Text
Well, Swee Heng 1989 Classic called this Giant Chicken Cutlet Burger (S$2.80) but looking at it, this is just your average sized burger, nothing massive enough to name it giant. The chicken cutlet had a squeeze of tangy mayo-based sauce on it and that is it. But still a decent eat if you are hungry.

 Soy account for the largest market share in the plant-based meat market
 Based on the source, the soy segment dominates the market. Soy serves as an alternative to meat sources, such as pork, beef, and chicken due to its high protein content. The consumption of soy foods has recently risen in Western countries due to the adoption of vegetarian diets and being cholesterol-free as against animal-based proteins.
 The beef segment is projected to account for the largest market share in the plant-based meat market during the forecast period
 Based on type, the beef segment is projected to account for the largest market share in the plant-based meat market. Beef is usually considered a type of meat harvested from cattle and it is a nutrient-rich food, as it provides various essential nutrients. Plant-based beef provides similar characteristics to that of beef. Beef-related plant-based products, such as meat-free beef pieces, no-beef burgers, beef watercress, and beefsteak, are made from sources such as soy and wheat.

12 Best Fast-Casual Lunches in New York, From Top World Cuisines
(Bloomberg) — New Yorkers like to eat out. They spend 130% more money grabbing food outside the home (like amazing sandwiches) than do residents in the rest of the country, according to real estate firm CBRE. Big Apple residents fork over an average of $8,082, compared to $3,512 outside the city.
CBRE also reports that 35% of the city’s food and beverage leases have gone to fast-casual places since 2016.

Europe, too, is on a fast-casual fast track. The market is expected to grow to around $17 billion by 2024, according to Report Linker, at an annual growth rate of 6%, thanks to demand for quicker meals and high-tech innovation and an interest in foods around the world.
In New York, the fast-casual trend also serves the purpose of opening culinary doors to the world. For under $20 and just a few minutes of your time, diners can experience Chinese bing bread, Taiwanese oyster omelettes, or Georgian khinkali dumplings. Cuisine that was outside the mainstream in the city, such as Senegalese and Peruvian, is easier than ever to get your hands on.
Read: Best Foods and Restaurants to Try in Dubai
New Yorkers have been looking beyond the burger option for a long time. Xi’an Famous Foods, which put northwestern Chinese hand-pulled noodles on the map, started its expansion out of Flushing, Queens, in 2010; Taim, from chef Einat Admony, has offered superb falafels since 2005.
But there has never been a better time than now to eat a $15 lunch at your desk (or a not-too-fancy table or counter.)
Here are a dozen of the hottest places around Manhattan to feel as if you’ve taken a trip much farther away.
Miznon
Star chef Eyal Shani, who also has the riotous, and pricey, party restaurant Ha’Salon, dedicates much of Miznon’s menu to pillowy pita breads, which he stuffs with rib-eye steak slathered with tahini and spicy peppers, as well as a za’atar-spiced omelet with salty pickles and giant hunks of roasted cauliflower. Besides its Chelsea Market home base and Upper West Side outpost, Miznon has a spot at the upcoming food hall in the CitiCorp building at 601 Lexington Ave. ”My idea is to take high-end food and put it in a pita instead of a plate,” says Shani, whose sandwiches start at $8. “By the way, pita is the best bread, it’s like the most genius envelope for everything.” 435 W. 15th St. and other locations
Teranga
Senegalese culinary ambassador chef Pierre Tham has an ideal location for his café: the Africa Center on upper Fifth Avenue, across from Central Park. His menu introduces customers to such ingredients as fonio (a West African grain hailed as a superfood) and attieke (fermented cassava couscous) with accompaniments such as ndambe, a stew of sweet potatoes and blacked eyed peas. There’s also the option of more straight forward garlic- and lime-laced grilled chicken, and lattes in flavors like turmeric and moringa. 1280 Fifth Ave.
Read: Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019
Junzi Kitchen
This growing chain dedicated to northern Chinese cuisine, specifically noodle bowls and wraps made with the flatbread, bings. It was co-founded at Yale University by Yong Zhao and chef Lucas Sin, who met at Sin’s renegade supper clubs; the first Junzi opened near the campus in New Haven, Conn. Junzi now has multiple locations in Manhattan, with the latest in Bryant Park.
