This is my first visit to Mumbai or even to India, what surprise me the most is the road quality. I wonder how they can drive on the road with slumps and hole everywhere, being one of the fastest-growing countries and societies, I doubt the progress of development and their government approach in reshaping the country.But you know what... somehow, I enjoy traveling on the roads like these, enjoy seeing the life surrounding, enjoy being part of the crowd and even looking forward to walk down the street by myself (I'm sitting in cab all the time). It's Ganesha festival and therefore a lot of dancing and singing actions on the road at night (while sending the idols to be immersed into sea), but I didn't capture any nice photos.
I usually avoid spicy stuffs but my lunch and dinner in these few days are really delicious. Some of the common dishes like Chicken Masala, Nasi Briyani, I thought should be similar but turned out the combination of spices really surprise me.
I can't name all of them except Chapati and Briyani. I had the Briyani rice (more food but I'm busy eating...) at one of the pub in Powai area and it's so good. The only thing that I'm not so enjoy is the dessert they serve.
They serve this little white dessert after lunch, which come in different shape everyday. Its main ingredient is milk. I like milk but they've added some leaves with strong smells until cover the original flavour of fresh milk.
My last Mumbai's meal before fly back to Malaysia, finally I know the price, Rs. 130 for the chicken burger and Rs. 50 for the coke. This ends my short trip to Mumbai but I hope to visit again, as a tourist maybe next time.

So little around us to make us thankful of how much we have on us.
Does that mean local indian food failed to replicates the orig. taste?
Btw, that coke is really pricey.

yeah ur stomach can tolerate all the food? my dad suffered from diarrhea everyday during his previous trip
meiyen : you are right! it's "ulu" enough, if it's safe and i try to be a bit adventurous, i think it's quite fun walking down the street like this :-)
wmw : will be more respect to what we have now (especially food).
wk : i think the conclusion, yes, or maybe all the chefs prefer to stay there ;-)

All I know abt Mumbai is don't take any local water - seems my friend said must wash face with mineral water also or else can get pimples. The food does look good though esp the milk dessert.
danny and jackie : thanks!
