Meet Abhishek, my dear husband and an avid foodie and traveller by heart. He loves to binge Highway on my Plate (Rocky and Mayur's travel show) and pretend to be on the show while exploring a new restaurant. Here's him sharing his thoughts about the places he visits and everything that comes in between.

Street food is a beloved and integral part of Thai culture. In Thailand, street food vendors are on almost every corner, selling a variety of dishes that reflect the country’s diverse culinary influences. One of the most popular types of street food in Thailand is the humble food cart-style snacks found on almost every street and alleyway. The food is often cooked to order, and the vendors are known for their lightning-fast speed and precision.

Right in the heart of Madison Park, Seattle, next to the sprawling Washington Arboretum, is a hidden gem, Arosa Cafe. The cafe was founded in the early 90s by a European gentleman who named it after the scenic alpine village of Arosa in Switzerland. However, for the past eight years, Arosa Cafe has been owned and run by Cesar and Adriana Santangelo, a super foodie couple who moved from Venezuela to Seattle in 2003. They are genuinely passionate about creating connections, good food, and community, and it comes through very vividly at the cafe.

Gambling has been historically looked down upon as a negative activity because it can be addictive. But when done in moderation, it can serve as a fun way to reduce stress, keep your brain stimulated, and an occasional escape from your mundane routine.

So many choices we make daily are no better than well-thought-out gambles.

I have been meaning to get into vinyl records for some time now and finally took the plunge. Meenakshi gifted me an Audio Technica Turntable last month and just like that, it was time to embark on a quest for a record collection. There is something so freeing about placing your favourite record on the turntable, dropping the pin and listening to the warm tones that come out of this completely analogue way of playing music.
