Luncheon At Edo – The Obento Experience

One of my favourite restaurants in Bangalore and probably the only place I turn to for Japanese food is now open for lunch. Hurray ! Time to celebrate with the Obento Experience.

A little more than a month and a half ago I was … [Read more...]

The thought that I had to actually light fire to the … [Read more...]
