The future of food according to Massimo Bottura
Dhaka, June 20 (UNB) - Massimo Bottura has built his career by blending Italian culinary tradition with an avant-garde sense of design and experimentation. The chef's three-starred Michelin restaurant, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, has twice been named the world's best restaurant and routinely attracts culinary pilgrims from across the globe who book one of its 11 tables months in advance, reports BBC. But while Bottura's approach to edible art is rooted firmly in Italy's Slow Food heritage, his hands, body and mind are constantly in motion as he dreams of new ways to condense his many passions "into edible mouthfuls."
Fine dining with burgers
From a chicken fry sandwiched between buns to gourmet signature burgers served with hand cut chips, we have surely come a long way when it comes to burgers. A few years back, the trend of messy burger took the Bangladeshi public by storm. However, the trend is shifting towards non-messy, quality burgers.
Back with a bang
For those who have been to Holy Crab Bangladesh and were disappointed at their disappearance, have no fear because they reopened under the name ‘The Smokes Bangladesh’. I had been a fan of their chicken wings and shrimps and was really excited to try them again here. However, the ribs and brisket had outshone the prawns this time.

A sinful platter at iftar
With the flourishing of new restaurants and cafes, we at times tend not to visit our old haunts, those timeless places. One of those for my generation is Tastebud restaurant. This place has been well-known for its exceptional custom-made cakes and its variety of cheesecakes particularly the Nutella Cheesecake as well as their platters. I remember it was one of the first places to have its own Red Velvet Milkshake. I loved it ! In addition to this, their ambience and interior design is always a favorite.
This Chinese salt and pepper shrimp is a savory-spicy joy
There’s probably no recipe that better showcases salt and pepper working in multiple ways and together than Chinese salt and pepper shrimp, an enticing dish of plump, moist fried shrimp with shells as shatteringly crispy_and appealing to eat_as fried chicken skin, and a killer savory-spicy flavor profile.
Korean Restaurant in Mohammadpur
When foodies like me hear the area name Mohammadpur, they think about the famous places like Mostakim, Muslim, Selim, Bihari Camp and few others for Beef and Chicken Chaap, Luchi, Brain Fry, Tehari and Biriyani. Sad to say that over the past 10 – 15 years the quality of the food has deteriorated. Their exceptionality does not exist anymore in terms of quality but their names and the restaurants do. I never heard about any other cuisine restaurant in that area but to my surprise, during my recent visit to Mohammadpur, I came across this Korean restaurant named Cookers & Co.
The Mad Delicious Offer
Dhaka, May 13 (UNB) - Now that Ramadan has started, almost all the restaurants and cafes have good value for money offers for both iftaars and seheris. Even though it has not yet been a week since Ramadan started, I already had the chance to break my fast outside. Indecisive among all those attractive offers by the restaurants/cafes in the tristate, we decided to go for the safest option which was The Chef’s Table since it already has good food places under one roof. Since it was the three of us, we decided to have something light. After a 5 – 7 minutes’ tour of that place, we decided to go for MADCHEF X, a modified unique version of the popular Madchef restaurant.
Breaking the fast with Live Sushi, Shawarma, Jilapi and more
Dhaka, May 12 (UNB) - With Iftar and Sehri offers clogging almost all our social media accounts, it has become quite a difficult task for customers to pick a right place to break their fast at. Amrit & Summerfields on the 2nd floor of Hotel Sarina, Dhaka has come up with an array of dishes ranging from Japanese, Indian, European, and Arabian for their ‘Iftar cum Dinner Buffet’.
