Sunday afternoon. They watch a movie on a nostalgic theatre named Globe and then go out for bar hopping in the in the Esplanade area.
Chung Wah came as the third and probably the last bar in the chronological order. Located in Chittaranjan Avenue, this placed rocked in the decade of 50’s and 60’s. Armed with two ageing Anglo-Indian musician at the entrance, Chung Wah would always greet you with a classic western number.
But hey, this is four-decade later, so no strumming guitar and mandolin, not even a stoutly built security person passing you a royal salute, well it’s only you and your “push-hard” ability that would enable you to get pass the massive door, and get into the bar.
Chung Wah is suffocating and the liquor costs more here. In same price, you can get same liquor with better ambience and service in Pune. Ambience got the good-old touch of the British Raaj days. I felt it’s ideal for the oldies and their families; hmmm very nostalgic.
Food is very good, alright. The mixed fried rice was awesome in taste; comes with lotta quantity of chicken, prawns, eggs, and pork (optional). With 4 bottles of Kingfisher strong, I thought I couldn’t do much justice with the food. But the food rocks!
