GingerFresh grasp the Lesson of Sustainability by Reducing Wastage Drastically!

In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing restaurant industry, it’s essential for restaurants to operate efficiently and with minimal wastage. This not only helps to save money but also helps to reduce the restaurant’s impact on the environment.

GingerFresh is a celebration of Indo-Chinese cuisine that has been a game-changer in the restaurant industry in Canada.

The company adheres to the motto of “operating slim with minimal wastage” and they do just that. The company was founded on the belief that you can reduce waste, increase efficiency, and still make a profit.

Here’s how We manage to adhere to reduce waste

Plan for the Day

At GingerFresh, each day starts with a well-thought-out plan. The restaurant’s management team closely studies the previous day’s sales and customer trends to determine what ingredients to order for the day. By doing this, the restaurant is able to minimize the amount of food that goes to waste and ensures that there is always enough food to meet the customers’ needs.

We analyse daily orders that we receive from the app and keep the raw ingredients ready only to serve that many people. Weekends are planned according to the average rush of every weekend.

Observe Customer Trends

GingerFresh takes the time to observe its customers’ trends and preferences. The restaurant’s staff is trained to pay attention to what dishes are selling well and what dishes are not. By doing this, the restaurant is able to make informed decisions about what ingredients to order, reducing the amount of food that goes to waste.

The restaurant also tries to be sustainable, with products that are locally sourced, seasonal, free from pesticides and herbicides, and ethically produced.

GingerFresh is committed to providing these products to their customers, and as a result, have been operating with minimal wastage.

Study the Numbers

GingerFresh conducts regular analyses of its sales data to identify any trends or patterns. The restaurant’s management team uses this information to make informed decisions about inventory management and ingredient ordering. By studying the numbers, the restaurant is able to operate more efficiently, reducing waste and saving money.

The first step is to track food cost. This includes the cost of ingredients, labour, and other overhead costs associated with running the business. Once you know your food cost, you can start to make changes to reduce wastage and improve margins.

Once you’ve got a handle on food cost, we track labour costs including wages and other associated costs such as superannuation and workers’ compensation. As with food cost, the goal here is to reduce wastage and improve margins.

We ensure that our staff is properly trained and efficient in their roles. Another way is to use technology to automate simple tasks such as taking orders or payments.

Know Your Customers

At GingerFresh, the staff takes the time to get to know its customers and understand their preferences. By doing this, the restaurant is able to tailor its menu to meet its customers’ needs, ensuring that the dishes that are popular are always in stock. This not only helps to reduce waste but also helps to create a loyal customer base.

The restaurant owners remember that their customer base can change over time. As the business grows and evolves, it needs to understand the target market based on the changing trends in the industry. Introducing fresh and new food items that help the business thrive.

GingerFresh has been operating slim with minimal wastage by closely observing its customers’ trends, studying its sales data, and getting to know its customers. By doing this, the restaurant has not only saved money but has also reduced its impact on the environment.

Hiking in the Foothills of the Himalayas

Hiking is by far one of our most favorite activities to do while traveling, especially when exploring beautiful exotic lands. As part of our Hiking around the World series, guest contributor Shaly Pereira from traveltoes85, is here to share with us her experience hiking in the Himalayas.

Trekking in Uttarakhand, India

Ever imagined a place where you can view snow clad mountains the minute you open your eyes at sunrise? Well, I found the perfect place, high up in the Kumaon hills in Uttarakhand, India.

This place – Jilling Terraces – owned me. Apart from its sheer beauty and spectacular views, it also offered that peace and tranquility that is the trademark of lesser known places around the world – those not yet stamped upon by hordes of tourists. Add to this the excitement of this being my first solo trekking trip in India and I was well and truly hooked.

The Train Experience

I flew from Oman (my base) into New Delhi, stayed overnight with a friend and took the early morning Shatabdi Express train to Nainital in Uttarakhand. Let me confess. This was also the first time I was traveling solo by train within India, so I had my fair share of fears. Stepping into the first class compartment though, I felt pretty foolish. The interiors were spotlessly clean and had plush, pushback seats (much better than the low-cost flight carriers). My fellow travelers were businessmen, yuppie backpackers, honeymoon couples and tourists visiting India. That long six hours journey flew by seemingly in a couple of hours, as I was served snacks and lunch (all included in the ticket price.)

The Drive to Matial Village Base Camp

The train chugged into Khatgodam Railway Station at noon and a cab driver from Jilling Terraces met me as I walked out. From here it was a one-hour 15-minute drive to Matial Village Base Camp. About 45 minutes into the drive, we stopped at the Bhimtal Lake, the largest lake in Nainital.

