First time

There is a first time for everything. I lost my virginity for Georgian food at Iberia restaurant today. The name of the restaurant might fool one think it offers Spanish cuisine. But it does not. There is another Iberia. Read the full story here.

I loved the food; earthy and rich, simple and unconstrained, yet delicious.

Borjomi mineral water

I had my Saturday lunch at Maroush Express, my favorite Lebanese restaurant in London. I ordered sparkling water to drink with my usual houmous and tabouleh. I got a bottle of Borjomi mineral water which turned out to be excellent, just the right amount of bubbles.

After finishing my lunch I started examining the Borjomi bottle etiquette. It has the name Borjomi written with Roman and Georgian alphabet on it. The Georgian alphabet look so beautiful. They have an ancient feel to them although they were discovered only in 405AD, much later than their Roman cousins. It also turned out that Borjomi is a small but famous town in Georgia and renowned for its healing mineral water.

Now I am waiting my next encounter with Borjomi.
