Szechuan Food Festival, The Lalit, Chandigarh.

A Szechuan food festival was kicked-off at The Lalit, Chandigarh. OKO, their Pan-Asian restaurant, hands-down has the best Asian food that I had in the city! Chinese, one of my favouite cuisines, I was surely delighted to attend this fest!

The Lalit always has an on-going, monthly event, this time, it's at OKO and it's called the Szechuan food fest. I visited OKO during the fest, and enjoyed a lip-smacking delicious meal. Szechwan cuisine, or Szechuan cuisine is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan province in southwestern China. That is quite the impressive range! 

Everything that I was served was excellent. From chicken salad to duck, and noodles to dessert, everything was just lovely.

The classic black-red interiors and the fest set-up will remind you of the Chinese heritage, you'll love.

I had three dishes and they were oh-so-lovely!! Every dish was well cooked and full of delicious flavours. Also, I can never miss out on the dessert. The Mango pudding being my favourite.

For me, it was a great treat to be at the Szechuan Food Festival at The Lalit, Chandigarh. The fest continues till 25th June, so come and experience the flavours of Chinese cuisine like I did. 

First Hair Colouring Experience- Vintage Salon, Chandigarh

So, I was a hair dye virgin, until now. I finally took the colour plunge which was legit terrifying. Thanks to the Vintage Salon, Chandigarh for making my hair dye fears go away!!

The first time hair colouring experience can be pretty intimidating. I always seriously considered dying my hair all throughout my teenage years, I did my research and was 100 percent sure that I want to make this change. Of course I was very nervous, but as you'll read, you'll know how happy I was in the end, and that's what really matters right?!

You must've noticed that I have jet black hair, or should I say, 'HAD'.

For the colour, I always wanted to play safe and opt for a subtle palette, being a minimalist. 

I definitely took my time to decide whether I wanted to do this or not, if it'll damage my hair or if the colour doesn't match my choice?! I had all these thoughts running across my mind.

I had all the jitters and chills running down my spine. The hair-expert here at the Vintage Salon answered all of my queries in one go! And I was satisfied with my decision. He knew exactly what he was doing and gave honest opinions about my hair.

He used all of the products, colour to the shampoo from Schwarzkopf. And the colour was  Schwarzkopf 7-67, medium blonde, chocolate copper reflects. The colour took around 30-35 minutes to completely settle in.  

After the foils were off and my hair were shampooed and blow-dried, I was in complete awe. I always-always wanted to colour my hair but was super scared of doing so. It was time for the BIG reveal! And god! I was nervous!! Once done, I was extremely satisfied, you'll see as you go through the photos:

I was genuinely happy with the outcome as you must've seen. The Salon's interiors are so striking and lives upto the name-Vintage!!
Located in Sector-26, I highly recommend this salon to you guys. Get all your "hair-dreams" come true! <3
