Mogly’s Mahabaratha ‘fetish’ dishes
EAT, SORRY, RUB CAKE ON YOUR MOUTH; contrast with Sizzle Colombo.
Food play has been on the minds of the S K (Mogly) Adigar family “from the time of the Mahabharata,” as his wife says with a wink, that denotes mischievous creativity. She is currently popularising the franchise in large swathes of the western world, because they have already taken over Asia.
PG Food and Blue Bites are two separate franchises and both are run by Adigar. Liva says husband Mogly operated from the position that people are essentially jaded, eating out.
His ‘fixation’ she says with a smirk, was to capitalize on people’s food fetishes. “Mogly thinks that every sane person has a food fetish of some sort,” she says.
The blue rooms in Blue Bites encourages food fetishes by supplying the specific food and the specific ambience that would support the most daring of food fetishes.
Some of what she says were the requests of customers requesting supply for specific food fetishes, makes this writer want to blush.
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Is there anything comparable in Colombo?
At Sizzle, Colombo, you’d expect things to sizzle but do they?
Well, it begins to look like a rugger scrum sometimes, but that shouldn’t matter because you would be eating Mohammed Ali’s breasts.
Food and the name game at Sizzle
Say what? Mohammed Ali chicken breast is on the menu.
With Bret Hart’s Cycler and Body Slam being some of the items on offer, you’d wonder if they are trying to be sexy or to be in your face. Either way the food doesn’t quite live up to the names, and one wonders whether it was meant that way.
It’s steak tartar if you take Bret Heart’s Cycler. But you can savour the ambience becasue it is rustic, as if Mohommed Ali had come and pummeled the place to a frazzle a week ago.
If the name Sizzle was suggestive the Mogly kind of way (above) you’d leave only with a taste of decadence in your mouth. If that sizzles for you, job done.
