Hard Rock Cafe - Mumbai

Yes it is open n running since this month ... People never knew when it opened , shut down n then reopened...

So tucked away in Worli near Kamala Mills Studio , its a swanky place n quite large. The traditional ( ive seen a couple of HRC's in this world :P ) dimly lit place , memorabilia of artists and good old rock n roll music in the background makes it a nice place to have a drink or just for some nostalgia catching up with mates.

The food is alright ... well im Vegetarian so its the same everywhere :D
Non veg as suggested by my friends is good ... very good infact , the platter is a definite order for all u non vegs
The drinks are quite nice with lots of cocktails n unique combinations to have you tripping hippy style ... thank god the price is steep enuff for you to realise this is not the place to OD :P ... Quite an expensive place ... well comes with the brand name.
The classic choclate cake is a must too

The rock shop is loaded with HRC custom teeshirts & some other stuff like caps etc ... good quality merchandise

All in all , nice place to go to ... I have to say its better than the ones i have been to singapore , malaysia n thailand ... simply because the music played was nice & it didnt feel cramped ... its seriouslly big

2 complaints, far off for suburb people & I saw all the page 3 like crowd in there ... no sense of where you are & what the place is all about ... Kya hoga is great desh ke wasiyon ka :D

Stuff that made me Laugh this week

1. Something on TV about Gandhism v/s Gen X ...
Dehati TV channels dont know that Gen Y already began some years back ROFL

2. Strike in Mumbai from monday of petrol pumps by their owners ... massive lines of cars outside the pumps by sunday evening time ... petrol over before the strike began in some pumps ROFL

3. Overheard in BEST Bus :
Person 1 : Kya ho gaya is city ko pata nahi ...
Person 2 : Kyu hua
Person 1: Bola na , pata nahin

LOL .... ROFL

4 ) Me : Ek cutting chai please ...
Chai Wala : Kya Sir , aaj ke time mai cutting se humara kya hoga ... pura hi bechta hoon abhi ... Intelligent Businessman n funny ROFL

5) Me to a friend : U know a woman was robbed in one of the mall's loo recently by another woman on knife point...
She : Fuck ... Now we need security in there too ... talk about No Privacy

ROFL END

Place Called Mangi Ferra

I had heard so much of this eating joint that i had to go to check it out. A special occasion demanded such a visit finally wanted to see what the fuss is all about.
Its close to reliance world, juhu circle ... 7th cross road

Its a high end Italian joint. No Sopranos like people but the place is packed with people like they are distributing free food,Indians love to eat in style. The ambience of the place is great... Thankfully , i had the reservations done so got the table in no time. Bob dylan's music was on so it was perfect in many ways :). We ordered a Carribian cooler for my friend which i selfishly drank half cause it was that good... Never offer a drink to your friend if its good :P

The main course list is pretty big & very expensive . The pastas are around 200 /250 & the pizzaz upwords of 300... I hoped the quality justified the hole drilling in the wallet ... Ordered a Lasange first ... too good. Ive never been to Italy so that was the best Lasagne i have ever had. Then we ordered the Napolante somethin pizza. The pizza was as thin as my heart at that moment ... 35o bucks for a 1/2 cm thick pizza... oh wait , thats how thin authentic pizzaz really are. But the thing made up for the taste.
The quality is top notch but the quantity was nothing much to speak of ... all in all , its a place for those special occasions only ... 8/10

... Half filled we went to Barista for good old choclate excess & dark temptation [ usual suspects for pampering :D ]
