Place: Cafe Dolce
Address: Dhanmondi, 9/A Satmasjid road, Gawsia twin peak, house 42/43, Dhaka.

The ambiance and the food (desserts and mostly their drinks) are topnotch. I have been a regular to this café ever since they opened and therefore, got to try almost half of their menu. The servers are well trained as well. Although their price is on a higher range, I have found the quality to be amazing. Quantity, on the other hand, might not be sufficient for many.

Name of the items and prices are mentioned below each picture.

Hello fellow trekkers!
We as a couple, just completed our Annapurna base camp trek . Our trekking period was from 13th to 20th September, 2023. There are few important points we would like to mention for any interested trekkers who are willing to go for ABC trek.
1) Our trekking route started from Jhinu (we skipped Ghandruk due to high leeches attack specially as it was still rainy season here).
2) It's better to buy your gears from Bangladesh as it's more expensive in Nepal.
3) We were lucky to find a person called Mr. Bikash (manager of hotel middle-path and spa. +977 981-5173213 this is his number, he is available in WhatsApp), who arranged an affordable transportation till Jhinu and also a porter for us (Navindh da, who was amazing).
4) It's better to buy snickers bars in bluk from Bangladesh as it gets quite expensive as you go up.
5) Purchase Aqua tab in advance from Pokhara as filtered water is very expensive in the trekking route.
6) Food gets more expensive as you go up so it's better to carry light snacks (as a couple our cost per day in each lodge was around 5k including WiFi, hot shower, food and accommodation).
7) Most of the lodges were clean but it's better to carry a sleeping bag as some might not.
8) To prevent AMS, drink at least 5 litres of water, take their garlic soup and breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
9) Carry an oximeter (it saved one of our lives).
10) If you get AMS attack, do not sleep or lie down. Instead, sit in a comfortable position and keep taking deep breaths and exhale from the mouth.
11) Don't rush to complete your journey. Enjoy the trek and support/motivate each other. It's an easy 6 days trek, but do take time if needed.
12) Keep your oxygen level in check, especially from Deurali to ABC, as you will gain altitude very rapidly.
13) If you face AMS attack, come down few meters, take rest and try to adjust your body to the high altitude and then go up.

Knock us if you need any kind of information. We would be happy to help. Safe travels.

Place: Bengal Tea Lounge
Address: Tajwar centre, road 19/A, house 34, Banani, Dhaka.

Another thoughtful and well decorated restaurant by the Bengal group. The ambiance was very pleasant. Although the food is on a pricey side compared to the quantity, the flavor makes it up for it.
Items:
1) Pepper Mushroom Chicken:
The rice was very light and flavourful. The mushroom chicken gravy was packed with the right amount of spices. The glossy gravy along with well cooked chicken was a good addition to the rice.
Price: 545tk ++
Rating: 7/10

2) Grilled chicken with beans salad:
This one was my favorite. The chicken was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The salad includes red beans, chickpeas, corn along with other ingredients. It was light, fulfilling, and delicious.
Price: 600tk ++
Rating: 8/10

3) Milk tea:
Simple milk tea made right. Served with two pieces of biscuits made of oats and nuts.

Rating: 8/10

This wasn't my favorite as I had better elsewhere.
Price: 220tk ++
Rating: 5/10

Place: InterContinental Dhaka

I recently stayed at Intercontinental hotel, Dhaka and had a pleasant experience.
I took their 'Relax and Recharge' package and got to stay for two nights including Buffet breakfast and Buffet dinner along with other facilities (their available packages has been mentioned in the pictures below). The stay was around 20,000tk which was a steal for the service and quality.
They have few categories of packages available till 6th May, 2023.
Their newly opened Spa was one of the best experience of our stay.
They have the best food selection (few pictures had been provided below) and their in-room amenities are too good. They provide Starbucks pods with coffee machine which was great for me being a coffee person. Their service was topnotch and booking was hassle free.
Their club members get 25% discount year round at their restaurants and spa as well.

***Please note, the experience shared is a personal opinion which might vary for each person.

Newly launched Galito's Bangladesh has opened their franchise at Gulshan-2. Those who are craving Nandos can definitely give them a try. But the question is, are they as good as Nandos?
Well, as taste is subjective and personal, it will vary for each person. Galito's herb based sauces do taste different from Nandos.
I ordered :
1 whole chicken that comes with 4 sides. I chose coleslaw×2, fries and rice.
1 Melon teaser
1 Tropical slushy
Total: 2855tk
The chicken pieces were perfectly cooked and the sides were good as well. The drinks were refreshing, specially melon teaser.
According to my taste bud, Nandos is better.