Beautiful views surround Bhimtal Lake. The rest of the drive was all uphill on winding roads with hard mountain terrain on one side and a sheer valley drop on the other. My driver was obviously an expert but that didn’t stop me from having some heart-stopping moments when we approached blind spots or braked to let a couple of teetering trucks drive past. The challenge, however, began only when we came to a stop at the base camp, where my first hike began.

Hiking is not only good for your health – views like this are good for the soul.

Hiking in the Himalayas: Boomer friendly?

The porter/guide who met me gave me a quizzical once over as if to say – “Hey boomer lady, are you sure you’re up to this?” He, I discovered was as nimble as a goat – even with the weight of my backpack on his shoulders, he was off climbing the path that led steadily upwards. I followed and about ten minutes into the hike, I was treated to beautiful views of terraced fields, storybook houses, high mountains and emerald valleys. At first, my stops were simply to shoot pictures, but soon they became more of a respite to catch my breath.

Some of the trails are not for the faint of heart! Thirty minutes later, I faced those typical challenges that all hikers learn to expect. Under my feet was a rock-cut narrow path that screamed for attention. One wrong move and I would go slipping backward. I hugged my Nikon protectively against me and labored upwards, my breathing tortuous and loud in my ears. At a corner I came across my guide sitting on a ledge, waiting for me. He offered me fresh lime juice which I gulped down in a flash. Then I fished out an apple and energy bar from my backpack and after a few minutes rest we were off again; or rather he was off and I trudged behind, munching my apple and thinking alarming thoughts. John Muir came to mind – “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” I sure hoped, at the top, along with nature’s bounties, I would also get a comfortable bed that I could just collapse on. About forty minutes into the trek, I realized the forest had thickened around us. No more expansive views now, just rows and rows of thick foliage and vegetation. My guide pointed out varieties of trees and flowers – the blood-red Buransh, yellow wildflowers, Kafal trees, white plum blossoms – in a months time this forest would have a profusion of colors, he explained. The beauty and the silence were therapeutic and as I began to breathe in the pure oxygen I felt a sense of rejuvenation and hope. I didn’t know what I was hoping for, but it sure felt good to be alive. Towards the last leg of my climb, I was joined by two adorable canines from a nearby village who begged to share my energy bar and trekked alongside for a short distance. Finally, after walking for what seemed like an endless eternity, my guide announced we would be reaching in about five minutes.

Jilling Terraces

My first view of Jilling Terraces was partially eclipsed by a magnificent view of the mountains. Directly opposite the property and rising to a height of over 7,000 feet, is the Nanda Devi (bliss giving goddess) Himalayan mountain range. In the glow of the evening sun, the snow-capped peaks seemed to be undulating in a mesmerizing wave – or was I just feeling giddy with relief that I had finally reached the top? Gratefully, I drank the cool water that was offered to me by my gracious hosts and turned my attention to Jilling Terraces.

The views are truly magnificent! The Chestnut House, according to the hotel website, is 80 years old and was built by a Sanskrit scholar for his Polish doctor wife who was pining for the cool climate of her home country. The present decor of the Colonial style bungalow is an intriguing blend of contemporary and rustic design – pretty easy to get lost in the ambiance of bonfires and bookshelves as I discovered in the next couple of days.

This was a welcomed sight for sore eyes after a day of hiking! The rooms are all designed with local fruit and flower themes. I was staying in the Buransh suite, so everything in my room was fashioned after the red Buransh flower, from the deep red lounger to the red motifs on the headboard and the wall art. The vase of fresh Buransh flowers on the coffee table lent that final personal touch.

After a long day of hiking, a comfortable bed is essential!

Just look at that deep red color!

A Culinary Experience like no other

The cuisine of the Kumaon (Mountain) people distinctly reflects their Indo-Aryan, Indo-Iranian ancestry and during my stay at Jilling Terraces, I got to experience some authentic cuisine by native Kumaoni cooks. Everything that comes to the table is sourced from local farmers – simple yet delicious. In typical Asian fashion, there is a deep bond between the heart and the stomach. Crispy Okras tossed in pepper and onions, Red and yellow Lentils immersed in seasonings, Mint flavored aromatic chutneys, Cottage Cheese, and Eggplant delicacies, Chestnut Parathas, Spiced potatoes – all aimed to delight vegetarian taste buds. The meat lover in me found inspiration in Chilli Chicken and succulent pieces of mutton stewed in a copper pot with fragrant spices. The Italian Pizzas and Pasta should have clashed with the Chinese Momos and Manchurian, but surprisingly they didn’t. I washed it all down with the juice of the Buransh flower, which incidentally is a cure for heart ailments. Certain Kumaoni sweet dishes are native to Uttarakhand – Singori (sweetmeat in a leaf), Bal Mithai (Caramalised fudge made from cottage cheese) or the evergreen flaky melt-in-the-mouth Son Papdi. Though I didn’t get to taste it at Jilling Terraces, this mountain region is also famous for its Bhaang (Cannabis) Chutney made out of ground hemp seeds – yes, you read it right.

