Malaika Arora

 

Q. What’s that one habit of waiters that annoy you?

Over enthusiastic service.

Depends, but usually Credit card.

 

Q. Do you think  salads are exaggerated?

Not at all

 

Q. Your favorite cuisine and dish? And the cuisine you just can’t stand?

World cuisine, I am a foodie and like to try out all sorts of food. I love my mother’s Egg curry and Rice and just can’t stand American food.

 

Q. Dessert section at eateries has become richer. Do you ever feel like starting with a dessert and then graduating to starters and main course?

I always feel like starting with a dessert. Usually while Mansi is busy looking at the menu, Kiara (my daughter) and I already decide what we would order for dessert.

Yes…In a film or a television show.

 

Q. Do you believe in crash diets?

No I don’t believe and neither do I recommend.

Sudhanshu Pandey and Sameer Soni.

 

Q. Your favorite dish as a child?

Mutton and Paranthas.

Shepherd’s pie at a small town near Edinburgh, Scotland. Loved it with Scottish Ale.

 

Q. What is your favorite drink? Please mention soft and hard both.

I like the 16 year old Lagavulin which is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky produced at Lagavulin on the island of Islay, United Kingdom. The whisky has a powerful, peat-smoke aroma, and is quite potent.

Soft drinks…hmmm I am ok with Diet coke.

 

Q. Do you have a sweet tooth? Which is your favorite dessert?

Yes, blueberry cheese cake either steamed or baked

 

Q. Which would be your favorite food destination?

Has to be France as the food is great and the portions are small so one can’t put on weight either.