Place: Nazimgarh wilderness resort, Lalakhal, Sylhet.
Nazimgarh-Wilderness Resort

I recently visited one of the most underrated and a hidden gem of a resort situated near Lalakhal, Sylhet.
There are two Nazimgarh resort in Sylhet.
1) Nazimgarh garden resort at Khadim Nagar, Sylhet.
2) Nazimgarh Wilderness resort, Lalakhal, Sylhet.

We visited Nazimgarh Wilderness Resort. It is situated at walking distance from Lalakhal.

The place was breathtakingly beautiful. The overall ambience was very peaceful. You will get the true feeling of living amongst the woods in the middle of a forest.
Apart from superb view from the room (we took Delux Panaroma Room), the food was too good.
I would highly recommend to take Bengali cuisine rather than Italian /Chinese /Thai. The fishes they provide were fresh and well prepared. They do not preserve raw ingredients and menu mostly depends upon what they can find the following day at the market.
●Coming to the prices, they charge 15%VAT, 10% service charge and additional 20%service charge for in room dining. On average it would cost from 1200tk to 1800tk for a couple per meal. However, we found the tea to be overpriced. 102tk per cup of tea if served at the room.
Boat ride costs 1000tk per hour.
Cycling is free with stay.
●They have a small swimming pool with a plunge pool ( don't have heating system). Activities include, cycling, kayaking, boat ride at Lalakhal, indoor games etc.
●The resort is quite big. Make sure to roam around and explore. We loved their watchtower.
●Things to know before paying a visit:
1) Only Robi and Grameen phone has network there. There is no wifi in the rooms and the lobby has very poor wifi connection. Thus, it is better to use above mobile data. Keeping in mind that it is situated close to border, network connection is restricted.
2) It is very quiet and serene. You will get picturesque view. If you don't like being in the nature away from city life, this might not be for you.
3) Food selection is limited. We got the Grill fish on request which cost around 1700tk (we ordered a day before). It is better to carry snacks there.
4) Carry mosquito and insect repellent.
5) Service is slow. Therefore, it's better to place orders 1/2 hours prior.
6) They accept card and bkash but it's safer to carry few extra cash. There is a bkash shop right next to the resort. There are no ATM booths around.

We had a wonderful experience and got the thrill of living amongst nature. The room and washroom was well equipped. They have hot water service which is great. A must visit place if you are a seeker of hills and forest like me.

Place: Liverpool KEBAB & CURRY
Address : Dhanmondi 2, (opposite to North end)

After a long time I was satisfied trying out a grill and BBQ restaurant. The place was squeaky clean and the staff members were very friendly and helpful. The owner lived in London for 30+years and his passion for food let him open up this venture.
Being said that, let's come to the food.
Every item we tried was topnotch !

Item: Mixed Kebab
Price: 795+
This is an ideal platter for two. You can also get an idea about the different type of kebabs they serve to know which one you like the most.
This platter consists of:
(2×Tengri Kebab, 4×Chicken Tikka, 3×lamb Hariyali, 3xChicken Wings, 1x Shish Kebab)
***We substituted the lamb kebab with additional shish kebab
It was served with a special salad and a dipping sauce that indeed complimented the flavors of the kebabs.
This was also served with two regular nans and two garlic nans. These were so soft and buttery that you can't stop eating them!
The quantity was enough for the two of us.
Rating : 8.5 /10

Item: Tandoori Chicken
Price: 295+
Two pieces of Chicken that is perfectly grilled and spiced. It was extremely tender and succulent. This was also served with their house special salad.
Rating :8/10

It was a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I loved it so much that I ordered it twice!

Place: Tea&Tea
Location: Kolabagan

Found a gem of a place! This is a must visit place for all tea lovers. The owner is passionate about tea and understands flavour. It's a re-creation of our well known 'tong er cha'.

Items:
1) Afghani Pink Tea

It's more of a dessert than tea. It's creamy with a hint of pistachio and rose flavour that indeed is a treat. Really enjoyed this one.