 Hiking in the Himalayas

At the end of every hike (and there were quite a few) I wanted to plant my own little flag of accomplishment – except I couldn’t muster up the energy to do so. I had heard of Leopard sightings too but was told they were not common. According to my guide, Bedh Prakash, the last leopard was spotted in November 2017, near the villages. He also made light of the threat a leopard would pose, adding that a human was much more dangerous. True mountain logic that. Still, I didn’t want to put it to the test, not when Bedh was only armed with a thin walking stick and a flask of ginger tea. The hiking trails took me through natural paths, dense forest areas, makeshift temples, some steep climbs and sinuous river streams. Kanarkha Hiking Trail: Distance – 8 km, Difficulty – Medium, Hiking time – 6 hrs This trail is at an incline of 70 degrees all the way to the mountain ridge where you are treated to panoramic valley views, terraced fields, and vegetable gardens. The city of Nainital is also visible in the distance. This is also the place to head to if you want to view a spectacular sunset. The Nanda Devi Himalayan Range is always visible – icily stoic and unmoving – as if mocking the transience of lesser beings. To get to the Kanarkha Village, take the downhill path from the ridge and walk for another hour until you reach the simple yet idyllic village. You can meet the people of this village and experience their content lifestyle.

A beautiful mountain top villa in Bhimtal, Uttarakand. Panyali Trail: Distance – 6.5 km, Difficulty – Medium, Hiking time – 5 hrs A comfortable hike with less inclination than the Kanarkha trail, this trail leads you through the thick forest to the picturesque Panayali Village. This is village hospitality at its best. Surrounded by pine and deodar trees you can continue walking uphill and have a picnic at the top ridge of the mountain. A 360-degree view of the valleys around is an added treat.

The most perfect spot to rest and enjoy the scenery! Gaula River Trail: Distance – 6.5 km, Difficulty – Hard, Hiking time – 8 hrs This is a strenuous hike and only experienced hikers are encouraged to walk this path. Once you get to the Panayali Village, continue downhill until you get to the gently flowing Gaula River. Chirping birds, Perennial streams, cascading waterfalls and clear natural pools are in plenty, however, the rocks that lead to these water bodies are slippery and caution is advised. Once you get to the pools, you can take a dip (not during monsoons). This is where you feel thankful for the packed lunch and refreshments carried by the guides.

It was a nice treat to see the trees in full bloom!

The Return of the Lone Traveler

When I finally bid goodbye to my mountain retreat, it was with a sense of deep self-actualization. I had found the colors of my spirit in those deep forests, walking alone through crooked paths, where everything seemed straight, through misty weather, where it was all crystal clear, in the dead of silence, where I heard everything and on paths strewn with dead leaves, where I felt completely alive. My return trek down to the Matial Village was done in an easy 45 minutes. Again a drive and the 6-hour train journey back to Delhi. I was briefly disoriented as I stepped into the bedlam of Delhi traffic at 9.30 pm – honking cars, screeching tires, dodging auto-rickshaws and the jostling impatience of people all headed somewhere. My peaceful time up in the mountains seemed like a dream. Inescapably, I was now reconnected to life. Photography by Shaly Pereira Read the full article

7 Day Itinerary for an Ideal Ladakh Trip Leh, the main town in the district of Ladakh, in Jammu and Kashmir, India is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in India. Set in a high altitude, the access remains restricted throughout the year, with roads being blocked for as long as six months. The roads usually open up in the month of May till Sept – October, and June – August have become the peak season especially after the popularization of the region in the movie three idiots, Jab Tak Hai Jaan. With the Leh – Ladakh season around the corner, I created a sample 7 – day Leh – Ladakh Itinerary which covers almost all the major attractions and can be used as a reference for anyone planning a trip to Leh – Ladakh.

Day 1

Start your journey to Leh – Ladakh by landing at Leh Airport during the morning hours. Without spending too much time, head out to your hotel, make yourself comfortable and stay put for the day in your room. This acclimatization is critical for your body and for you to enjoy the rest of your trip. You may be tempted to step out and explore the city, but all you have to do is control your excitement for the day and relax in the room.

