Immediate effect after complete absorption by the skin: Skin feels soft for about 3 hours. 

Suitable for..: Dry skin. Perfect for Mumbai winters.

Effect after using it for a month: 




Pros: 

Contains only natural ingredients.

A pleasant scent: Easy on the olfactory senses. Lasts for 2 hours.

Great to apply on hands and feet as well.

Skin looks visibly less dry after lotion is completely dried up on our skin.

No animal testing in any Biotique products.

Great for applying before make up but use very minimal amount in Summer and Monsoon.


Cons:

Suitable for use in Winters alone.



Something to wonder about..

I wonder how the product lasts for 3 years if it contains only natural ingredients and no preservatives.

Conclusion:

Really depends on how dry your skin is, to decide if you want to apply this lotion on your face in seasons apart from Winter.

Pincuk casual dining

This casual dining restaurant offers Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian and Thai.

Meaning of the name: Pincuk= 'Banana leaf'

Address: Shop no. 1, Sul Building, Sector 20D, near NKGSD bank, Airoli, Navi Mumbai-                      400708

Food: Great in terms of taste and affordability! I loved that they serve large portions here (no need to order too many food items!). We had ordered ‘Pincuk ramen’ (Price= Rs. 330) and ‘Nasi Goreng rice’ (Price= Rs. 310). Pincuk ramen is ramen noodles served with chicken, prawns, egg and shiitake mushrooms. The ramen broth, noodles and prawns were amazing. Shiitake mushrooms were ok (or maybe it’s just my taste buds which don’t agree with their taste) and I am sorry to say that the chicken pieces tasted a bit undercooked in the centre. Refer menu page no. 8, item no. 605 on Pincuk's Zomato page.

If you are a fan of seafood, you will looooove Nasi Goreng. Pincuk's version of Nasi Goreng is rice tossed in Thai herbs, chilli and shrimp paste, with prawns served with fried egg, satay chicken, prawns crackers and sambal sauce. There are two versions of the sauce- the spicy and the non-spicy one. We went for the non-spicy one. The taste of the fish in the sauce could have been more subtle. While the sauce is a wonderful addition to the rice, the rice tastes delicious even without it! Refer menu page no. 6, item no. 409 on Pincuk's Zomato page.

We were given this 'aale paak-like' item (Maharashtrians know what I am talking about) which had a light taste of ginger to it, after our meal. This is the equivalent of 'saunf' given in Indian restaurants and hotels.

Service: Is impressive. In spite of being a small place area-wise, the staff was pulling out chairs for customers. One could see the owner serving food with the rest of the staff. Everybody cared a lot about our opinion on the food. Staff answers everything you have to ask about the place. Name tags for every staff member would make the service even better.

Ambience: Is spacious and has minimalistic décor. Don’t want to give away any more spoilers. Go there to experience yourself!

Will I go there again?: Yes. Looking forward to another visit. :)
