November 18, 2017November 18, 2017Leave a comment

I found my new food love in Tres Leches/Three Milk Cake and I swear to God I've never had a better one than this beauty from Imperial Cakes. I've been trying this cake from all over the city (I've tried 5 different places so far) and this one definitely tops the list. These nice people … Continue reading Tres Leches Cake by Imperial Cakes

EID SPECIAL: Kabuli Pulao

September 25, 2015November 16, 20162 Comments

EID MUBARAK ERRRYYYYYYBBBBADDDYYYY! I love Eid and I love meat so this is probably my favorite holiday of the year (minus the stench!). Hope you are all dressed up and not sweating in the kitchen enjoying crazy fancy meaty lunches. Last year on bari Eid I decided to take over the kitchen and pamper family … Continue reading EID SPECIAL: Kabuli Pulao

Hi. I am Fauzia. Lets be friends.

Instagram

Got a goodbye pappi from one of my favoritest sister in law + people in the whole entire world, @shehzeen.r . Always the first guest to arrive who turns into a host immediately and makes me feel like I am on vacation in my own house. From ironing my clothes to taking care of Faizan when he was down with a migraine, she does it all. I would keep her with me for life if she wasn't so much into Nabeel Bhai. . On another note, had the craziest two weeks with all Faizans siblings visiting us for the annual family reunion. It is undoubtedly one of my most favorite time of the year. This year since I recently started a new job, my time with these guys felt very limited but SO SO good. . A lot hanging out and food was involved plus they tell me @faizanrahman s embarrassing childhood stories which I obviously find very very entertaining. Can't believe these guys are all already gone and now have so many months before we see them again but I already CANT WAIT. #RantsofaDesiBride #InstaBlogger #InstaBlog #PakistaniBloggers #Pakistan

Part II of Baku's post as promised. You can see the previous post for part 1 beautiful people. 7. Visa to Baku was a breeze. Its an e-visa so you apply online through their website: https://evisa.gov.az/en/ . You get a standard visa within 3 working days and urgent visa within 3 HOURS ONLY. Super speed, super convenient. 8. Baku has most international clothing brands, but I wouldn't exactly call the shopping their cheap. I think its just the constant increase in dollar rate thats screwing us over. I'd still say skip the shopping there unless you are buying local stuff. 9. Talking about local stuff, look out for beautiful rugs (I got the most gorgeous one for my room that I havent taken a picture of but i'll show you some day). Also they have some really awesome spices, I got big bags of sumac (Its this tangy delicious masala of sort that goes into many of their meals). Then of course you can get some nice souvenirs. 10. Many of you are asking about the cost: From what we experienced, you can easily do a 5 day trip within PKR 120,000/person. You can further reduce or increase the cost depending upon where you are staying and where you are dining. But I wouldnt call it too expensive. A lot also depends on the season, if you go during the nicer weather, I've heard its more costly. 11. There are a lot of tourist attractions near Baku like fire temple, gabala and many more. However since Faizan and I were too lazy and wanted to relax ONLY so we decided to skip everything and stay in Baku only. If you guys want to ask any specifics, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them in my story or here in comments. Hope this helps and if you go to Baku soon sometime, send me picturessssss. Okay byeeee. #RantsofaDesiBride #InstaBlogger #InstaBlog #PakistaniBloggers #Pakistan #Baku

So many of you asked for a post on Baku. I was going to do a blog post but then I decided to 2 insta posts instead, so here is part 1 jusss 4 u. Just a little background: Faizan and I wanted a very low activity trip since this was our first vacation in almost 2 years. We wanted a place that was not hot and with not too many things to do otherwise you're under the pressure of wanting to see/try/visit everything that is in a city/country. We went for 5 nights, the 6th day we had our flight around mid day. Baku is a beautiful city. Very windy, super cold but beautiful. I've heard its gorgeous during Spring too and also they host the F1 race, if you're interested in that kind of thing. Here are the things that anyone who wants to visit might find useful: 1. It is a muslim country, so its easy to find halal food everywhere. However, since they also serve meals that are not halal, its always better to ask, just to be safe. Like I was told that one of the McDonalds there was not halal, whaaatttt? :O 2. They have muslim showers so you can leave your lota at home hahaha. AND it has both hot and cold water so OMG. 3. If you're going during the winter months, keep a wind breaker. It is insanely windy. 4. Stay somewhere near nizami street because pretty much all the main attractions can be covered within 30 minutes on foot. Faizan and I walked pretty much EVERYWHERE. We were there for 5 days and took the bus and subway ONCE. 5. We stayed at Sahil hotel and hostel. Very basic but I absolutely LOVED it. It was clean, warm and incredibly cheap. Great value for money. Would recommend to everyone. We booked a private room but if you're going solo or with friends, they have an incredible hostel situation going on. 6. You can find decent halal food within 10 az per person if you're getting basic food like shawarma and gyro. Their food is much more flavorful than anything I had in Turkey. Part II tomorrow :* #RantsofaDesiBride #InstaBlog #InstaBlogger #Pakistan #PakistaniBloggers
