Well, officially, now that I’m a food blogger I attended the event “Flavothon” at Cha Bar. I’d met some amazing people there along with Executive Chef Abhishek Basu from The Park.
Before I get into what happened at the event, I would like to speak more on Char Bar, which is an integral part of Oxford Bookstores in Hyderabad, New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bhubaneshwar. From Japanese to Arabic, from Moroccan to Russian, Cha Bar offers more than 150 varieties of tea. Grab a book at any of the Oxford Bookstore, pull a chair at Cha Bar and start reading. Oh! and order a Chai for yourself. Tea and Book Reading make a great combo. Isn’t it?
Coming back to the Flavothon, Chef Abhishek Basu shared tips with the bloggers on what to pair with what Tea – only if you want to order snacks – from the menu. For example, mint tea would go well with Chocolate boat, cookie would go well with Masala Chai. You can check out the pairing, shared by Cha Bar with Foodeez Junction, below so that when you visit there next time, you know what to order. Easy!