They are serious enough about their noodles to offer a choice between “knife” noodles—wide and wavy and excellent with options such as tomato and egg sauce pork—and the thinner, chewier “spring” noodles, which are great with spicy sesame oyster mushrooms and other vegetable dishes. “Remember when eating tacos and burritos felt like an adventure? That’s what we want to make happen with bing wraps,” says Sin. 135 W. 41st St. and other locations
Llamita
During the day, James Beard award-nominated chef Erik Ramirez specializes in counter service rotisserie chicken with a spicy aji verde green sauce and the Peruvian fried rice, arroz chaufa, at this West Village offshoot of Williamsburg hotspot Llama Inn. The small sandwich selection includes caramelized pork shoulder with slices of sweet potato and salsa criolla, a red onion relish on a sturdy roll for around $14. At night, Llamita becomes a full service restaurant offering braised chicken with aji panca and a $26 pork chop, instead of a sandwich. 80 Carmine St.
Chama Mama
Many fast-casual dishes are delivered in bowls. Food from the nation of Georgia in the Caucasus politely rejects that constraint. The airy storefront on Manhattan’s West 14th Street specializes in the cuisine’s notorious khachapuri bread pockets that have launched a million Instagram pictures, stuffed with cheese and presented to go in a small pizza box. Other regional options include khinkali, doughy, folded dumplings that can be stuffed with chopped beef and pork, or more cheese. Because this is a casual restaurant, not a grab-and-go spot, there’s also a strong selection of Georgian wine. 149 W. 14th St.
Read: Five Best Restaurants in Oman That Should be on Your Food Radar
Dalup Modern Indian
It’s only a matter of time before fast casual food that’s not made by a robot will be the exception. For now, an early entry in the city’s robotic restaurant game is Dalup, which has a machine for making dosas, the giant, thin, pancake-like wraps. It stars in the classic masala dosa filled with spiced potatoes and onion; there are also non-robot-made dishes such as bowls with a base of rice or the whole grain freekeh, and the option of a curry like chicken tikka masala or lamb madras. To amplify the mechanized POV, the place donates a portion of its profits to Girls Who Code. 350 7th Ave.
Field Trip 
No single specific cuisine is highlighted at the brand new Field Trip in Harlem. The brand-new place is all about rice ,which notable chef JJ Johnson (formerly of Henry, at the Life Hotel, and Cecil’s— and our own holiday entertaining guide) believes is a through-line on tables around the world. Bowls include crispy chicken with sticky barbeque sauce and Carolina gold rice, braised beef with spicy black beans and Texas brown rice, and shrimp with green curry sauce and sticky rice. Even the dessert nods to the mantra; it’s not rice pudding but rice milk hibiscus soft-serve. 109 Malcolm X Blvd.
Kati Shop
Coconut milk rules at this Thai spot in east midtown. The menu offers a short list of flavorful curries, including lemongrass chicken, coriander steak, and baked sesame tofu. Diners have the option of jasmine rice or shredded cabbage as a base, as well as curries that pack a punch, such as the Kati signature with lemongrass, galangal (a ginger-like herb), turmeric, and a serious amount of chili. There’s also penang, with dried chili and galangal, as well as cardamom and tamarind-infused massaman. 162 E. 55th St.
Zai Lai
Taiwanese food hasn’t made as much noise in New York as some other Asian cuisines, but now it’s breaking out, thanks to places like Zai Lai. Located in the Turnstyle Underground Market just off Central Park, this place from chef Edward Huang offers “Street Eats” such as fried scallion pancakes rolled around slow-braised beef chunks and “ex-girlfriend’s oyster omelet” (a cleverly named version of one of Taiwan’s most iconic dishes). Among the rice bowls are “lion’s head” pork meatballs with ginger and scallions and the option of a sous-vide cooked egg on top. Beverages are traditional, from taro milk tea to sarsaparilla, Taiwanese root beer. 1000 8th Ave.
