sweta's food quest

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Cafe - Calcutta

It's always fun to explore a city, even if it is in the confines of a mall, when you have food on your mind. It was a surprisingly cool day in early August when I stepped into Forum, the Mall in Calcutta to grab a late light lunch for Zy and me. I went for the Veggie Lasagna and Zy, the Crusty Chicken Sandwich and we both dug into the Sticky Toffee Cheesecake with equal gusto at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Cafe. The food is tasty enough, more like grab-on-the-go fare but the best part about the place was this huge mug of coffee - dark, rich, aromatic, distinctive and Columbian, exactly what one needs after having spent an entire afternoon trying to meet the demands of a super energetic eight year old boy.

Of course, I forgot to photograph that one...

By the way, did i mention the slice of heaven?

“Am I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely.
Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha.”
