Global fusion as the name suggests is not actually global cuisine, rather it takes you on a culinary tour of the orient. One swoop of the buffet spread, which would easily run a kilometer long if placed next to each other; will give you a plethora of treats to choose from.

Priced at Rs. 577 per head for lunch Mon-Thu, Rs 720 per head for dinner Mon- Thu and Rs 850 on week ends, it is a tad bit on the expensive side..

As you enter a grim looking waiter shows you how the buffet works, they have devised a system of using paper clips to order fresh food of your choice. It works like,you go , select a dish of your choice and drop a paper clip in the front of the dish on display, in a few minutes the dish will be served at your table. The choices include the usual starters, but as you taste them , you will realize that they are perfect examples of precision cooking. The tomato soup is a must have here.It has a hint of melon,makes it savory.

The decor is thrilling from the gaudy past. Its a 7,500 sq ft. area, done up with sheer indulgence. Above a double high ceiling, to the side, bubbling water bodies with lotus look alike flowers and not to mention little goldfish who according to a little girl we met there "will eat you up if you fall in the pond!" The buffet counters are well placed and brightly lit.

Unlike other buffets around the town, the buffet here never changes.You can eat your fill and come back for more when you feel like.. They offer an unlimited round of iced tea, fresh lime soda and colas and for those who are game for drinks can order their rounds..

For the foodies, the spread here will spoil one for choice, predominantly fish, there are great options for the veggies too. The desserts supplied by Baskin and Robin are light and delightful and unlimited after a satiating meal.

Must tires out here for the veggies:
1. The tomato soup
2. The Crispy corn
3. The egg plant dish
4. The paneer dish
5. The ginger cap rice
6. The dumplings
7. The fried wakame and the shitake mushrooms

For the non-veggies:
1. Dig into the sushi bar, which has a lot of exotic fish and other things to offer.
2. The baked chicken
3. The black bean chicken goes nicely with the noodles
4. The Sashimi platter.

In all, though the prices are a tad bit expensive, it is value for money for an almost authentic platter. The ambiance makes you feel as though you were in a Chinese palace and with a helpful staff, the experience leaves you with a good taste..Must visit for all the adventure foodies!(Try the octopus!) ( Shashank reminds: Go when you are very hungry ;) )

For a Start

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth and the two of us are indulging in our parts whole-heartedly.. we are here to entertain,do catch a front seat and enjoy the show.
But before that a little introduction to the characters we play in this life..

We are two helplessly indulgent creatures, be it in terms of talking/eating/gossiping/shopping/drinking and blah..We just can’t stop..

High on youth we are addicted to life in general and make a whole lot about small things.
This blog is for anyone who feels like indulging just a little!
Hope it makes you feel like wine and cheese...
