IoBM food review

The thing that I was most excited about in university, in my first semester, was food. I have pallet open to international food, since I grew up eating Italian, French, Mexican or Saudi cuisine, so my expectations from continental food were high, since I am aware of what most of the foods taste like. I don’t usually get time to eat at IoBM, since I have continuous classes, these are few food I tried this semester and thought to review them.

1.     Cardamom Tea

If I would want an ultimate life time supply of anything, it would be lipsticks and tea. Tea for me is what coffee is like to any foreign student, I consume three to four cups of tea, daily, to function properly. Although, I am choosy when it comes to the flavor of tea. I love that mild sweet, milky flavor, if the tea is too bitter or too strong it’s a big no for me. Since a levels, when I used to see teachers sipping tea, I used to wish there was tea or coffee available for students as well. The best part about IoBM is that, you can purchase tea.

I decided to give, cardamom tea a try, for me tea is like a warm hug after a long heavy day.

The tea had foamy texture, during the first few sips, then the taste was sweet and milky with touch of cardamom. The tea wasn’t bitter at all. This is something I would love to drink daily

2.     Burrito

The burrito I have eaten in my childhood consisted of beans, minced meat and other vegetables wrapped up in a tortilla. I had similar expectations, from this burrito. The box claimed this burrito consisted of chicken, egg, cheese, mayo and vegetables. The burrito was made of chapatti, you normally would use for boti roll. The most disappointing thing was that the mayonnaise was less in quantity, just like chicken and vegetables. The vegetable used were pieces of corn. Irony was, there was no egg in burrito as the box claimed. The burrito did taste good though. If someone is really hungry after class, they would rate it 9 out of 10.

3.     Pizza donut with fries

The name sounds really intriguing, and I expected something similar to bagel which is full of cheese and chicken. I am not a big fan of pizza, but anything with cheese is my favorite. The actual dish turned out to be a total disappointment and waste of money. The filling of the donut, wasn’t anything similar to the toppings used on a pizza. Cheese was nowhere to be found in the filling of this pizza donut. It consisted of chicken, capsicum and carrots. The filling was way too spicy and salty. The only thing good about this dish was fries, the fries were light, crisp and with perfect amount of salt.

4.     Chicken cheese paratha

This is something, I became found of, the first time I tried it. The paratha was crisp with delicious cheese and chicken filling. The consistency of the filling was perfect, as it was not too much nor it was too little. The chai complimented the paratha, perfectly.

Rating 9/10

5.     Chicken spread sandwich

I opted for something light, for the start of the day, which turned out to be a big disappointment. The chicken spread sandwich had scarce amount of chicken or mayonnaise, and it felt like I paid 50 rupees just for a piece of bread. I hate dry sandwiches, so, it’s something I will not like to eat again.
