Pecos

S&O heard of Pecos great many times. Registered the ravings and rantings of this beer brewing, free pop corn serving, Jazz slash Rock fans magnet where the great fans in India gather each time they rush to Bangalore to attend a concert by an international band.

We went there to enjoy the glory of this place, even though we were taken aback for a second by it's location, tucked away on one of the Brigade road crosses, in the busiest shopping areas in Bangalore. Speakers were happy to emit Classic Rock-roll music as we admired the interiors of Pecos which is considered an institution in the city's rock circuit. Die-hard loyalists swore to S&O of its food and in-house brewed beer. We regained our spirits, were happy even being in the calming old crudity.

Being an old creaky building only adds to the whole effect of RETRO which is further enhanced by the huge blow-ups of legendary musicians, and their concerts. S&O was told that the place is packed, be it a working day, or Week-ends. Such popularity for an ancient joint, tape playing, non hard liquor serving exclusively catering classic rock fans; This Pecos that sounds like something to eat rather than a place to hang-out in amazes us.

S&O considers BEER+POPCORN served here a touch of spontaneous authenticity. We enjoyed the food here with it's decent inexpensive options ranging from Kerala to continental cuisine.  We recommend Italian menu and along with an advice to take a Rickshaw to get here, as finding parking on brigade road can be tricky.

Enjoy your beer while the legends on the walls watch over you.

CHUNG'S Chinese corner

When the clock strikes "Lunch O clock in India, the rats camping in the hungry bellies of employed groups start to riot  for feed which is ABUNDANT, CHEAP in price and ACCESSIBLE distance from work, Chinese restaurants occur as an answer most times, more so if it is as inviting as Chung's with it's scarlet lantern-y authentic chinese allure. 

Maharshi; a dear friend of S&O works in a building right opposite Chung's in Bangalore. While talking to S&O he mentioned that he frequents this joint when he is in a hurry yet wants a sumptuously delicious meal. We wanted to enjoy the lunch experience with a hard selling competitive employee like him, who lives in an early anglicized city that believes in Jazz and blues, which is in constant growth with flow of native immigrants amassing to work in the clusters of initial Techno-poles in India. 

S&O entered CHUNG'S Chinese corner with dear Masha in tow, enjoyed a brilliant meal reflecting on the brilliance of the small scale entrepreneurial-ship skills of chinese restaurants, where the food is first loved in the kitchen before being served chinese tea inclusive. Always at an affordable price and most times offering a good competition in service to fast food joints. 

CHUNG'S has a potential to be better, if the staff can be a little more hospitable to the hungry clientele, and clean the table cloths before hand instead of dusting them off on our feet. However it definitely falls into a category of restaurants that has the ability to make "REGULARS". 

A happy man awaits his meal

Strategically placed; with easy parking facilities.  In spite of bearing corner in it's name CHUNG's is spacious to not feel claustrophobic, and the mezzanine can be exclusive for the ones desiring to dine in a big numbered private group. 

S&O recommends Dragon chicken chop suey crisp; while S&O's friend recommends Koithio (Malaysian Noodles) and all the rest on their menu, saving crabs, lobsters and prawns. 

再见
