Food is one common ground for friendship. It connects
people together and let them share their love and passion for food. On 31st
May 2015, something similar happened.
Askme.com; an app that has answers to all our queries;
organized a foodie’s meet in Ahmedabad. The meet was in association with the
largest, happiest, and the most thriving food group of Ahmedabad, ‘Foodaholics
in Ahmedabad’ at Java+, Courtyard by Marriott.
Many food lovers, bloggers, and enthusiast were invited to
be part of this awesome meet such as Pavana Bhat & Neha Malwade who owns ‘Fifty
Shades of Food’, Sneha Padnani, proprietor of ‘The Midnight Baker’, ‘The Taste
Test’, and many foodies like Pratik, Shruti, Saloni, Bhumi, and Shivangi; to
name a few.
What we
did there?
An informal meet of foodies was gathered to educate us
more about Askme app and it various uses. Especially, there upcoming food
group. As their tagline says, ‘Baap of All apps’, it was a truly insightful
app, which can serve us answers of any categories.
Introduction: The
meet began with a small introduction of all foodies - what they do, and which
food they relate to. It was a quirky and fun introduction because the answers
were awesome. Everyone sportingly took this and it was filled with lot of
laughter and light moments.
PPT: It
was followed by a PowerPoint presentation on Askme.com app. how to use it and
their new additions in the app. They discussed any upcoming contest, which can
be found on their website.
Chef’s
Special: Next in line were two dishes, which Java+
chef’s showed us. The first dish was a seafood dish, which had many components
brought together beautifully on a dish. Next was a lovely cheesecake accompanied
with lot of chocolates, mangoes and more chocolates!
Cook-off:
This one I missed because of chit chatting but the voices vouched for the fun,
participants were having. It started with plate decoration, sushi, and beverage
making. Totally fun – filled, I loved the enthusiasm showed by Java+ &
Courtyard managers and supporters.
Lots
of Food: A foodies meet without food, how can it be
so? We had lovely spread of dishes. Starting from welcome drink like Chocolate Frappuccino,
Watermelon refresher, and Thai Iced Tea.
Then, I relished in some exotic chocolate yummies like
Chocolate cookie, Death By chocolate, and Mushroom short bread. All these three
dishes were just yummlicious. Death By chocolate was literally sweet death. Some
dark and heavy chocolate topped with nuts – what more you want in life?
The chocolate cookie/muffin was also a chocolaty endeavor.
The thick crust filled with liquid chocolate – a total sinful thing!
The mushroom short bread was also a wonderful. The light
and crispy bread filled with pesto sauce, mushroom, and capsicum – beautiful
combination.
On that note, we signed off by vowing to meet again soon. It
was a Sunday afternoon, well spent. Hats off to Foodaholics in Ahmedabad
admins, Askme.com managers, and Java+ managers for making it a memorable day
and meet!
