Must attend

If you don't have the time to travel to Ladakh, but want to taste Pakthuk, a noodle soup with yak cheese from Nubra Valley, take a taxi to Mahalaxmi.

The debut edition of Isuzu X Food Festival 2019 opens today at the Royal Western Turf Club, offering foodies the chance to eat and buy quaint regional dishes from across the country, and outside. The organisers 70EMG are promising to have you try red-ant chutney from Chhatisgarh, gur gur chai from Ladakh, momos from three different cultures (Tibetan, Ladakhi and Naga) and Odiya temple food. Local brews, hunger games, a kids zone and music, what more can you ask for on a weekend?

And since Sunday mid-day is media partner at X Food, there's some interesting reading on offer too. Head to the Food Coma zone, and relax at the Sunday mid-day lounge with a copy of the day's edition to stay updated about all that's unfolding in Mumbai while you chill.
