It’s time for Tales of Two Foodies #Special segment and for this one, we are writing (raving,actually) about this one dessert that we absolutely loved and devoured.
As foodies who have major sweet tooth, we try our best to score the best desserts all through town and this time we were really lucky and satisfied!
Where: The Black Rabbit, Indiranagar
What: Profiterole with Caramel and Custard
A Profiterole is basically a French sous pastry with a filling inside. The one we had here was so soft, fresh and melt in the mouth. It was topped with gooey chocolate fudge and butterscotch nuts.
The filling inside was a flood of flavours (it literally flooded out once we cut into it). There was sinful caramel sauce with fresh custard, both of which tasted just amazing together. Every bite was a piece of heaven with the soft bread of the Profiterole, a mix of chocolate, caramel and custard and the butterscotch bits being the cherry on top.
It was served with vanilla ice cream in an edible praline tart which added a really nice, additional flavour to this dessert. By the end of it, the plate was a pool of all things delicious!
For all those who believe in true indulgence and crave a sugar rush, this is a must try. Needless to say, this amazing, epic dessert will remain in our hearts (and our bellies, too, probably) for a very, very long time!
Picture Courtesy: Livemint.comWe have all heard about Puma, the sportswear brand and we all do love it, don’t we? So, quite obviously, when they enter the Hospitality industry and open a spanking lounge, one would want to go visit it! Well, Puma Social Club is located very conveniently on 100 feet road, Indiranagar and very easy to spot.
Ambiance:
It is multi-storied building with seating on different floors. If one wishes to watch some sports on TV and chill near the bar, then the first floor would be the place to be. We, however preferred the rooftop as the comfortable couches, open sky, great view and the breezy Bangalore weather tempted us way too much. The ambiance at Puma is very casual, very chilled out.. A place where you can drink, eat and have a great time with pals. It is pretty dimly lit in the evenings with some really good music that totally adds to its ambiance. A thumbs up for this!
Food and drinks:
Moving on to what they have to offer. Even though they are a lounge, their meni So we ordered drinks, soup, appetizers and some mains. Here is a summary of it:
Cosmopolitan- Your regular cosmo cocktail. Thankfully, it was not too bitter and on the good side, it wasn’t just juice, it definitely had ample amount of alcohol in it.
CosmopolitanChicken Skewers- They serve three types of skewers (chimichurri, satay and black pepper). Each of them had tender chicken, distinct flavours and well cooked. In accompaniment, they served three different types of dips to go with it. With so many varieties, it was a burst of flavours and thoroughly enjoyable!
Chicken SkewersStuffed potatoes- These are basically half-cut potatoes stuffed with cheese. We were pretty excited about this dish but it was a disappointment. The potatoes were not well cooked and there was hardly any cheese. The dish was dry and bland and can definitely be avoided.
Stuffed PotatoesChicken Parmesan- It comes with a truly delightful combination of soft chicken, creamy mashed potatoes and a flavourful red sauce. The three aspects of this dish complimented each other perfectly.
Chicken ParmesanPenne Pesto Pasta- The Pesto sauce had a really strong flavour, garnished with herbs. The disappointment was the pasta as it was hard and not well cooked. On pointing this out, they quickly rectified their mistake, though.
Penne Pesto PastaWe Recommend:
Sugar Daddy- Swanky name, swanky drink. This was without doubt, one of the tastiest cocktails we have ever had. It is a great mix of alcohol with sugar and fruit syrups. If you are a cocktail person, then it is must try!
Sugar DaddyFrench Onion Soup- This tasted like authentic Onion soup and not one of those fake ones. Not too strong, not too light, it had perfectly blended onions and topped off with cheese. It was just epic!
Overall:
If we had to point out a con, it would be their hospitality. They definitely do keep to themselves and are courteous but they are neither very prompt nor very friendly. Even though we had reserved seats on the top floor, they initially refused. This is one aspect they might need to work on. The prices are pretty decent, definitely not reasonable but not sky high either.
Overall, however, we had a great time at Puma Social with the amazing ambiance, great cocktails, good food and a pleasant Sunday evening!
