Our first Vlog on Goa: Unlimited Addition




Dear Readers, we are glad to announce that we have published our very first video on our Youtube Channel. It is a Vlog on our Goa trip we took in April 2017 to celebrate our first wedding Anniversary. Check it out guys, the details are listed below:



Hotel: Park Inn resort by Radisson.
This huge resort is located very near to Candolim beach. The resort has close to 300 rooms and looks like a small township of their own. The hotel has a 24*7 food service for the rooms and an amazing restaurant, the chef serves some really lip smacking Pasta in red sauce. The pool bar kept us high on energy all the time. You can also make an appointment with the hotel spa, we got a couple package booked for a 60 minutes Aroma massage.

For the room booking, you can pre book your room according to the view you want. The best view would probably be a pool facing one. Fortunately, we got one of the most wanted rooms on the ground floor.

One con of this hotel was that there were no lifts. The hotel had rooms till the 4th floor, but no lifts.



Day to day Itinerary:
Day 1: Because our train was 3 hours late, we reached our hotel around 11:30 am. We were instantly greeted by a bright red colored welcome drink and some scented warm towels. We had to wait for around 40 minutes to get to our rooms as the housekeeping was still going on. Just as we got to our room, we quickly got ready and started walking till the main road to rent a bike. The charges were 300 bucks for one day. We took the bike for 2 days and went to Phat Fish near Baga Beach to have our lunch. This restaurant serves amazing sea food, although the vegetarian food was just about average.
After having our lunch, we headed to Baga beach and I got my hair beading done (25 bucks per bead). We took 2 lounge chairs on the beach (100 per chair) and relaxed. The sun was settling down and the gleaming crystal clear waters made it look like a scene just out of a fantasy. Around 7 pm, we came back to our hotel and took a one hour rest.
We ordered some snacks in our room and at around 10:30 pm, headed to the club LPK (Love, Passion , Karma). It was a Weekday and so the charges per couple were 1500 bucks with unlimited drinks in the disc. The property is huge and the construction is beautiful, we could only wonder how full it must be in the weekends. The DJ played well known English and Hindi songs, but the unlimited drinks were not that good in taste. We ordered a Hukka with single flavor of green apple. It was nice but a little expensive.



Day 2:  It was a Wednesday and the only whole day left with us in Goa, so we decided to hit Candolim beach after our breakfast in the hotel. After Candolim, we relaxed in our hotel pool and had our lunch there. At around 3 pm in the afternoon we started for Anjuna flea market which is very famous. The specialty of this market is that it is only on Wednesdays. You can find a lot of things for your home, some antiques, fashion jewelry, clothes and what not. We saw the sunset at Anjuna beach and went to Fisherman's cove for dinner near Candolim beach.
The best crispy potato snacks ever, plus the hukka and the pasta. This restaurant definitely makes to one of the best places to have food in Goa. The waiters are very polite and the service is also quick.

Day 3: Our last day of the trip. We grabbed some breakfast and went to take a couple aroma spa in the hotel itself which was quite relaxing and calming as we had to leave by 12 noon.

Here is the link to the video we have posted on our youtube channel. Check it out guys, let me know how did you like it.

My colourful bowl of healthy salad..

Yes, everybody is trying their best to loose weight.. or to remain fit always.. and so am I..

After alot of researching on what kinds of combinations of veggies would go together I finally made one lip smacking salad..

Usually when Salad comes in mind, everyone thinks of fresh cut veggies, but here I have made a hot crispy salad..

Ingredients:

Red cabbage: Half roughly chopped                                
Capsicum: Green and red roughly chopped
Corn kernels: Handful
Zucchini: Half cut
Broccoli: Slightly blanched
Salt and Pepper: According to taste
Olive Oil: 1 tbsp
Red Chilli sauce: 2 tbsp
Vinegar: 1/2 tbsp
Soya sauce: 1/2 tbsp

Procedure:

Take a pan or a kadhai, heat olive oil in it and just as the oil is about to burn, add all the vegetables in it. 
Keep the flame on high and after 2-3 minutes add all the sauces and salt and freshly ground black pepper into it. 
Mix again for 3-4 minutes on high and serve hot. 

 




Note: Usually we have a perspective in mind that we will feel full only when we eat something hot.This salad not only makes you full but also like a full meal because of its nutrition value.