Inday Go Go
Inday is a groovy, Indian-accented bowl food place that hypes Ayurvedic principles. The Go Go outpost in Midtown is an express spot with a superfood roti, or wrap, made from coconut and flax and chia seeds that can enclose fillings such as braised lamb with chopped greens, pickled vegetables, and sliced avocado. The signature bowls include a lot of buzzword ingredients like curry flower (cauliflower rice with turmeric lemongrass curry) with additional protein options; dishes start at $7.50. Inday’s “side hustle,” or sides, include such more conventional Indian offerings as spiced chickpeas; to drink, there’s hot masala chai spiced with cardamom and cinnamon. 570 Lexington Ave.
LaoMa Spicy
There’s a lot of different directions to pursue at this Sichuan spot in the Village, the first Manhattan outpost of the popular Flushing dry-pot chain. Behind a glass case are dozens of ingredients, from tofu skin and rice cakes to prawns and from fatty beef to kidneys and liver. Diners can select any assortment, as if this were a bizarre salad bar; products are gathered in a bowl—weighed ($12.99 per pound for meat and seafood, vegetables at $10.99 “per bucket”) and then stir-fried behind the scenes at the desired heat level. Among the composed dishes, the best seller is spicy diced chicken in a sea of chiles and Sichuan peppercorns.  58 E. 8th St.
Peach Mart
This closet-sized space (and one of the best options) in Hudson Yards is Momofuku’s vision of a Japanese 7-Eleven that specializes in kimbap, akin to a Korean sushi roll with such fillings as spicy fried chicken, the Japanese omelet tamago, and spicy bigeye tuna—enclosed in rice and a sheet of seaweed. The place also offers sandos, the milk bread sandwiches that might include a chicken katsu cutlet or potato salad with pickled jalapeños. For those who want a crash course in Asian snacks, there are bags of honey butter Calbee potato chips and Pocky biscuit sticks. Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards

These Are the BEST Things To Eat In Every State
If theres something that screams, Americana, its a road trip…and food. OK. Maybe its just food.
But lets pretend youre going on a road trip to all 50 states. What are the must eat foods in every state? Im glad you asked, as Business Insider went ahead and found what they determined to be the one thing you have to eat in every state (and Washington D.C.).
The criteria?
They chose the most iconic and famous dishes by taking local recommendations into consideration and picking items you simply can’t get anywhere else.
So pack your bags and your appetite!
1
Alabama
Fried green tomatoes, anyone? Theiconic Southern side dish consists of unripe tomatoes fried in cornmeal and were made famous by the 1987 novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Caf. And, of course, the subsequent movie based on it.
2
Alaska
Because king crab legs are rare and incredibly dangerous to catch, this makes theman expensive delicacy, but totally worth it.
3
Arizona
Chimichangas deep-fried and meat-filled tortillas were allegedly invented in Tucson after a burrito was accidentally dropped into a fryer.
4
Arkansas
Not only are they known for cheese dip, but thestate even hosts the World Cheese Dip Championship and has a cheese-dip trail.
5
California
Seeing as they’re on the coast and the state prides itself on authentic Mexican cuisine, it’s no surprise you should pick up a flaky fish taco if you hit the Golden State.
6
Colorado
Don’t be fooled by the name. In case you never saw Funny Farm, Rocky Mountain Oystersthe iconic food of the stateare actually bull testicles.
7
Connecticut
New Haven-style pizza, also known as “apizza,” put the small town on the map.
8
Delaware
Vinegar French fries: Potatoesare soaked in vinegar, then refrigerated before beingfried.

9
Florida
Seeing as it’s thought that Key Lime Pie wasinvented by sponge fishermen in the Keys, who condensed milk, eggs, and lime aboard their boats when traveling for long periods of time(with no access to an oven)it makes sense that you need a slice.
10
Georgia
It’s the Peach State, so obviously you need to sink your teeth into somecrispy peach pie.
11
Hawaii
Yes, Spam. Make fun of it all you want, but Hawaiians were introduced to it during WWII. The Japanese in the area startedturning it into Spam musubi, a sushi roll of sorts that is made with grilled Spam, sticky rice, and nori seaweed.
