Nine dine is the group of restaurants lined-up in a row that offers variety of cuisines under one roof. It is placed on the east wing of Jio Mall Drive. It makes a great chilling place after shopping at the mall
This was the venue selected for FBAI awards 2022. This was the sixth edition of FBAI awards that honors the celebrities in the food world and recognizes the food connoisseurs of food and beverage industry. It was hosted by @foodbloggerai along with @vikhrolicucina @godrejjersey in partnership with @jioworlddrive, Raymond Made to measure, Aspri spirits, Baskin Robbins creamery, @godrejveg oils,
Attending such events is always fun. I entered at sharp 6:30pm on the 2nd floor of the mall, and was warmly greeted by reps of Godrej who asked me to enter the quiz of guessing the oils by the look and description of the oil. They asked me to just guess one of them so I guessed Mustard oil for it’s dark Orange color and it’s description that it has strong flavors and it’s used in every Indian home.
Baskin-Robbins had spin wheel for testing our lucky spin and I was lucky to win coupons of Rs600 yay!
Such events are the opportunities of meeting new people and your own foodie friends over the finger foods and drinks that do their rounds.
There were some interesting starters like Chicken Peri Peri Poporn, Jhal Muri, Safhia Baalbeco, Jalapeno, Cheese Bombas, Rock Shrimp tempuras, Parmesan Churros, whole wheat toasties, to name the few, accompanied by drinks and spirits
The award felicitation began at 8pm with much excitement. There were about 200 nominees, and each one wished that they could win because these awards recognizes, honors and celebrates celebrity chefs, content creators, platforms and brands in food industry. But of course only the best one wins with trophies and selfies
The ceremony was made interesting by few distractions of emoji games, cooking in minutes by Godrej, and the book launch of a new book by Vikki Ratlani
And finally dinner and chit chat
A great fun filled evening with food, friendship and Selfies
