What is your favourite cheat food?
My ultimate go-to comfort and cheat food has to be Rasam and Beef. There’s something truly special about the savory, tangy flavors of Rasam paired with the rich and succulent taste of Beef that just hits the spot every time.
What would your last meal on Earth be?
If I were to choose my final meal on this earth, without a doubt, it would be Rasam and Beef. There’s a profound sentimental attachment to this combination that goes beyond just taste.
Do you cook at home? What do you make?
While I relish the adventure of cooking various global cuisines, from Asian delicacies to Mediterranean feasts, continental cooking remains an exception. It’s not so much about disliking the cuisine itself; rather, it’s a recognition of the intricate details and complexities involved in achieving the authentic essence of continental dishes.
Veg or Non Veg?
My culinary preferences lean entirely towards the world of non-vegetarian delights. The array of flavors, textures, and aromas that meat offers tantalizes my taste buds and forms an integral part of my gastronomic journey.
Baked or fried?
My affinity for fried food transcends mere preference; it’s a deep-rooted love affair with the delectable, crispy delights that epitomize comfort and indulgence.
Soup or salad?
My inclination towards exotic green salads isn’t merely a dietary preference; it’s a conscious choice driven by a desire for healthful eating and a profound appreciation for the culinary artistry that these vibrant salads offer.
One vegetable that you hate the most?
Bitter gourd, to me, represents the pinnacle of an acquired taste—one that, despite my endeavors, I’ve yet to acquire. It stands as the embodiment of an intense bitterness that challenges my palate in ways I find difficult to reconcile. Its distinct flavor profile, characterized by an overpowering bitterness, fails to align with my taste preferences.

My culinary adventure in Thailand unveiled an intriguing dish that appeared tantalizingly appetizing, evoking an immediate anticipation of exquisite flavors and aromas. The visual presentation was a masterpiece, adorned with vibrant colors and an enticing display that stirred my curiosity and heightened my expectations.
Your erotica food?

Midnight snack?
Cerelac holds a special place in my heart, not only for its convenience but for its nutritional value. It’s a guilt-free indulgence, free from fat and rich in essential nutrients that contribute to its appeal as a late-night snack.
