This and that

Well the year has been whizzing by. I find myself short of time to do all the things I want or need to do. So, there's not much time for blogging. But I've decided I'll blog at least once a month, so here goes.

Restaurants

New Restaurants tried include The Union Bar and Grill (below the Hilton Residence), The Lagoon, at Cinnamon Grand and Ginza Hohsen,a Japanese restaurant located in the Hilton Hotel.

Ginza Hohsen: Not being a great fan of Japanese food, I was blown away by how good everything was at Ginza Hohsen. The set up was lovely, typical Japanese with a lovely view of the Japanese garden outside. One can watch the cooks in action, something I always enjoy. The food was wholesome, large portions and delicious. I'd love to go back even though it's pricey. Meal for 2.5 persons with just mineral water and no dessert went over Rs 5000.

The Union Bar and Grill: Overall, disappointing, though the prices are a nice range from reasonable to high. Didn't like the quality of cheese they used in their dishes . Service was good though.

The Lagoon: A nice seafood restaurant. You can order fresh fish and decide how you want it cooked. Watching the cooks in action adds to the ambience of the place. Pricey, but overall, worth it.
