It’s been ages that I last visited Hyatt Regency at Delhi. When I heard that Alessandro Sandrolini has re-joined La Piazza at Hyatt Regency Delhi as Sous Chef, and there is a wine paired special promotion that is currently on, I just could not resist. Alessandro is a renowned Italian chef and has…
Having just come back from Europe, my companion and I were looking to lunch at some place serving food other than Italian/European. Global Foyer on Golf Course Road boasted two far-east Asian cuisine restaurants-one Korean and the other Japanese. The Korean one that we entered first, (at random)…
