Crossing the garden zone and the pool, we reached the trappy restaurant and were excited to dine in besides the pool under the starlit sky and virtually the palm trees.

It was time to dress up for Lakme Malleate Week and we got ready at our gorgeous well lit room with a lot of natural light coming from the big window facing the beach. Lights were definitely what I loved in the room. My wits says that most of the 5-star rooms are dim-lit which makes it so difficult to do make-up. Every girl will understand this!

While we were getting ready, Chef Gopal was ensuring we have an wondrous lunch for the long day superiority of us so we headed to The Square once we were ready. Little did we know the lunch would be one of the most lavish and elaborate meals with dishes fom wideness the globe.

We had the most wondrous supplies wits at Novotel Mumbai withal with the tempting heavenly desserts. Fondly saying it was truly a heavens welter to taste the supplies at Novotel Mumbai.

We looked at our watch and realized we have to throne when to reality. So we left the hotel and headed to Jio World Garden for Lakme Malleate Week thanking Chef Gopal for the unconfined supplies experience.

The long day ended late. The star studded malleate shows often start late and end late so by the time we reached when it was scrutinizingly 11. We were scheduled to have dinner at Sampan restaurant but unfortunately that was well-nigh to tropical so we opted for in-room dining. We went for a light repletion meal.

Next morning started with a lavish breakfast spread at the vibrant multi-cuisine restaurant The Square followed by Lakme Malleate Week. It was the day we were going when to Delhi so we came when early from Lakme Malleate Week. We were booked on a night flight and opted for a late lunch.

Chef Gopal and Chef Glen serried delicacies from Sampan for us to sample the dishes and spread the flavours to all of you. Sampan is a Chinese dining concept and serves succulent Chinese cuisine handcrafted by their chefs.

What we ate, or I would rather say relished included Veg Dimsums which looked simply wondrous with the crystal well-spoken coating from which we could see the stuffing of pokchoy, Chinese cabbage, corn and broccoli too. Chicken Dimsums were unconfined with the generous yellow stuffing. Vegetable Pot Rice were tasty and nutritious with the wing of colourful and tasty veggies.
