Dear friends,

Chennai is gearing up for a scorching summer and we thought let’s cool it a bit by featuring various ways to indulge oneself. But of course being the mindful consumer you are, we have chosen ways for you to pair up indulgence with goodness. From getaways to spa products, we throw light on the hautest ways to be cool this summer. You get bonus points for being kind to Mother Earth in the process.

We take a trip down to ECR to chat up with a new Chef who’s rediscovering Chennai palate and an industry veteran who is redefining hospitality in namma ECR. Whether you are looking to hang out with your family and decide to de-stress at home, we have you covered.

Summer doesn’t have to be all sweat, we hope you have the sweetest summer of your life.

Ditch the guilt

Sustainable luxury is the new buzzword for the climate-conscious and minimalistloving “IT” folks of today. While most global brands have voluntarily adopted various ways to reduce their environmental impact, it’s the homegrown and local artisan brands which are paving the way in making real change. In this globalised world, it’s important to know where our joy comes from.

Conscious Vacations

Travel and vacation have taken a new meaning with travel bloggers posting pictures of perfect paradises and unique destinations. Most of these places have gradually become saturated and have lost their initial charm and serenity. However, some remain untouched by commercialization and rampant promotions. One such place is Wabi Retreats. The word Wabi refers to harmony, peace, tranquillity and balance.

This Resort is a part of Kakakothi Parai Plantation, a 32-acre family farm located on the banks of the Upper River in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. Nestled amongst the magnificent Valparai range of the Western Ghats, the farm mainly focuses on seasonal paddy, coconut and mango cultivation. The farm offers minimalist but luxurious cottages with a view of the Upper River. Each cottage has a private lawn and a plunge pool. The cottages are eco-friendly and are naturally cooled with a green living roof, stone flooring, walls and wire mesh opening for maximum ventilation. The cottages have beautifully designed bathrooms with open-to-sky showers. For those who want to enjoy all the comforts of modern living but still want to feel connected to nature, Wabi Retreat is the perfect place to be.

Guilt-free Gourmet - Pramod

Despite the void in city’s restaurants that serve genuine health foods, it is heartening to see bistros like the newly

opened Eko-Lyfe in Alwarpet, embodying the spirit of clean eating with health and joy. This gluten free bistro prides itself on its use of organic and all- vegan ingredients to curate a contemporary cuisine that stand out for its high grade quality. For instance, their Roasted Cauliflower Soup is an unpretentious light coloured broth is packed with flavours of vegan cheddar and toasted melon seeds for crunch. It’s light, airy and warms the palate sufficiently.

Each and every one of their elements are either prepared in-house or procured directly from the source.Even the coffees are made with plant-based milk like oats or almond.Their range of salad bowls like the Mexican Vegan Salad, Greek Goddess Salad, Spicy Cashew Veggie Bowl and the appetising Smoked Kebab Kob Salad are absolutely splendid in colours, almost rainbow like - and an ideal source of fibre as well a great way satiate hunger pangs. The Sticky Korean Wings, or rather in this case, cauliflower florets, are glazed with a dark Korean Gochujang base that gives off a hint of heat with a slight tad of sweetness. It’s firm yet succulent in its absorbed juices that allows the tongue to relish all in its entirety. However, the sheer diversity in the Mediterranean Mezze Platter is something to behold in terms of size, shades and texture. The creamy hummus variants, the silky baba ghanoush and the crispy brown falafel with pita bread all make up for one delicious plate of blooming goodness !! The crunchy couscous salad with its scrumptious chickpeas breaks the monotony that only enlivens the spread.

Their Pizzas come with an option of gluten free, whole wheat or sourdough as its thin crust base and makes congruous use of wholesome elements like delicate tofu, fresh basil pesto, wilted spinach, sun-dried and cherry tomatoes as the main characters with defined roles. Each bite is a surprise that lends all the joy without the post meal guilt.

For those apprehensive of change, one only needs to sample bites from this exciting menu before they find themselves converted to bonafide vegans.

