Radio Bar
Bandra gets a new
bar – The Radio Bar. Decorated with old school radios, jukeboxes and cassettes,
this new hip bar is the latest edition to Linking road alongside the likes of The
Daily
The place has some
quirks – a wall full of old radios almost telling you a story of the genesis of
this machine; a basement where you have a corner for live band performances
and another wall, this time full of cassettes. Do you remember those rectangles
with two holes in the middle and a thin black tape running inside it? Most of
you would not even have been born at the time when these things were a craze
This place is almost
like a museum for audio systems!
The drinks were
interesting I had the Mojito and Radio Special Cocktail. Quite
nice but the food needs some definite working!
Mamagoto
Meanwhile Mamagoto,
the fun Asian place gets an all new dumpling menu! “We were being questioned”
said a spokesperson, “How can you be an Asian restaurant and not have a
dumpling menu? So Voila”
The restaurant turns
5 this month as well and is on an expansion spree. Sources say that after
Delhi, Mumbai & Bangalore they are headed to Pune
I first tried the Mango Cocktail - the hint of vanilla and subtle flavour of mango just make this cocktail right to beat the heat this season. Mamagoto infuses their own cocktails
 |
| Prawn Crackers |
Prawn crackers - beautiful things come in crunchy! I could eat this all along!
 |
| Chinese Chicken Puff |
The Chinese Chicken Puff - was horrible, you rather eat this at Hersh! They are the best
 |
| Gyoza |
 |
| Street Style Dumpling |
The Street Style Spicy Dumpling was nice, silky and melt in the mouth and so was the Old school Gyoza
 |
| Tokyo Metro Mantau |
The Tokyo Metro Mantau again needed some working. It just tasted like a limp burger
 |
| Porky Apple Mantau |
The Porky Apple Mantau Makeover was sweet as hell. It might as well be on the dessert
menu
Muse Tip: Drinking
plan with office colleagues head to Radio Bar and then hop into Mamagoto to eat
yummy dimsums and fight the hangover!
