Ease of life - during that time of the month

One of the cheapest tricks I found in advertising. XL or XXL, the whole development team focused on the length but not the duration of time the pads needed. Normal n heavy flow ladies can simply forget about these. I have gone through the times at different stages of life n can confidently say that college students, working women with even normal flow can simply turn their attention to some other brand, if anything is available. 

I always thought about the convenience of those days for big built ladies. When I saw these in the market, though I am not big built, I bought thinking of the comfort in the night. Yes. There is a difference in length between XL n XXL. Not much but ok. However, because of lack of thickness, it lost its significance. Didn't justify the advertisement. 

These must be selling in the market because of the brand name n the hype created with the marketing budget. Otherwise, this product is not for Indian market. Will last only for a short period of time, till the word spreads. 

Vietnamese Summer Rolls

It's not soup. It's not salad. But a healthy snack n can be a meal! 'Vietnamese Summer Roll'! 

Since I got introduced to it a decade ago, I might have eaten a few thousand in Vietnam and Singapore. At restaurants n  personally made at home.

Here in India I bought the rice paper n noodles in Amazon. Remember. You always have option to return if the product is not edible. I returned one. This is second company. Turned out to be good. I am happy.

For filling, I prepared n opted for different combinations.

Sliced carrots

Sauteed mushrooms

Boiled fresh rice noodles 

Chopped coriander

Dried basil

The best turned out to be carrot, noodle, n fresh coriander. Added sauteed mushroom came in second place. 

Dried Basil substitute to fresh proved to be a bad choice. 

The soy sauce I bought was extremely salty. I made four rolls. Ate one with soy sauce and the rest with Maggie sweet n chilli sauce. 

Though compromised on fresh Basil, soy sauce and peanut sauce, after 2 years made n ate rolls n felt somewhat happy. 

PS: In Hyd if you know of any place selling Veg Vietnamese Summer Rolls, pls let me know 😁🙏🏻

Burger King Hyderabad Environment friendly!

The new initiative of Burger King - serves shakes in take-away order in reusable plastic mugs!!! I always felt n believed that Burger King India is not good in offering healthy options. True anywhere in the world their burgers lack sufficient Veggies n pickles. Just bun patty cheese. 

Keeping that aside. Finally Burger King Hyderabad office took one initiative which many of us will appreciate. Reusable shake mug. 

Best online merchant! May 2021

Since last year I was searching for a good reliable online merchant. I love food. Anything vegetarian. I love variety. Any country. Any culture. Any taste. As long as it is vegetarian, I will try. Taste. Sometimes my passion materialises in my travels. Recently I found that I can get online too! Individuals, companies, NGOs, socities, etc there are many who are offering regional n local flavours. 

My recent find n fav is Treddy's! First I thought too many in menu. Kitchen items, tools, snacks, savouries, sweets, pickles. .   hmmm. A thought crossed my mind on quality. Are they another Amazon? Just a consolidator? No direct commitment on quality. A few refund policies to passify customer n escape litigation? Anyway, as a regular online consumer, I jumped in to try their shipments. 

Ordered an iron kadai. Kaimuruku and a few more. In the past few months, Treddy's never disappointed me. High quality. Worth every paisa. All snacks. Fresh. Tasty. Authentic. 

My recent order, delivered yesterday, Jackfruit chips confirmed n sealed my trust. 

The shipment arrived in high quality cardboard box. Very thoughtfully packed in two portions to retain freshness till opened to consume. Aluminium packed tight sealed. Bubble wrapped so that the chips will not get crushed or damaged during transport. So freshly made that I can smell n taste amazing coconut oil! 

Treddy's got my complete trust n loyalty. I am with them till they show signs of compromised quality.
