Blue Nile, Twilight, Tropical…. wondering what these are?? This is what the menu read at a small eatery joint by the lawns at Cosmopolitan Club in Chennai. I was already in a  terrible mood after a hard day’s work and to make things worse, I was famished. So when the waiter @ Fresh Bites read out such names I thought I was going to blow my top. Thankfully, he immediately took a hint from the look on my face and began with a pleasant voice - “Blue Nile is a mocktail which is a perfect blend of blue

Curacao(obviously pronounced it our Tamil accent) with a scoop of ice cream and filled till the brim with Sprite. Its a perfect fizz when your day has been blue. :)” He added saying “Fresh Bites serves very good mocktails that are perfect thirst quenchers. ” This brought a smile on my face as I knew where he was heading. That was the best way anyone had ever cheered me up in quite a while! As I sat there waiting for my drink, I read through the menu and I had decided what I wanted to eat. Cheese sandwich sounded appetizing. The menu listed out vegetable sandwiches, corn sandwiches and masala sandwiches too. My drink had by then arrived and I placed my order for the sandwich. The drink was amazing indeed.

Apart from the usual ‘bites’, the eatery also serves steamed corn in both cup and corn on the cob , and comes in four different flavors; butter, pepper,masala and barbecue. Milkshakes has never been one of my picks, but this place turns out to be an exception. Be it chocolate milkshake(I being a chocoholic) or even strawberry for that matter is lip smacking. It has a variety of ice creams. As ice creams have been everyone’s favourite desert, I wanted to finish my meal with something different. I ordered fudge brownie. That’s hot brownie with a scoop of ice cream (that spread evenly on the brownie as it melts) and generously topped with thick chocolate sauce. Its highly sinful, but trust me, it was worth the sinful indulgence! As my friend says, “Its good to indulge once in a while!”

This was a perfect way to end my otherwise terrible day. I left the place with complete satisfaction after spending my money on quality food.This place is a must try!!
