With the return of its seasonal hit, the Go Mango Menu, Mitron Bar & Cafe provides a much-needed culinary respite as the temperature rises and the city starts to boil. This carefully planned spread, which is only available for a short time at Mitron’s vibrant locations in Bandra, Andheri, Navi Mumbai, and Thane, is more than simply a nod to the popular Alphonso mango; it’s a daring reimagining of summer eating that strikes a balance between nostalgia and international flair.

With a twist, the Mango takes center stage
Naturally, the king of fruits is the menu’s main attraction. Mitron doesn’t, however, play it safe. Rather, the culinary team takes a bold approach to creating foods that are both comforting and full of unique twists. Consider the Tokyo Mango Sando, which combines pillowy bread and umami layers with smooth mango, or the Crispy Prawns with Spicy Alphonso Salsa, which offers a delicious contrast of crunch and sweetness.

The Mango Sushi is a fun surprise with a tropical twist if you enjoy sushi. A hot, fruity twist on a classic is provided by the Spicy Mango Curry, while the jaw-dropping Mango Pull-Me-Up dessert combines mango cream, sponge, and mascarpone in a tabletop display that is as Instagram-worthy as it is indulgent.

Enjoy the Summer with These Amazing Cocktails The beverage selection is also worthy of praise. The Mangifera, a gin-based masterpiece enhanced with raw mango and ginger pickle and topped with a homemade raw mango sorbet, is the standout item on the menu. It is refreshing, fragrant, and tangy. Seasonal mocktails and expertly made cocktails complement the cuisine in a way that is pleasing to the palate and elevates the overall experience.

Local Soul, Global Inspiration
Although fusion is at the heart of Mitron’s culinary philosophy, this meal demonstrates that creativity need not come at the expense of authenticity. With influences from European, Asian, and Indian cuisines, the Go Mango Menu strikes a balance between being approachable and daring. Furthermore, the restaurant’s continued dedication to sustainability and quality is supported by the usage of locally grown Alphonso mangoes. Irresistible, welcoming, and inclusive Regardless of your dietary restrictions—vegetarian, vegan, Jain, gluten-free, or just a mango lover—Mitron makes sure that no diner is left behind.

This menu is a celebration that genuinely embraces everyone because each item has been carefully created with dietary inclusion in mind.

An Essential Summer Vacation Mitron’s Go Mango Menu is a seasonal marvel that offers both flavor and experience with its creative fusion, artistic plating, and nod to India’s summertime symbol. This meal is only available until the first week of June, so act quickly. I hope it comes back next summer with both well-loved favorites and maybe some surprises.

For the ideal summer evening, head there during golden hour, find a good view, and have the Mangifera with the Mango Sushi.

Choose the Right Newborn Body Lotion

Newborn skin is incredibly sensitive, so choosing the right winter body lotion is essential. Look for one that is specifically crafted for babies with natural occlusive agents like almond butter and humectants such as aloe vera extract, and free of harsh chemicals and toxins. Enriched with humus extract containing unique microbiome-restoring properties from Finnish nature, CITTA’s first-of-its-kind Protecting Body Lotion is a dermatologist-approved moisturizing lotion for face and body that intensely hydrates and protects delicate baby skin.

Available in two sizes – 170ml & 50ml

Price: 170ml – Rs. 599/-, 50ml – Rs. 280/-

Sunscreen is Non Negotiable

Sunscreen is essential year-round, even in winter, to protect your child’s delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. If your baby is six months and older, use sunscreen with SPF 70 and PA++++, and reapply every 2-3 hours. CITTA’s Protecting Sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection, enriched with humus extract, aloe vera, almond butter, and Himalayan apricot oil. It moisturizes and protects the skin while stimulating skin immunity. Apply 15-30 minutes before heading outdoors and don’t forget to reapply.

