Today saw me going to the Nature's Basket store (http://www.godrejagrovet.com/) near the Mahalaxmi Temple for a quick peek while Ma shopped at the Nallis next door.
And was I impressed! The range of products available is mind-boggling. From fresh snacks (like pies, cakes, sandwiches etc)to cold cuts to cheeses to fresh produce, the store is a treasure trove of epicurean delights.
Among the more elusive stuff, I spotted the Bonne Maman range of jams and preserves (Rs 285 a jar), small logs of chevre (goat's cheese) (Rs 325 a log), smoked cheese, baked hams, avocados, vanilla pods (in hermetically sealed test-tubes!) (Rs 185 for 3 pods), harissa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harissa) , truffle oil, and my favourite wasabi peas (sadly not as strong and pungent as the ones I had bought at Rakhangi Stores at Worli) (Rs 100 for 170 gm)
Awesome place to shop for exotic foods (no need to do any food shopping aborad any more!) - if you have the money, of course.

ReplyDeleteDo you know where Flora/Sadanand restaurants are? Its right in that lane - the lane opposite Podar Hospital at Worli. Incidentally, there's a Godrej Nature's basket right next to Rakhangi too! :)
