Noodle Theory - Simple and Effective!

The Noodle theory is a simple but effective model. It works on the ad-lib concept of making your own wok. They have plenty of options and a few of their sauces are killer. They also have couple of starters, bao buns, drinks and brownies to complement the stringy noodle intake.

It's virtually a 5 step process where you first get to choose the base product ie the rice or noodles. You have bountiful options here with some rare choices also such as vermicelli rice, udon, soba etc. Once you're clear with the base product, next up is choosing the protein where you have tofu, panneer and just veggies. Once you're sorted on that front, you need to pick your veggies. You can choose as much as 5 types ranging across basic as well as exotic kinds. After that it's about picking the sauce which you want to cook your noodles/rice with. This is the one that can confuse you as you have plethora of choices from mild ones to the really wild spicy one's. Interesting concoctions such as japanese red wine, mallaka etc are available. And then the finale is closing out with the garnish. You can choose any 2 products from a stack of 7.

We were a group and tried a number of rice and noodle options. I found most of the sauces to be really good and the noodles were well constructed with abundance of flavours. There were certain surprises such as the vermicelli rice noodles cooked with a teriyaki sauce which was terrific. The jasmine rice aroma took our breath away. And almost all the noodle fare pressed the right buttons.

On the starters, we tried all of them which were available and the winners happened to be tofu in pepper overdose and the crispy chilli potato. The former especially packed a punch and the raw spiciness with the chunky tofu garnished with Chinese spices satisfied my desideratum.

We also tried a couple of their Bao buns namely the veggie and chilli panneer version and both were quite nice. The brownies were quite average but this was more of a filler to our meal and it isn't fair to expect too much out of them. They also have a bunch of drinks named after interesting personalities. The lemon based ones with a tinge of ginger were especially refreshing and ideal for the tongue.

Overall, it was a resounding thumbs up. They've done their best within the limited arrangements. It seems to be buzzing with people thronging the outlets at regular intervals. It isn't a traditional fine dining kind of outlet but the quantity and taste makes you think otherwise as what they served ticked the boxes on almost every front.

If you like your noodles and sauces and want to consume a slurpy based meal filled with an aroma flavours and interesting ingredients, the Noodle Theory is sure to entice you.

Arokya - Infusing goodness!

Goodness of Aarokya Milk is a fine little parlour inside the Express Avenue mall. The place bristles with energy and more or less always filled to the brim. The forte of this place are the stuff they serve oozed with panneer and their deliciously creamy milk based drinks.

We were here to have a quick bite amidst some shopping and ordered for the following:
Panneer Samosa: These were neatly packed in a cute box with 4 small pieces of samosa. They contained a smashed panneer paste inset and went along jocularly well with the green chutney which comes along as dip.

Panneer Ginger&Garlic crunch: These were breaded rolls containing raw white pieces of panneer with a dash of ginger and garlic and again tasted delicious. This came with a mayonnaise dip which served as a good combination.

Rose Gulkhand: This was simply epic and there was a profound essence of rose in it and tasted marvellous. It was really milky and creamy and I immensely enjoyed slurping this one.

All of the above costed just a shade above 150 bucks which can be considered value for money especially considering the taste on offer. The ambiance is simple and the place being well lit brighens the surrounding. The decor consists of simple wooden stools and seems ideal for a quick bite.

This is a fab little joint for those in love with panneer and milk products. A highly recommended place for having a quick bite.
