Look who’s turned a year older! Posted on November 30, 2004 He quit the corporate world to start his own restaurant He is famous for his sarcasm and scepticism He is known to prefer the company of monkeys! I guess you know who I’m talking about by now. A very very happy birthday to the guy we all know as Madman and who introduced me and my sister to fine South East Asian cuisine with a wonderful home-cooked meal last year! Do hope Shiok grows from strength to strength and more and more Bangaloreans (and beyond) discover the art of fine dining… Do hope you grow crankier as the years go by! And do hope you get most of the stuff on your wish list, including your BMW 🙂 Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Living
Of chance meetings Posted on October 30, 2005October 30, 2005 I thought my time in Paris would be spent alone. Not that I had any problems.

I especially loved the Louvre (where my head started spinning after a few hours) and the Moulin Rouge, the Basilica of Sacre Coeur and that whole bargain shopping stretch at Montmarte.

Tasty Thai @ Saigon Posted on May 25, 2007May 25, 2007 When I read this review on Bangalore Metblogs, I couldn’t resist the temptation to go and check out the food myself. So along with Charles & Debbie (who were game to visit again!), Aqua and hubby, my sister and blogger Sathish K, we had a nice and lovely long meal… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Weekend @ Mahabalipuram Posted on August 28, 2006September 1, 2006 Boats going out to sea early morning… Sunrise at Mahabalipuram So a friend and I drove off to Mahabalipuram last weekend. It was a nice scenic drive via NH4. We started off at 5 am in the morning (after sleeping at midnight, such good children we are). It took us… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
He is known to prefer the company of monkeys! I object! It was a chimpanzee, not a monkey! But thank you so much for the rest. :)) Reply
