Out and About in Bangalore




We went out for dinner last night at UB City which is just around the block from us. Even though it was still raining on and off Mike thought we should walk so that I would get my bearings. Going there was interesting walking down along the back fence of Vittal Mallya's place. He owns United and Kingfisher Breweries and Kingfisher Airlines. Could not see much of his house except for some rather nice large trees and his office tower in the distance. Also no child labour was permitted there. That was a relief!


We had Italian at Toscano's Restaurant where Mike introduced me to all the staff that he has met over the last couple of months. I have to say the Salad Caprese was so beautifully presented and tasted so fresh and delicious - almost as good as the no longer existent Zepharelli's in Pyrmont Sydney. Oh! and the cappuchino brulee was to die for!


We browsed through some of the shops including the Lladro shop, Stella McCartney's and a fabulous local Indian designer shop called Kimaya. Mike thought we should walk the shorter way back along Lavelle Rd. This, however, was a mistake as the installation of new cabling had turned the road into a sticky mud bath. Needless to say I will take the longer route today when I return to have another and closer look around UB City.
