10 Reasons You Should Visit Burger King

Being the first burger makers and tasters of the Burger King Burger, a day before it opened for people we the bloggers definitely had a fun time. So here is why we think you should go and try it out.

1. The only place in the world where vegetarians like me are served a whopper.
   
2. The whopper truly is a huge burger and you have to hold it via two hands, one hand cannot hold it. 
   
   
   
3. If you love a lot of cheese, the Chilli Cheese is the right one for you.
   
4. The burgers are spicy matching the taste buds of Indians.
   
5. There Onion rings are the best, with good infusion of spice and onion that melts in your mouth. Goes well with tomato ketchup.
   
6. Their smoothies are rich creamy and have the right content of flavor (not too sugary).
   
7. For deserts what better than an Oreo shake, right Oreo lovers?                                                                                                                                                                    8. If you love cheeze and need a little filling, try the cheezos. 

9. Their burgers are made in very hygienic settings (for details check : http://matrixlifemagazine.blogspot.in/2014/11/lets-make-hygienic-burger.html)

10. It serves till 12:00 PM, they wont let you go hungry to bed. 

So are you ready to feel like a King at Burger King?

Yota Phone : Is it the next generation phone?

Yotaphone, the new international brand manufacturing device company is out with the first ever dual screen phone. The front screen is a regular screen like the one in every mobile phone. However, I choose to call it next generation because it comes with a secondary screen at the back which has the e-Ink technology, the one in your kindle readers. This helps you to read unlimited books of course and also access all the contents of your phone like messages , facebook etc. Using the secondary screen saves battery life immensely as it doesn't consume so much power as accessing the same features on the primary screen. this is truly an smart and intelligent design, also a dream for the book lovers.

The Yotaphone Device: Front (primary) and Back (secondary) Screens

The first generation of Yota didn't have a good navigation of the secondary screen making it hard to access, but that feature has been made better in the second generation. This phone totally stands out of the crowd and people planning to buy both a kindle and a phone can do with now just a Yotaphone.  The phone also boasts of a 32gb internal storage, 1.7 GHz + Snapdragon 400, Dual Core, 13 megapixel primary camera and 2gb RAM. 

The device is only available in India via Flipkart only and hence we haven't got a chance to review it yet. Hope that will happen soon. Its Priced at 23,499; little higher than its competitors with similar specifications. Also with Xiomi being a tough competitor, Yotaphone should reconsider its pricing around 15,000-18,000 INR.  Though it does stand out via its USP but going by the public reviews on Flipkart, they still have to do a lot of work on the screen yet. Also they should increase their screen size as that facilitates reading better, 4.3 inches is just not good enough. The secondary camera is just 1 MP and thats just too low as the generations of phones coming out now will have a minimum of 2-5MP camera. 

Once they work on these I will surely grab one, for what does one want more than reading books at leisure on a phone?

Lets make a hygienic burger with Burger King!

On 8th of November 2014, a day before Burger King opened its Indian outlet for people bloggers were invited for an in detailed to cum review of their burgers. While my review will come in the next post what i would love to showcase the health and hygiene conscious generation of mine how a burger is made at Burger King for I made one my self. In retrospection I made the first burger that day at burger king.

Burger King: Second Floor, Select City walk Saket.

Post dividing us in into veg and non-veg teams where Rocky (of Rocky and Mayur foodies fame) was our team lead ensuring everything goes as per plan, and to boost our morale with his cheerful and energy packed attitude. As people started stepping backwards, myself, Deeba Rajan (well she needs no introduction, and for novices she is the most aesthetic food bloggers) and Anubhav Sapra (who is more popularly the founder of Delhi Food Walks) went into the battle ground to make one. Here are the steps we were made to follow:

1. Wear the head cover and apron before entering the kitchen (I wore mine while listening and laughing).

               All smiles...imagine the fun with action!

2. Remove all accessories on your hands. Wash your hands for 30 seconds with soap, scrub the spaces between your fingers with a scrubber (pre-dissolved in antiseptic) and wash with water. Post drying with a tissue paper apply a sanitiser. Wear disposable gloves.

                    The survey security too tight to be surpassed...all eyes on my hands.

     Hands washed, wiped and sanitiser applied,cant touch anything now....gravitating towards gloves.

3. Listen to the instruction by the demonstrator (we got them just once). Each burger has very specific instructions right from the bun being toasted to a precision of standardized number of seconds, to the application of ingredients on the crown/ the base. The burger should weigh right, taste right and made correctly in under thirty seconds. An ideal whopper is made by them in that much time to a precision of 280 grams.

  Looking at the process with every possible angle.

Zooming in....we would have surely got the most attentive team awards, what say?

4. Its time for action! I began with toasting the bun specific to my burger for precisely 14 seconds and add the ingredients in the right order.

Don't miss the team spirit here!

5. The packing is as important as the making. It should be wrapped in a manner that it doesn't come off and yet is easy to handle while opening. Remember how well packed your burgers come? Can you do it? Think Step 1....Oh there is hope    

     Step 2...With perfection in mind....

Step 3: Rocky's smile tells me I am on the right track

           And finally done satisfactorily.......

5. Would you like a Burger...King?

And that is how hygienically and rapidly a burger is made (of course more rapidly than I could). So next time you go to Burger King with your friends or family, be rest assured of one thing - hygiene!

This post is dedicated to my amazing team mates especially Deeba Rajan and Anubhav Sapra. I really had fun with you at the hands on session. Cheers to the veg team!

I wish to thank Jayati Yaksh and Vani Ganesh from Perfect Relations for this amazing experience and my decision to go ahead with my commitment despite of ill health. Ofcourse I look stunning even when not well ;) Do try the Burgers at Burger King and tell us how you liked them?