Voila!
12
Idaho
You know all about Idaho potatoes, so naturally you need some creamy potato chowder with diced bacon on top.
13

If you want to walk it off, there’s even a Hoosier Pie trail for visitors.

Iowa
The pork to bun ratio is a bit off, butIowa is famous for its pork tenderloin sandwiches, which contain a breaded and fried pork cutlet bigger than your head.

19
Maine
When you think Maine, you think lobster. So of course you have to indulge ina lobster roll made with a little tangy mayo and served on a soft hot dog bun.

These Are the BEST Things To Eat In Every State
If theres something that screams, Americana, its a road trip…and food. OK. Maybe its just food.
But lets pretend youre going on a road trip to all 50 states. What are the must eat foods in every state? Im glad you asked, as Business Insider went ahead and found what they determined to be the one thing you have to eat in every state (and Washington D.C.).
The criteria?
They chose the most iconic and famous dishes by taking local recommendations into consideration and picking items you simply can’t get anywhere else.
So pack your bags and your appetite!
1
Alabama
Fried green tomatoes, anyone? Theiconic Southern side dish consists of unripe tomatoes fried in cornmeal and were made famous by the 1987 novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Caf. And, of course, the subsequent movie based on it.
2
Alaska
Because king crab legs are rare and incredibly dangerous to catch, this makes theman expensive delicacy, but totally worth it.
3
Arizona
Chimichangas deep-fried and meat-filled tortillas were allegedly invented in Tucson after a burrito was accidentally dropped into a fryer.
4
Arkansas
Not only are they known for cheese dip, but thestate even hosts the World Cheese Dip Championship and has a cheese-dip trail.
5
California
Seeing as they’re on the coast and the state prides itself on authentic Mexican cuisine, it’s no surprise you should pick up a flaky fish taco if you hit the Golden State.
6
Colorado
Don’t be fooled by the name. In case you never saw Funny Farm, Rocky Mountain Oystersthe iconic food of the stateare actually bull testicles.
7
Connecticut
New Haven-style pizza, also known as “apizza,” put the small town on the map.
8
Delaware
Vinegar French fries: Potatoesare soaked in vinegar, then refrigerated before beingfried.
If you want the original, they can be found at Thrasher’s on the Rehoboth boardwalk.
9
Florida
Seeing as it’s thought that Key Lime Pie wasinvented by sponge fishermen in the Keys, who condensed milk, eggs, and lime aboard their boats when traveling for long periods of time(with no access to an oven)it makes sense that you need a slice.
10
Georgia
It’s the Peach State, so obviously you need to sink your teeth into somecrispy peach pie.
11
Hawaii
Yes, Spam. Make fun of it all you want, but Hawaiians were introduced to it during WWII. The Japanese in the area startedturning it into Spam musubi, a sushi roll of sorts that is made with grilled Spam, sticky rice, and nori seaweed.
Voila!
12
Idaho
You know all about Idaho potatoes, so naturally you need some creamy potato chowder with diced bacon on top.
13
Illinois
Whether you’re on team New York-style or Chicago-style pizza, you have to admit thatdeep-dish pizza, with its thick flour-and-cornmeal crust, deserves to beIllinois’ signature dish.
14
Indiana
Hoosier pie(made with sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and cinnamon)is Indiana’s official state pie.
If you want to walk it off, there’s even a Hoosier Pie trail for visitors.
15
Iowa
The pork to bun ratio is a bit off, butIowa is famous for its pork tenderloin sandwiches, which contain a breaded and fried pork cutlet bigger than your head.
16
Kansas
It’s the Breadbasket of America, so samplethe homemade, sticky, cinnamon-crusted rolls from Strouds.
17
Kentucky
It’s Kentucky. Would you expect anything otherthan fried chicken?
18
Louisiana
Legend has it thatpo’ boyswere invented by two restaurant owners and former streetcar conductors in New Orleans. They created them to feed their colleagues, who were on a strike against the streetcar company in 1929.
I guess it wasn’t a hunger strike.
