On Saturday evening, as part of Meera’s B’day itinerary, we attended a vintage car rally at Khalaghoda. We saw the most regal looking Buicks and the cutest looking Beetles, all beaming in a row. Suddenly a miniature vinatge car appeared out of nowhere with an able-looking 4-year-old manning the steering wheel. An elderly man barged onto the scene demanding to see her license. She ignored him and went about her business, as usual.
The next part of the plan: we visited the TIFR colony — all for the love of pizza. Though a breath-taking colony equipped with lawns, patios, trees and buildings with long, spacious aisles, the place had a desolatory air of sadness about it.
We had dinner at Sizzling China, a cosy little Chinese (but of course) joint in Colaba and we abstained from chicken. We had lots of Chinese seafood dishes, which were pretty alright.
But the icing on the cake was a dessert we had at this place called Theobrama — vodka and chilly cheesecake. I’ve been there about three times and everything I had was in Simon Walker’s very own words – forgettable.
However this one was a real find — it had a creamy texture and a sweet-spicy flavour. Now every morsel of THAT was divine.

Hmm haven’t thought about that much but yeah there’s a sense of “formalness” I feel about the place now. Not the same as earlier when there was less security, less buildings and lots of kids (including me) playing around. I think it was a much more lively and friendly place back then.
Hey I need to mention that the pricing at Sizzling China was fantastic. A meal for 9 with appetisers, soup and main course amounted to about Rs 1,750. Plua the place is air-conditioned. So there.
