The store was offline since yesterday and I was wondering what’s up. Then I saw this news article today.
It says “The FDA also suspended the food licence of Zepto Limited in Chembur. The action followed observations relating to ventilation, hygiene, chilled and frozen food storage temperatures, pest control and other food-safety requirements.”
I loved my experience - 5/5 food . This is a rating I don’t give easily.
I had exotic mushroom and sichuan dimsums (pictured above) - they were banging!!! 5/5
Chicken Xiaolongbao - again 5/5 - no notes, the perfect juicy dimsum!
The crispy noodles were good and saucy - but a bit too sweet - 3.5 /5
The 9 sauce platter was amazing!!!
For the three things our bill was around 2200 rs. They don’t charge service charge.
I’m so glad it’s not a try hard restaurant trying to do 100 things. Whatever they are doing is done to perfection and the food takes time to come to your table!!!
I can’t wait to return! (Which is not what I say about other places!)
I came across this content creator while scrolling through reels. She wears shorts and dresses where as her bhabhis are in poshaks. Every single commment under these videos is asking her for a justification!
Which is rare in India! She has 20k followers and is still continuing to post and not respond to comments!
Let’s make her famous! Patriarchy stops here!
We just got back from an 8 day trip to Korea and I would love to share some instances of Korean folks just being amazing to us!!!
On our first day for our first meal - we went to fried chicken chain - bbq chicken . A Korean couple seated next to us , saw we were confused and told us what they liked to order !! They asked us where we were from and when they left, came to say bye too. (And smiled so much at us throughout!!!) We had just landed after a gruelling 24 hours and I can tell you we were just so happy and giddy to be there!!
On our second day in Hongdae - we found a very local chicken shop (we don’t eat beef or pork) - where even the menu was in Korean! The two ladies went out of their way to help us, kept coming to our table and asking if we wanted refills and generally smiled at us so much!
We stayed at Yaksu - which is not a touristy area at all - and let me tell me tell you , atleast three times when we looked confused at bus stops and subway stations, someone would appear out of the blue and asked if we needed help. Sometimes they didn’t even speak English and just used a translator!
We were at lotte mart - trying to buy soju and got overwhelmed at the options. We were just googling the differences - when a random old only stopped by, asked us some questions and told us all we needed to know in perfect English !
I’m not sure if we got lucky, or what - but honestly I’ve never had a better experience with locals anywhere else in the world! Everyone was so nice and humble and just genuinely curious.
We had a 7/11 near our place, the owner (old uncle) sat there everyday and everyday he would ask me about our day and what we had planned. He was so happy to know. He would give us small tips too! He spoke broken English but he was just the sweetest.
Overall , we can’t wait to return! We went in the end of May and can’t wait to return back!
I’m looking at the weather in Seoul and it says that day temperatures are around 25-28 degrees
I land on Saturday - pls help a girl out who feels very cold - should I pack for winter or summer?!
Shorts or no shorts? How many jackets is too many?
May I also understand - how is the Seoul garden festival and rose festival? Has anyone been?
Will things be closed for Buddha’s birthday? Should we do anything special / visit any place for buddhas birthday ?
