Preity Strawberry Ice Cream

It is pink and so Preity. She may be Botoxed, but she always manages to look morning fresh. Bubbly and full of life, the owner of IPL’s Punjab team can be an instant pick-me-up, much like a bowl of the gooey strawberry ice cream that can do wonders for your mood when you are feeling down and out. She may not be sizzling hot, but Ness Wadia’s beau — and Yuvraj’s jadoo ki jhappiwali maalkin — has a certain girlie charm, deep dimples and all. And the mischievous glint in her eyes is like the tingle of the strawberry that can catch you unawares.

SRK Grilled Chicken Sandwich

He is bubbling with energy, any time of day or night. Much like the Grilled Chicken Sandwich that can fill you up with a burst of instant energy any time of day or night. And just like a mouthful of Grilled Chicken Sandwich anytime, a li’ bit of Shah Rukh Khan anytime — as actor or television host or 12th man — can do a whole lot of good to your health. And there is the common all-reasons-all-seasons bond between the two. “I can guarantee that no chef can make a menu without Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Similarly, Shah Rukh is a man for all seasons,” says Sujan Mukherjee, executive chef, Taj Bengal.

Bips Chilli Chicken

She is spicy, she is edible and she is a Ballygunge babe. Bipasha Basu grew up in the land of Chilli Chicken and then became the spice of Bollywood. This Bong bombshell has been red-hot with a capital R, from Jism to Omkara, Dhoom:2 to Race. And as if the way she looks wasn’t chilli enough, there are those careless whispers about her dribbles with Ronaldo, roll in the hay with Saif and…. Plus, many find her going steady with hunk John Abraham hot.

Ash Cold Salad

She is beautiful but boring, happening but not hot, stylish but not sexy. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is like the perfectly prepared Cold Salad. Just what the doctor ordered but oh-so-thanda. Like the Cold Salad, the Bachchan bahu lacks spontaneity and spice and holds out no surprises (at least not for we the viewers). And just like the Cold Salad, Ash knows no boundaries — she slips effortlessly into the movie menus of Bollywood, Tollywood and Hollywood.

Saif Sushi with Wasabi

Suave, sophisticated and appealing to the discerning. Both this Japanese delicacy and Chhote Nawab. Also, just like one needs to prepare sushi very carefully, one needs to handle this star son with utmost care too. Ask Kareena! And despite his cool dude demeanour, Saif has an edge to him. Like he is waiting to explode — on screen and off it. Just like the wasabi can explode in your mouth. Ask Rosa!

Sourav Smoked Hilsa

Dada may like Chicken Biryani the best, but a platter of Smoked Hilsa seems a better brand fit. It is quintessentially Bengali, very stylish, and you either love it or hate it. Sourav Ganguly too is a Behala boy to the core, the most stylish left-hander after David Gower and draws extreme reactions from friends and foes. “He is very elegant just like the smoked hilsa is delicious. But you have to develop a taste for him,” observes Sujan Mukherjee of Taj Bengal, which regularly hosts Maharaj.