Catch Some Rays

Silver Sands. People born in the 70s and 80s have fond memories of spending summer holidays in this beach resort. It was the first beach resort in the Chennai (then known as Madras), and some say even in India. Today, we walk on the same property and the memories flood back. The current management, Kences Constructions Pvt Ltd are clear they want to stay rooted, yet are ready to adapt to modern times.

“Right after Tsunami we got this property, and had to renovate it. We officially started operations as Welcom Hotel Kences Palm Beach in 2015,” explains Krishna Muttineni, C E O of the project. The company had already forayed into the hospitality industry and was prepared to take on this project. “When we took over, we were clear that we wanted to create a 5 star resort. This is our first property under the Welcom brand,” he says.

“We are modifying the rooms and the new look of the resort will be very contemporary. This includes the children’s outdoor area, indoor space, and modernization of the health centre and spa”, he says. Kences Palm Beach has become a sought after space for destina tion weddings and corporate events. ““We currently offer 94 rooms and are experiencing a growing demand. Further more, our pillar-less banquet hall spans 9000 square feet with a height of 23 feet. Over the next year, we plan to expand by adding 30 new rooms and introducing exciting facilities designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s travelers and ensure

guest delight with our exceptional team here.” says Krishna. We like the fact that off the umpteen properties in ECR, their rooms are the ones that are closest to the sea and nothing rejuvenates us better than the calming call of the ocean.

Their latest addition Namma Shack, a cozy on the beach dining area has been well received. Besides the all day dining, the team will also be setting up a café shortly. “We’ve planned a café on the deck, so you get to catch the beautiful sun rise and just sit back and look at the sea”.

Krishna believes the ECR stretch has a lot of potential, and will surely become a full fledged tourist destination.

“There are a lot of thing to do as a family on ECR. You stay in the resort, explore Mahabalipuram and in the evening swim, play volleyball or do boat rides. It’s a perfect weekend break for the whole family”.

Chef Komal Krishna Adhikari shows a video of his Peking Duck being cooked in his new and imported duck oven.

New to Chennai, Chef Komal is a culinary virtuoso specializing in Pan Asian cuisine, with over 11 years of experience mastering the art of blending flavours and techniques from across Asia.

At Tao of Peng, the duck oven is the centre of attraction since inception. Here they serve various Asian roasts, besides the ubiquitous Peking duck, which is considered the national dish of China. On the table, the thin and crisp skin is obvious. Sliced in front of the guest, beneath the crisp, a warm and soft meat emerges. The duck is served in three courses – the skin, a soup with the bone and finally the meat.

“There are some all-time favourites in the menu, which we will not change. But we will be adding a few dishes, and trying to incorporate more local ingredients,” he says. Chef says that he’s been experimenting with curry leaves and Madras curry oil, and is amazed at how much depth and flavor it offers.

He served, for starters a not too crispy Drunked Chicken (chunks of chicken submerged in chilli, shallots, coriander ett), from the dimsums, ‘Black Truffle Edamame Dumplings (green soy bean paste enriched with the flavor of

black truffles) and the Work Tossed Lotus Root (lotus root, with purified honey, dry chilli, sesame and lotus seed crumble). Among the three of us who dined, child included, the lotus root was a winner, especially when paired with his inhouse chilli and spring onion sauce. As main course, Chef Komal stirred together a spicy fried rice, and serve a ‘Mapo Tofu (tofu, mushroom,chilli and prickly ash oil) and a stir-fried chicken. The dishes maybe from the menu, but he’s been tossing it together in his style – a few ingredients being replaced. His style shines not only through his dishes, but through service. “I talk to each and every table, in each service. The feedback from diners is what matter and is the final verdict.

As the name suggest, Tao means ‘path’ or ‘journey; Peng refers to the culinary master, Peng Zu, who is known to have taken the imperial recipes and cooking techniques out into the world and made it accessible to all. So, the ambience of the restaurant is grand, almost feels royal. It sets the tone for a traditional Chinese meal.

The new chef on board assures it’s going to be a combination of old and new dishes. We look forward to a slightly revamped menu, that draws inspiration from the Asian recipes, yet stays traditional.
