           Drunken Teddy                      and we had to take deep sips of the Victoria
                                              Tangerine, a citrusy gin cocktail for respite
                                              from the heat.
           Horizon Building, 57, Jawaharlal      For desserts, we tried their deconstructed
           Nehru Rd, Elgin, Kolkata 700071    tiramisu that featured a coffee sponge, coffee
           Mob: 0 78905 55222                 Mascarpone cream and a meringue ending the
           Meal for two: Approximately R2500 +   meal on a curious if ambivalent mode. Are
           taxes, with alcohol                classic desserts like tiramisu best left alone?
                                              The proof, as always, is in the pudding.
           All-day dining and party hotspot Drunken
           Teddy turned a year older and with it, sports   Crystal Ravioli
           a new look and a revamped menu. While the
           interiors have only been given a minor spruce
           up, their menu has a whole new set of 'sip
           and bite'.
             First up we had a cute version of the
           Watermelon Feta Salad that comprised                                   Not Your
                                                                                  Ordinary
           alternating discs of watermelon and chickpea-                          Watermelon &
           based patties. We loved our deep purple                                Feta
           Jamuntini,  a gin martini with a jamun-based
           kick. The Chicken Souvlaki came with mini
           pitas and a refreshing tzatziki sauce, and was
           a well-balanced savoury starter. The Truffle
           Scented Junglee Mushroom  was a  tandoori
           cheese take on stuffed mushrooms that may
           perhaps overpower any truffle aroma. Pepper
           Chicken Roast was as peppery as promised
