Food Review

Simply Complicated

Simply complicated! You ask why? Well no, rather what ? That would be an appropriate question. Just before you think my life is too dull and that I'm caught up in some paradoxical situation I can't handle. Letme tell you, this is just my way to start off a food review, Simply Complicated, just merely what I felt after I happened to visit Le cafe at Chembur last month on a thursday evening. The time being around 7.30 I wasn't exactly what you call terribly hungry, I was only looking at pampering my tastebud. 

With a seemingly eight word long name, Le Café Wood Fired Oven Baked Stuffed Mushrooms at Le Cafe Chembur, painted an image of steaming mushrooms settled around veggies served in a platter like fashion. As opposed to my imagination, the dish was served in a regular white quarter plate circled around a bowl of finely grated cabbage, carrot and beetroot as the central focus. Known for it’s bakery based products, Le Café situated two minutes from Chembur station serves as a great option for train commuters and local residents to grab a light supper. In a pursuit to fulfill my evening desire for something light yet tasty, I happened to visit this place on a weekday around 7.30p:m. As I was looking at pampering my tastebud and nothing too heavy, I called for it, after a minute which is how long it took to me ask for it and the waiter to interpret. Soaked in oil and soya, large coriander leaves covered the mushroom pieces giving it an appearance of circular dried manchurian or minced meat balls. As the name suggests, fired against wood, the texture of mushrooms seemed just right as opposed to under or over cooked mushrooms making it too soft or hard for one to digest. As one chews onto the mushroom, the flavors hit your palate directly. The dark essence of soya sauce against the mushiness of the oil rubs a strong pungent liquidity in your tongue. The crisp Coriander reduces the intensity of the oily blast in your mouth.

                      

After having it, I questioned , myself is it different from the other mushroom basedDishes I've had in the past? Well yes! But is it as happeing as the decription looks?

The answer to it was definitely no. So I realized, it' s more about a simple dish put up Complicatedly.

How to reach there? 

As suggested earlier, it is located at a 2 minutes walking distance from chembur station.

For an non-resident train would be the best op

tion. Gor locals, it couldn't get any 

More convenient since the place stands at an almost equidistant from P.L lokhande marg and Diamond garden.
