Today they take their hands out and reach for the phone. And tweet. “Now even the Bengali man can use his hands toshow his rage” she said.
It was close to 1 pm but in my book, the first meal of the day, whatever time it is, is breakfast. After three great weekend waffle and coffee breakfasts, and an evening Bahout Berry shake chat, Mocha Moja seemed an obvious choice for breakfast.
They didn’t have a simple Mocha at Mocha! The chocolate infused cappuccino of coffee shops. The uncharacteristically limp cappuccino that followed. A weak ‘morning after’ after the robust cappuccino last evening at the Bandra Reclamation Barista. The over-sweet, barely visible chocolate chip, cookie. None of this made for a good start to the day.
Hash omelet followed. And crisp, hard French Fries.
The omelet was stuffed with mashed potatoes, herbs and again barely visible bits of salami. A nice hearty feel but completely lacking in salt. Not that they asked for our BP reports while taking the order.
Our BP did go up thanks to the ciabatta bread slices that came with the egg. Toasted to biscuit-like consistency. It was inedible and K wanted fresh soft bread. Repeated pleas which went from polite requests to angry outbursts, two waiters, expressions of intent to pay for the extra bread, twenty minutes of teeth gnashing finally got us a plate of ciabatta slices at Rs 80 extra. This batch was softer, toasted again and frankly would have been appropriate at a prison perhaps where survival is the key.
Well after three days of being AWOL, Bunkin Banu is back. I am looking forward to some bhaat, bhaaja moonger daaal, alu bhaaja and begun bhaaja to comfort me after the disastrous breakfast.
Perhaps I should have skipped the coffee and gone for the wine and alcohol list that they were trying to push us at Mocha Mojo. Pity it was breakfast.
But I will be back. For the waffles.
The food at Mocha Mojo was disappointing today as was their cold reaction to our obvious discomfiture. They included a ten pc service charge to their bill and K tipped over that.
Tthere was a ten pc service charge at our dinner at Bungalow 9 the other day. The service was really good there. I didn’t top it. The amount was large enough. I threw up the topic for discussion on the Finely Chopped Facebook page. This is what followed. Would love to hear your take?

Would you tip over and above a 10 pc service charge added to the bill?