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast head out to Sanchi Stupa to enjoy a panoramic view of Leh. Your next destination should be Tsemo Fort, which is practically visible from all over Leh. [caption id="attachment_1163" align="aligncenter" width="787"] Source[/caption] Built in the 16th century is Tsemo (Victory) Fort, is just a 15-minute climb opposite Chenrezi Lakhang with its ruins. This structure is visible from everywhere in Leh. This fort seems like a crown on the head of the Palace ridge.  This small but ruined palace contains a number of worship flags. Directly underneath it is Tsemo gompa that is Tsemo monastery that consists of two temple buildings built in the 15th century, an eight-meter tall gold-faced statue of Maitreya Buddha. [caption id="attachment_1164" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Enjoy a good serving of typical Ladakhi food at one of the popular restaurants in the market, before heading out to Leh Palace, which is a replica of Lhasa’s Potala Palace. A nine storey structure in dun color, the Leh Palace rises against the backdrop of the lofty Himalayas, looking more like a painter’s muse. Built mostly of mud, rocks, and wood, it is grand in its simplicity. The palace also houses a rich collection of traditional dresses and crowns, thangka paintings and some impressive traditional ornaments. The best part about Leh Palace is its terrace for you can pore over Leh, Stok Kangri and the Zanskar range from it. [caption id="attachment_1165" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Spend the later part of the day at the Hall of Fame, which is a museum constructed and maintained by the Indian Army in the memories of the soldiers who lost their lives during the Indo – Pak wars. One of the most interesting sections is the one dedicated to a soldier’s life in Siachen Glacier. [caption id="attachment_1166" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Do some city shopping if time permits and your body doesn’t give in to the tiredness/fatigue.

Day 3

One of the major highlights of any trip to Leh – Ladakh is crossing the Khardung La Pass, the highest motorable pass built by the brave men of 201 Engineer Regiment, Indian Army. The road was opened to vehicular traffic on 27 August 1973. At an altitude of 18,380 feet, Khardung La Pass is the gateway to Shyok and Nubra Valleys. [caption id="attachment_1167" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Source[/caption] Khardung La is 39 km by road from Leh. The first 24 km, as far as the South Pullu check point, are paved. From there to the North Pullu checkpoint about 15 km beyond the pass the roadway is primarily loose rock, dirt, and occasional rivulets of snowmelt. From North Pullu into the Nubra Valley, the road is very well maintained (except in a few places where washouts or falling rock occur). While at Khardung La, don’t forget to have a cup of hot tea and a plate of hot Maggi at the Highest Cafeteria in the World. It is recommended that the maximum stopping time at the top should not be more than 30 minutes, so once you are done with clicking pictures and having some food, head out to the souvenir shop. The shop also maintained by the Indian Army sells all kinds of souvenirs like coffee mugs, beer mugs, decorative plates, tee shirts, and caps, etc. I have all of them with me. [caption id="attachment_1168" align="aligncenter" width="778"] Source[/caption] Cross Khardung La Pass and make your way towards Nubra Valley, Diskit Monastery, and Panamik. Panamik is famous for its hot water springs, and it’s also the last place up to which civilians are allowed on the road towards Siachen. Everyone has seen a camel at some point of time, but you should be privileged if you get to see a double humped camel. Head out to the Hunder sand dunes and catch a sight of the Double Humped Camels, which are an endangered species and the only place in India to see them is here at Hunder Sand dunes. This will remain a highlight of your trip to Leh – Ladakh. Stay for the night at Hunder/Nubra valley.

Day 4

Start your return trip to Leh – Ladakh after a hearty breakfast, cross Khardung La top, enter Leh and head out to Thiksey Monastery, after having a good Tibetan lunch. The USP of this monastery is the 15 m high statue of Maitreya or Tara Devi. Covering almost two storeys, this is the largest such statue in Ladakh. [caption id="attachment_1169" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Just a couple minutes away from Thiksey Monastery is a quaint little spot named as Indus Viewpoint or Sindhu Darshan. Go there to enjoy the calm atmosphere and feel the fresh breeze kiss your face. A charming place like that demands some time where you only feel the breeze and hear the sound of water gushing by. [caption id="attachment_1170" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Get some rest after the tiring yet fruitful day, only to wake up to a fresh new adventure the next day.

