La Encomienda, Madrid review


 I have a fondness for homemade and handmade items. While traveling, I often look for something similar. While searching for a restaurant in Madrid, I came across La Encomienda, which I had already heard rave reviews about. Homey rustic La Encomienda, at first glance, and a gleeful greeting, melted my heart away. A cozy and beautiful interior, combined with a colossal selection of hearty food and most attentive service, makes it a must-visit place in Madrid. [Madrid Hotels]


Serving a range of unique vegan dishes, including Asian and Latin American cuisine with a creative culinary touch, their menu is truly distinctive.


After a great day of sightseeing, we needed a plate of food that was not just filling but also nutritious, and here came a basket of seeded assorted bread.  Straight from the oven, the bread basket was rustic and delicious.  Then TARTAR OF ANDEAN TOFU, Tofu crumbled with leek, quinoa, and zucchini seasoned with Tabasco and coriander oil. What a unique and delicious combination of crumbly tofu paired with a delicate and coriander-infused sauce.


And hubby had HAMBURGUESA TEX-MEX, a Hamburger in paprika bread with purple onion, tomato, and oak leaf, accompanied by Tex-Mex sauce and green mojo. A hearty yet satisfying treat for your taste buds, hard on the outside and soft inside, makes it scrumptious and has the same taste as a burger without the guilt of eating thousands of calories of a hamburger, plus the benefit of eating all the super veggies.


As an eastern Indian, my love for rice is never ending, and here we had MAFE OF VEGETABLES WITH SMOKED TOFU AND RED RICE, a Stew of vegetables and smoked tofu with tomato and peanut base served with red rice. I loved the consistency of the gravy; it was as whippy as Indian butter masala curry yet infused with some great flavor.


  The portion size was too generous, and you can share if you're not single, like me. Then we headed for the sweet treat. Here came the surprise: Creamy peach, cashew, and coconut ice cream with sesame tiles. I thoroughly enjoyed the velvety and luxurious ice cream, with its crunchiness and nutty flavor of sesame. Good food is what you carry month after month and year after year after you had consumed it, and your taste buds refuse to forget. It was something like that and will stay with me for years to come, the memory of the evening with good food and the most gracious service.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Jurun...an assamese beautiful pre-wedding ceremony

  Indian weddings encompass many beautiful ceremonies and traditions. In Assamese culture, Jurun is a pre-wedding ceremony. It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings.  On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but ...
