powers called the The Taste.
Many years ago, this monument was built by Joseph Keller 1981- 1987. In this monument he infused special energy and mystical powers to pull people towards ‘The Taste’.
It was huge, dark and creamy. It was covered by densely populated grated chocolate and inside were hidden gems called Maraschino cherry. The power was so strong that, anyone who visited the BlackForest Monument was drawn back to it .
With such strong powers, other emperors were tempted to research and find the secret behind The Taste.
They came and robbed all the essential ingredients they thought would help them in constructing the Black Forest monument and find the magical powers it contained but they all failed.
One fine day, the emperor Jiggs Karla’s son, owner of 6 successful restaurants and restaraunter of the year 2016, Zorawer Kalra along with his head chef came to see and experience the famous magical power ‘Taste’.
Zorawer is not a chef so instead of constructing the Black Forest , he simply deconstructed the elements of chocolate brownie, Grated Chocolate, cream and Cherry together emitted a strong power of taste. Hence, the story is about the ‘Deconstruction of The black forest’.

Share a meal with your Neighbor

Neighbors are our next door family. Family because their mother tongue becomes your second language and that happened with me. In my childhood, I had spent most of my time at my neighbour’s house, speaking Konkani, eating Dosas and playing 50 games in a small passage. They are the first ones to know, when you are doing good and the first ones to run and come for help when you are in need.
So this year, be kind to your neighbour, your second family as, you are their second family too.