19
Maine
When you think Maine, you think lobster. So of course you have to indulge ina lobster roll made with a little tangy mayo and served on a soft hot dog bun.
20
Maryland
And when you think Maryland, you think crab. So nestle on intoa tender, buttery crab cake lightly spiced with Old Bay seasoning, a Maryland original blend of herbs and spices.
21
Massachusetts
New England clam chowder, sometimes called Boston chowder, unlike its many impostors, is cream-based and full of potatoes and never, ever tomatoes.
22
Michigan
The Coney Dog is unique to Michigan. Why? It’s a steamed hot dog on a bun, topped with a meaty, chili-like sauce and diced onions.
23
Minnesota
The state fish is walleye, so enjoy its soft, flaky texture on crispy bread in a walleye sandwich.
24
Mississippi
The bewhiskered fish is a popular dish here, usually grilled, blackened, or fried to crispy, flaky perfection, which is no surprise seeing asalmost 60% of the countrys farm-raised catfish comes from Mississippi.
25
Missouri
Whether you call it fried or toasted, if you breaded and deep fryravioli and serve it with a side of marinara sauce, you really can’t go wrong.
26
Montana
I’m your huckleberry…pie, that is.
The berries are native to high altitudes, like the high mountains of Montana, and make the perfect filling for apie.
27
Nebraska
Like Hot Pockets? Then you’ll digRunzas meat-filled bread pockets can be found all throughout Nebraska.
28
Nevada
While the casinos in Las Vegas often look like a buffet of defeat and sadness, you can feed your feelings atsome of the most over-the-top buffets in the country. Fill your plate with everything you can imagine.
29
New Hampshire
There are more than30 orchards full offresh apples, so of course you need someapple crisp apples covered in sugar, cinnamon, oats, and butter.
30
New Jersey
The well-known regional staple of pork roll (or Taylor ham) consists of a processed pork product made with a mix of salt, spices, and sugar cured before being smoked and packaged.
31
New Mexico
Whenchili peppers are one of thestate vegetables, it’s a given that you’re known for producing fresh, hot chili-based sauces that are poured on everything from eggs to burritos to burgers.
32
New York
Nope, it isn’t the bagel. It’s the pizza pie, specially NewYork-style characterized by a puffy outer crust that gets thinner and crispier once it hits the middle.
33
North Carolina
HereBBQ translates to succulent, slow-cooked pork that is chopped or shredded and drowned either in a tangy vinegar sauce or a sweet, ketchup-infused sauce.
34
North Dakota
Burgers are a staple, but a bison burger is full of lean and juicy bison patties stacked between a bun with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and other toppings.
35
Ohio
You can’t go wrong withpeanut-butter-fudge pieces that are partially dipped in chocolate to resemble the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree.
In other words, get your eyes(and your hands)on some buckeyes.
36
Oklahoma
It’s not chicken, but chicken-fried steak is a breaded piece of thin and tenderized beefsteak that often comes with sides like fried okra and grits, and it’s a staple in Oklahoma.
37
Oregon
Have you heard ofmarionberries?
Dubbed the “Cabernet of blackberries,” thanks to their complex flavor, they are a popular choice for pie fillings.
38
Pennsylvania
Was there any doubt? It’s the cheesesteak, which consists of a long, crusty roll stuffed with rib-eye beef and either melted Provolone cheese or Cheese Whiz. Toppings can include fried onions, mushrooms, and peppers.

Waking up:
Waking up early morning on Sundays (or well, any other day for that matter) is not my thing. That is one reason why I am in love with the idea of “brunch”. Therefore, Sunday brunch sounds like a perfect combination.
On our way:
I got up late (duh!) but as it was decided already that mom and I will be going for a brunch, I was ready in no time. The ride to Beach Luxury was pretty smooth (thankfully because of the weekend and well, it was also Christmas day). Upon reaching the hotel, we met a little rush (there was a wedding function going on, i took a sneak peek at the decor and it was fab. took notes in case I want a day time reception lol). And then we were welcomed by a giant Christmas tree around the reception area. It looked so festive and cute. Anyway, so we headed to 007 where the Sunday brunch usually take place.
