YaKun Singapore

To complete your Singapore experience , you must have Kaya Toast and Kopi at one of the many YaKun Kaya outlets.

Breakfast there should be the preferred option, but you could time it for whenever and the best thing is the quality is consistent at all of its outlets.

I personally find the Faber Point and the China Street outlet better ,the Changi airport outlet though good can get very crowded and you may find the service a tad slow. Some say the China Street is the original and the family still runs it.

So what makes this Singapore Kopi (coffee) something that the locals keep coming back.

You check it out!

Wait ! Ya Kun Opening Soon in India -2013.

Urban Tadka, R City Mall, Ghatkopar

Drop in Urban Tadka ,R City Mall for a quick drink and meal before the movie.

In the Happy Hours period between 15.30 -20.00 hrs get a 1 for 1 drink on selected IMFL and Beer.

Ambience provides a good mood to enjoy with friends and family.

Food is tasty , some of the dishes take a little more time and be prepared to get interrupted by some noisy groups celebrating special occassions.

Enjoy the experience!

MumbaiFirst

South Mumbai has two personalities..Daytime Mumbai is hurried and worried.

Nighttime Mumbai is calm, relaxed and pleasant.

Sometimes it is difficult to imagine it is the same city during day and night.

After 7pm walk on the marine drive queens necklace and start discovering mumbai. the endless chanawallas, bhelwalas and makkawallas show their art of surviving. you try to ignore them first, then later pickup something or the other. sit on the periphery with your legs dangling on the seaside and you enjoy the cool breeze , think what a relaxing city this is.

slowly the people start melting away and you hop on to the best bus and go to colaba.

leopold, mondy catch your fancy. you checkout the place, the people inside and walk around the building..reach baghdadi and then you see Bademiya.

you decide to sit in the place opposit the cart and order kebabs , baidaroti through the extremely busy order taker..merciffuly the order comes fast as it is just 8.30 and the place is still manageably filled.

You like this Mumbai, not hurried, just relaxed. Take the bus to Churchagte station and then see the Borivali fast local train is already packed.

UK Gatepass?

Visitors from ‘high risk’ nations may be asked for deposits of £1,000 or more shortly.

Foreigners visiting Britain from certain countries will have to put up “security bonds” costing thousands of pounds to deter them from overstaying their visas, under new proposals.

Deputy Prime Minister announced plans to bring in the Australian-style deposits for visitors from “high risk” countries, to be repaid when they leave the UK.

The list of such nations has not yet been drawn.