2) Hyderabadi Masala Tea
Price: 40tk
This is a must try for milk tea enthusiasts. A subtle hint of cardamom along with other spices blends well with the tea.
Rating: 9/10

3) Alubokhara Tea
Price: 25tk
This is really unique. It's spicy, tangy and sweet to taste. A perfect balance that works as a palate cleanser.

A newly established restaurant in Cox's Bazar that has eco friendly decor and topnotch food. It is aesthetically pleasing and the food is so delicious that it is worth the drive.

Item: Seafood Soup
Quantity: 1:2
Price: 595tk
The broth was delicious! It had the zing to it that would refresh your palate. It was loaded with crabs, shrimps and squid. The fresh herbs includes ginger, cilantro, garlic and lemon grass. It was appetising as well as fulfilling. The quantity was good enough for two.
Rating: 9/10

Item: Seafood Platter
Quantity: Can be shared by 2 generously and by 3, enough.
Price: 1200tk
The platter consists of grilled BBQ squid, calamari, Shrimps, crabs and french fries. It was served with tomato ketchup and tangy-spicy green chilli sauce. The quantity was more than enough for two people. Although, I would have preferred less french fries and a bit more BBQ squid to balance the dish. All the seafood was cooked to perfection. The grilled squid and the shrimps were my favourite.
Rating: 8.5/10

Item: Mango Juice (forgot the exact name they mentioned on the menu)
Price: 160tk
It was yummy! You can taste the mango pulp that has been freshly made. It was perfectly balanced and served beautifully.
Rating: 8/10

Price: 140tk

Went to this iconic place after a long time to check if the taste is still the same.

Rating: 8/10

Item: Four Seasons Pizza
Price: 600tk (+/-)

Tried my mother's trick to smoke up beef liver!

Cook the beef liver like you usually do. Once it's done, serve it on a pot that has a lid. Take a small clay plate and put a clove along with a piece of heated up charcoal and place it at the centre and on top of the dish. Add a few drops of mustard oil on top of the charcoal and close the lid immediately. Open up the lid few seconds later to enjoy!
It gives the meat a nice smokey flavour that is too easy to do.
We often use this technique on chicken and beef. Try it on and do let me know if you liked it.

Place: Pastryarchy
https://www.facebook.com/pastryarchy101/
Flavour: Coconut Lime Cheesecake
Price: 2600tk (900g)

I always look for something unique when it comes to my mother's birthday cake. Went for a minimalistic modern design this time.
I was amazed by their creativity, workmanship and pastry techniques. So professional!
They have a variety of flavours to offer that aren't available so easily elsewhere.
I chose their Coconut Lime flavour and it was delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavour with added crunch of the crumb. The Coconut flavour was sublet and not at all overpowering. It was truly divine.
Rating: 10/10 (both in terms of taste and decoration)
It was also delivered on time and placing an order was hassle free. A big shout out to them.

This was my second purchase from them and it was consistent in taste. The quantity was generous for 3 people. We took extra rice for additional 100tk. The chicken crepe was my favourite.
They are excellent at communication and delivery. 10/10 on their customer service.

Edith is currently under renovation but they are welcoming guests. They have expanded and updated their menu. Truly enjoyed their spacious open terrace as the weather was spectacular. They have included other franchises under their roof as well. Thus, compiling a wide variety of options, starting from chicken fries, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, calories count healthy bowls to authentic Italian cuisines and wide range of desserts. All of these under one roof!

Brands serving under one roof are:
Edith, Ricky's, Low Carb Meals, Sam's Pizzeria and Taltibaaz

Item: Fettuccine Alfredo with blackened Chicken.
Price: 580+
They served in-house handmade pasta that gives the authentic taste. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and balanced. The tender chicken pieces were cooked to perfection. Garnished with almond, cilantro and cheese. If only it was a bit more in quantity, it would have been perfect.
Rating: 8/10

Item: Hades Meal
Price: 420+
Flavourful chicken pieces served on top of red bean puree along with water spinach and corns. It was a balanced and fulfilling meal. This could be your best choice if you are counting your calorie intake as they mention it per serving. The chicken was cooked perfectly with spices that went well with the sides.

Item: Blueberry Cheesecake Éclair
Price: 200+
This was delicious! The filling was generous and super yummy. It had the right balance of sweetness that elevated all the flavours. The shell was light and flaky that went well with the creamy filling.