Price: Rs. 849/-

Use a Balm Moisturizer for Extra Protection

In the winter months, some areas of your baby’s skin may require a heavier layer of protection, especially on the cheeks, hands, and lips. A balm moisturizer works great for these high-exposure areas. CITTA’s Moisturizing Baby Balm is enriched with natural ingredients like shea butter and 8 essential oils that provide intense nourishment, sealing moisture into the skin and protecting it from the cold, dry air. Use it for your little one and yourself when heading outdoors in harsh weather conditions.

Available in three sizes – 200gm, 100gm & 50gm
Price: 200gm – Rs. 1099/-, 100gm – Rs. 650/-, 50gm – Rs. 450/-

Other Winter Skin Care Tips

• Limit Bath Time: Long baths, especially in warm water, can dry out your baby’s skin. Keep baths short, and use lukewarm water to prevent moisture loss. Always follow up with a lotion or a moisturizer immediately after the bath while the skin is still damp.
• Humidify the Air: Dry indoor air can aggravate skin dryness. Using a humidifier in your baby’s room can help maintain moisture in the air, preventing the skin from drying out.
• Dress Your Baby Properly: When taking your baby outside in cold weather, make sure they are properly bundled up in layers. A hat and mittens are essential to protecting the skin from the cold air.
• Hydration Is Key: To keep your little one’s skin hydrated and supple, make sure your little one receives the required amount of fluids each day, whether that be breastmilk or water, depending on their age.
• Oil Massage: Massaging your baby’s skin with a nourishing baby massage oil, especially during the winter, can intensely nourish their delicate skin while protecting it from external stressors.
  
  

By following these steps, you can help keep your baby’s skin healthy and comfortable all winter long.

As someone who likes to experiment with different culinary customs, We recently got to enjoy YOUMEE’s much awaited Sushi Festival. This one-time e+vent, which runs from November 21 to December 26, features a mouthwatering array of sushi that expertly combines the finest Japanese flavors with modern fusion touches. The event serves both sushi connoisseurs and novices at its several locations across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Kochi. We can state with confidence that this sushi festival is a celebration of originality, excellence, and genuineness after trying the menu myself.

A wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes are available at the Sushi Festival, each expertly prepared to provide a variety of tastes, textures, and gourmet sensations. There is something for everyone, regardless of your preference for delicate, classic sushi or your desire for something more creative.

Vegetarian Treats: Sushi with truffle mushrooms This sushi roll is exceptional. The soft, umami-filled mushrooms and the earthy richness of truffle oil combine to provide a sumptuous take on a normally light vegetable-based dish. The aromatic truffle elevates the earthy flavour of the mushrooms, while the delicately vinegared sushi rice counterbalances the richness. Both guests who are vegan and those who are not will enjoy this treat. A memorable bite is created by the delicate combination of the truffle and the mushrooms.

The delicate spinach and creamy ingredients in this roll, which is wrapped in vinegared rice, create a lovely balance that gives it a silky texture with every bite. While the cream offers a rich, sweet flavour that lingers on the taste, the spinach is fresh and cooked just enough. This roll is perfect for people who enjoy hearty, comforting flavours yet choose to eat vegetarian food. Though inventive, it maintains a strong connection to the classic sushi experience.

Salmon Aburi Sushi: If you enjoy grilled sushi, this dish is sure to impress everyone. The salmon’s delicate, uncooked interior contrasts wonderfully with the smoky, charred finish that results from gentle searing. It has a nice texture because to the slight crispness on the edges, and the combination of flavours from the creamy avocado and a light soy sauce drizzle rounds out the experience. It delivers a delightful and comfortable melt-in-your-mouth experience with the ideal ratio of warm to fresh.

Prawn Tempura Sushi Roll: This sushi roll is a must-try if you enjoy the crunch of tempura. The golden and crispy prawn tempura is served with vinegared rice and a dash of hot mayo, creating a harmonious combination of flavours and textures. Every bite is delightfully complemented by the crispiness of the prawn, the softness of the rice, and the smoothness of the mayo. It is a delightful option for people who want something that is both crisp and tender since it combines the delicate sushi experience with the deep-fried delight of tempura.