Starting the brunch with Soup:
It was a large hall, and the Christmas music was blaring in the air. Once we were greeted and settled down, we were asked our desired flavor from the soup. Mom went with French Onion while I tried Mulligatawny Soup. It was served with bread basket. Even though it was a buffet system, I really liked how courteous the staff was. (Also, I liked French Onion soup’s  taste better than mine lol).
Salad bar fascination:
Yes, you read that right. I have some fascination with Salad bars. And this was the first side I visited as soon as I got over (not really lol) with my soup. Salad bar was definitely done right. Lots of varieties, lots of colors and I just could not get enough. There were different cold cuts meat platter with a variety of prawn in dynamite sauce, fish in yogurt sauce, turkey, beef along with different sausages.
And here’s how my plate looked like:
Round 1: Salad with Chicken Muscovite & Stuffed Turkey from Main Course
Round 2 – Fight – oh i mean, EAT:
There were a lot of options to choose from and as you can see from my first plate above, I did survey one side first which had a lot of main course options apart from the Salad bar. Take a look below:
Chicken Mandarin
Chicken Muscovite
Machcha Patropoda (Fish in Banana Leaves – Kerala Style)
Stuffed Turkey
Seafood Gratin
Mini Beef Burgers
As you can see, this side had a lot of continental dishes. Fish in Banana Leaves is a famous dish in South India (Kerala) then there was Seafood Gratin (base of seafood – prawn, fish, crabs baked with pasta and topped with whitesauce and cheese). Then there was classic roasted turkey with stuffed herbs. When I asked if the variety remains the same every Sunday, I was told that these guys do bring their specials and alternate between the dishes. I assume I got lucky that it was Christmas day as well. I definitely loved the variety of dishes.
Exploring the Desiness:
Moving on to the other side, I realized it was majorly the desi corner. Apart from the frying station (hot crispy fish and prawns yum), roasted lamb & bread corner, this area had desi written all over it.
French Onion Soup
Mulligatawny Soup
Bread Corner
  Here comes the desi food brigade:
Desi Halwa Puri
Aalo Tarkari
Bohri Fried Cutlets
Chicken Malai Boti
Chicken Bohri Biryani
Chicken Sally (Parsi Chicken Curry)
Chicken Shawarma in Tandoor
Chunky Potatoes
Masala Dal & Vegetable Stew (Parsi Special)
Mutton Gosht
I loved the variety and some of the dishes were inspired by Bohri & Parsi cuisine. Also, the bread corner was really good as it had a variety of not just breads but cereals too. I also loved fried prawns, crispy & very delicious. It wasn’t a tempura for a change. The roasted lamb at the same station was pretty good too.  If you are somebody who prefer to have heavy breakfast/brunch, I’d totally recommend you to visit here as the variety is pretty good.
Prawn, Lamb, Cheese bread with salad
  Let’s have something sweet?
I always wait for this part because *MAJOR SWEET TOOTH ALERT*. Dessert station, however, was a pretty small affair. Even though I LOVED the addition of traditional Christmas cakes, I’d have loved it more had they offered more variety here. Anyway, I tried the cake and it was delicious. Just the right amount of nuts and fruits, totally like Christmas in your mouth and I paired with slightly bitter coffee *OMG* I can’t tell you how perfect it was. Apart from the cake, I tried a mix of everything else which tasted good too.
  In a nutshell:
I loved the variety and I am planning to take my brother along next time as there was enough variety for both Desi food and Continental food lovers (which I was not expecting honestly). Here’s to hoping they add more variety in dessert at least 1/4th of what they’re offering in main course (really impressed). Another thing which I noticed was there was a number of beverages offered (tea/coffee/milk/tang), I’d definitely suggest to keep more variety in juices and if you’re keeping a balance in the food, an addition of lassi would be really fab. :) Overall, it was a good experience and the brunch costs Rs. 1695 plus tax (per person) and along with the buffet, different activities like face painting, boat riding, pool activity for kids are also offered for free (which means a fun relaxing family time!).
Rating: 8/10
Happy faces after eating. Want that radiance? Go have a brunch! :p
till next time.. happy eating!