Day 5

After having an early breakfast, head out of Leh – Ladakh, towards Chang La Pass. When you are at the top of the third highest pass, make sure to click some pictures and have a hot cup of tea and some Maggi. Trust me, the tea and Maggi might not have tasted that heavenly ever before. [caption id="attachment_1171" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Cross Chang La Pass and head out towards Pangong Tso Lake which is 140 Km from Leh. Situated at the height of 4350 m and almost 130 Km long, Pangong Tso is one-third in India and the remaining in Tibet. The first glimpse of the tranquil, azure blue waters and shaky lakeshore remains etched in the memory of tourists. On a bright sunny day, one can see as many as five different shades of blue along the length of the lake as you drive on the side of it. [caption id="attachment_1172" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1173" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] Stay for the night either at one of the camps or one of the homestay options in the nearby villages of Spangmik and TangTse.

Day 6

Start early and take your return trip to Leh – Ladakh, and on your way back, stop by at the Hemis Monastery. Hemis Monastery or Hemis Gompa is one of the richest monasteries as it was protected by foreign invasions because of its remote location and hard to access route. [caption id="attachment_1174" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Source[/caption] On your way back from Hemis, get your adrenaline rush at an all-time high by trying out White Water Rafting on the mighty Indus or Zanskar.

Day 7

Head out to Pathar Sahib Gurudwara and attend the lungar prepared by the Sikh soldiers of the Indian Army. Do try to help them in whatever way you can and then head to the point where you can witness the confluence of Indus and Zanskar. One can easily differentiate between both of the rivers, as one is muddy and the other one is a bit of the bluish-green tinge. While you are in the area, don’t forget to get amused by the weird happenings at Magnetic Hill where, your car goes uphill on its own, when put into neutral gear.  

Day 8

With loads of memories amidst mesmerizing landscapes, it’s time to say goodbye to Leh and fly back to your respective places, bringing your trip to Leh – Ladakh, to a great end.  

Recommendations

Leh is full of tourists all over the globe, so make sure to try out different cuisines like Ladakhi, Israeli, Tibetan, and Russian, etc.

Souvenirs from Khardung La and Pangong Tso Lake.

The savory history of Indo-Chinese Cuisine

Who doesn’t like to savor the taste of Indo-Chinese cuisine?

We know how they come in unusual names like vegetable Manchurian, Hakka noodles, chili paneer, and American chop suey. Characteristically, these dishes are fiery, spicy, greasy, and zesty with an unquantifiable X factor that makes them so incredibly satisfying. One mouthful is a burst of so many flavors and that satisfaction cannot be explained in words.

So, what precisely is Indo-Chinese cuisine? The combination of Chinese ingredients like soy sauce and vinegar with garlic, ginger, and chili peppers used in large quantities, not as seasonings, but as primary ingredients, to create dishes with distinctively amplified flavor profiles is what is known as Chinese food that has been adapted to Indian tastes.

The history of Indo-Chinese cuisines.

India was the traditional “greener pasture,” where everyone flocked beginning in the 18th century, and it was a significant British possession in Asia. This includes the vast majority of Cantonese and Hakka Chinese immigrants from the south of China who sailed to Kolkata, the capital of India’s West Bengal state, before relocating to other cities like Mumbai. Cantonese and Hakka cuisines started to show up on menus throughout the city, at roadside stalls and restaurants, as they settled in and established a community in Kolkata and became a major part of Mumbai-style street food.

The majority of those who immigrated at the time were quite destitute and had to abandon their family. There weren’t many women there at the time, so they started a side business serving simple food alongside their husbands. The city of Kolkata now has India’s only Chinatown, which has evolved into the unofficial hub of authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine and these grew to include thousands of eateries. Numerous diners, from upscale eateries to local neighborhood hangouts and street foods, offer what is now recognized as innately Indian Chinese cuisine: spiciness, sauciness, and the famed chicken or vegetable Manchurian, always batter-fried and slathered in chili garlic sauce, all of which have little in common with the type of food eaten in China.

What made Indians fall in love with Indo-Chinese food?

It’s remarkable to observe how subtly Indian Chinese cuisine has assimilated into the indigenous way of life. Due to the widespread use of chow mein, Chinese noodles are commonly referred to as “chow” here, and many cafés offer at least four different cuisines, usually Chinese, Indian, Italian, and Thai. Alongside the saunf and saffron in the grocery store are packets of Manchow soup and spice blends for hakka noodles.

According to culinary writers, the rising popularity of Indianized Chinese cuisine was due to the wonderful flavorings and attraction to the nation’s gravy-loving palate. The utilization of a “holy trinity” of ingredients, tomatoes, soy sauce, and chili, that gave Indian consumers a taste of something they weren’t frequently able to obtain in local cuisine, was the key to its success. Cuisines with a dearth of umami flavors are Indian food. That was the one flavor that Indian cuisine lacked, and Chinese cuisine was created to fill that void.