In addition to these famous rolls, the Sushi Festival serves a few other notable foods. For instance, the Paradise Roll, which consists of avocado, sweet Japanese beans, and fresh salmon served with spicy mayo, is a showstopper. Fans of stronger Flavors will appreciate the Crunchy Unagi’s deep and savory depth, which is enhanced by the addition of eel tempura, cucumber, and unagi mayo.

With its fusion of creativity and tradition, YOUMEE’s Sushi Festival is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Pan-Asian cuisine this season. The combination of exquisite flavors, fresh ingredients, and innovative concepts makes it a truly memorable dining experience. Don’t miss it before December 26!

Designer Anjali Phougat has been making headlines with her designs that she is presenting on the international platforms. Giving a glimpse of her Indian roots, her collection has a modern flair. She recently made her debut at the LA Fashion Week, and is grateful for the opportunity. Indian professional wrestler and MMA fighter, actor, motivational speaker, and health expert Sangram Singh was the showstopper for her show. 

She said, “This year has been full of major milestones. One of the most prominent was my debut at LA Fashion Week, where I launched my ‘Satori’ collection—an ode to the soul journey and inner wisdom.”

“Additionally, I’m truly proud to have launched the first-ever Indian saree collection on the CFDA platform, an honor that holds a special place in my heart. I’ve also worked on dressing inspiring women who use their platforms to empower others, which aligns with my philosophy of fixing each other’s crowns,” she added.

She also represented her collection at the New York Fashion Week and is happy with the experience. She said, “New York Fashion Week is always a whirlwind of creativity and innovation. This year was no different. It’s exhilarating to be surrounded by such talent and to contribute to the ever-evolving conversation of fashion.”

“For me, it was about more than just showcasing designs; it was about telling a story that resonates on a deeper level—one of authenticity, sustainability, and empowering others. The response was incredibly positive, and it’s humbling to see the impact of my work in such a prestigious setting,” she added.

Anjali had an incredible 2024, and she shared that it was filled with immense growth, learning, and exciting opportunities. “I’ve traveled extensively this year, which has expanded my cultural understanding and deepened my connection with the global fashion community. The year has also been spiritually significant, allowing me to focus on inner wisdom and align my goals with positivity and productivity. It’s been a year of embracing clean living, self-care, and personal evolution, both as a designer and as an individual,” she said.

She is co-producing fashion week events in Dubai, London, India, Paris, and Milan, and said, “These events will be an incredible opportunity to showcase Indian artisans on a global stage and continue supporting sustainable fashion. Beyond that, I’m working on several exciting collaborations that will bring my vision of blending heritage and modern fashion to life in new, unexpected ways. There’s always something brewing, and I can’t wait to share more soon.”

What next? “After LA Fashion Week, I’m focusing on bringing my collections to international audiences. I’m excited to work on fashion events in Dubai, London, and beyond, each of which will highlight Indian craftsmanship and artisans on a global platform. Additionally, I’m collaborating on a few sustainability-focused projects that will bridge the gap between luxury fashion and responsible design practices. There’s so much in the pipeline, and I’m looking forward to what’s next,” Anjali ended.

Taking place in November, this age-old custom results in a richly flavourful mixture that forms the base for the classic Christmas fruit cakes, celebrated for their warmth, aroma, and seasonal essence.

Following the cake mixing, guests enjoyed a sumptuous Sunday Brunch featuring an array of festive and seasonal dishes. The brunch showcased a global and regional spread, with selections including fresh salads, soups, sushi, pasta, cheese boards, flavourful mains, and decadent desserts. Each dish complemented the festive ambiance, allowing guests to indulge in a culinary journey that captured the holiday spirit.

More than just an event, the cake mixing celebration at Mitron fostered a sense of togetherness, welcoming families, friends, and the community to share in the season’s joy.
