Enjoy life sip by sip at Cafe Tesu

It was one Sunday morning when I was sick of house arrest during my sick days and I  desperately wanted to go out.  .I asked my friend Sharmishtha to take me out and we finally decided to go to  this newly opened cafe “Cafe Tesu”, for a cup of coffee and desserts. 

I have crossed this blue and white coloured walled cafe since the day it was opened. The exterior walls in blue and white is very attractive. Situated inside the complex of Essex Farm, this place has ample parking space and  accessible with wheel chair .  So finally we landed at the cafe post lunch and as  I entered , I felt like I am in some countryside European cafe with a very neat decor . The ambiance is bright with some artistic light fittings, bright coloured sofas, cookie jars on walls and a pastel coloured Stag painted on one corner of the wall. The entire atmosphere was  with very positive vibe with soft jazz music played on.

After settling down, I ordered for Whiskey barrel Coffee and Sharmishtha had Iced Cascara which is iced tea , with Rasberry Melange and Guava Pyramid. Rasberry Melange was gluten free and though I don't eat chocolate much, I loved the flavor of chocolate and raspberry. Guava Pyramid was suggested by the man behind this beautiful cafe “ Sahil Mehta”. It was soft as cotton and melt in the mouth texture. I personally will prefer the pyramid as my first choice.  The sweetness was well balanced. I never had such amazing desserts anywhere in Delhi.

While conversing with Sahil , got to know about his training institutions. Hailing from Ecole hoteliere de santos dumount (96-2000), Lenotre (2008) and Ecole de cuisine d’Alain Ducasse (2017) , Paris , he has brought the concept from there and changed the entire scenario of baking and confectionaries in the capital.


Both of us were liking the place so much that we decided to stay for some more time . So we decided to try their savoury dishes and ordered one portion of each Shangai chicken dumplings and Lamb bourguigon burger. Dumplings were okayish and nothing to talk much on it . Burger was not like usual burger what we get in any other burger joints. There was no stiff patty and no lettuce with onion rings . The bun was so soft that we could cut it with a simple butter knife, and the meat was literally chunks of meat drunked with some kind of sweet wine and cooked with pure butter.  By the time I had finished my half burger, I was regretting the fact that I couldn’t come for a full meal . Apparently the secret of the taste is overnight soaking of minced meat with some wine and herbs.  Trust me if you ever go to Cafe Tesu, never share this burger with anyone. Paying 545/- for this big delectable burger is worth it.

Having a fantastic experience , I have planned to come here again for a complete meal and not  sharing it with anyone .

PS: This was a  paid visit .

Epigamia - A healthy substitute to traditional Snack.

The battle for healthy yogurts have reached fever pitch in the Indian consumer market and now Epigamia seems to be eying the coveted spot of being the market leader. Named after a fabled treaty between the ancient Greeks and Indians, Epigamia blends in a great harmony of greek youghurts with Indian fruits and their products are lip smackingly delicious.

Epigamia apart from sweet and fruity flavours, has also introduced the first savoury pack. I would like to make a dressing of my salad with their savoury  yogurt. Just mix the chopped fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumbers , shallots , fresh coriander and mint with nicely beaten Epigamia yogurt and enjoy it with a sprinkle of roasted sesame and pumpkin seeds on it . I liked their Jalapano yogurt with Barley puffs and it is quite filling with one power pack. 

Jalapano Yoghurt with Barley puffs

The sweet and fruity yogurt goes very well with roasted barley ,oats , chia seeds and even fresh fruits and honey. I  have tried their Blueberry , Alphanso Mango , Strawberry ,  Honey Banana Greek yogurt and Mulberry flavours. In sweet yogurt, I personally liked their banana and honey with fresh banana slices and more honey on top of it . They are ideal for desserts for health conscious people . The quality of the yogurt is more creamier and thick. You can also make smoothies and dips with it . It can also be used as spread on tarts and breads . To make it more interesting for children , one can freeze the yogurt with fine chopped fresh fruits into Popsicle

.

So next time your stomach rumbles or you simply crave a snack, consider ditching those greasy potato chips and indulge yourself in a nutritious probiotic full and protien rich snack without the worry of loosening your pants.
