Food with views on the
move
Try a new way to
experience a city and don't forget to pre-book them on your next vacation!
BUSTRONOME, PARIS
A gigantic (looming almost three
storeys) bus that offers multi-course gourmet lunches and dinners while
exploring the highlights of Paris. The ta bles are set with fine china and in
the centre of the table is a Lucite assembly to hold the glassware so that the
drinks don't spill while the bus is moving. Another highlight is instead of
having historical information blaring through speakers, on the back of the menu
is a map of the various stops and one is given an electronic pointer to tap on
each spot of the map which automatically dispenses the history through a
speaker in the pointer. The French classical menu is decadent.
COLONIAL TRAMCAR, MELBOURNE
The tramcars (there are three of
them), tailored with regal furnishings with plush velvet lined cushioned seats,
burgundy and gold drapes outlining the windows; and oak panels, mirrors and
brass fitting lined walls; and also happen to be the first tramcar restaurant
in the world taking you back in in time. Functioning for lunch, early and late
dinner services all week, beside extra services for exceptional occasions; it's
an amazing experience to step on-board and enjoy a scenic cruise around the
picturesque city as you glide through the city streets on to South Melbourne,
St Kilda, Prahran and Malvern aboard; the enjoyable menu features fresh local produce
which is prepared on board the tram, and the bar is well-stocked.
APSARA BOAT CRUISE, BANGKOK
Here's a chance to experience
Bangkok's il lustrious waterways, which form the heartbeat of this enthralling
historic city by a combination of delightful cuisine and essential sightseeing
on board the `Apsara', a vintage-style rice barge cruising the magnificent Chao
Phraya, the River of Kings. One can indulge in selections of Royal Thai cuisine
and canapés, served with first class service aboard the noble teak wood vessel.
The cruise operates every day for dinner and includes a Royal Thai Gourmet
dinner. One can even book a private charter for special occasions.
SINGAPORE FLYER
The fine dining experience in flight
a sky wheel replete with a full service butler is the world's first and clubbed
with the 360-degree view of the city throughout the experience is thrilling.
Nothing quite beats the romance of a sky high dining amidst a matchless aerial
view of Singapore's Marina Bay including the Marina Bay Floating Platform, used
for Singapore's National Day parades and even the island city's central
business district. As the capsule progressively ascents near the apex, one can
see the lights which make the city skyline glittering.There are also options of
just booking a high tea or enjoying champagne or a drink in the flight.
WALKING TOUR, SEATTLE
To get an insider's view of the food
world in and around the famous Pike Place Market, opt for a guided tour. It has
a historical four c hour moveable feast that also highlights on culinary trends
and producers. The sojourn begins from the fond bronze giant-sized Rachel, the
piggy bank.Walking through the buildings and outdoor stands, you discover
beautiful seasonal flowers, fresh cut meat and seafood from local butchers and
fishermen.The many fish stalls, that throw fish around are famous and have
featured in the movie Free Willy too.You will love the Beecher's homemade
cheese, best ever Macaroni and cheese out here! Rupali Dean is a Delhi-based
