Mojos-Muzic-Mayhem

My holidays are on (semester break) and I was getting quite tiresome and irritable sitting and wallowing at home all the time. After a few pestering msgs and SOS calls to bring some life into my otherwise-not-so-boring-life, four of my friends decided to meet up and spend some quality time and do some much needed girl bonding.

We decided to meet at the Dubai Plaza beside the very famous Brigade Road in Bangalore and have lunch at ‘The Taste of Tibet’ where you can get some delicious momos. At 1:00 pm we decided to meet and as many of you know women, we meet up only at 2 (we have it in our DNA to be compulsively late!)
P.S. There’s also Bangalore traffic and the metro rail project on MG Road to be blamed.

Anyhoo... walking down the road we passed by Pecos. Where is Pecos you ask...? If you are a Bangalorean its complete blasphemy. The rest can be let off... if you are the types who likes dark, smoke-filled interiors with cat stevens or some odd Bob Marley crooning at the back and huge posters/murals of rock/jazz legends up your face, with a mug of beer and some food- I assure you this is the place to be. The chilly beef and chilly pork are great here. So are the tacos! Pecos is heaven for beer guzzlers. They only serve Kingfisher draught beer here I’m guessing. And you get a decent plate of popcorn (free!) with your beer. This place is for the unmannered and the undone. You can go guzzling and singing here.

Pecos has sort of a cult following, no wonder there was a motley crowd waiting outside. Suddenly the craving for some good music crawled into our systems. We decided to give the china men (momos) a run and head to Pecos. But we had to wait (cause of the aforementioned motley crowd) The hunger pangs began to paw their way to our brains! So we deiced to go to Mojos- the sister of Pecos which is just down the road.

Mojo’s is fairly large and has a decent seating- low lying tables and chairs and cushions on the floor type thingys. The India-Pakistan match was on, so if there’s a match you can come here and cheer Indian on as well.

The food is great too. The pork dishes - bacon tawa fry, the sausages, the pork tacos, anything actually is absolutely scrumptious! All the curry-dosa combos are good too. The menu is pretty extensive, but off all the choices I lavvee the grilled fish.

We ordered a plate of pork chilly to go along with our ghee rice combo. Yummmm is all that I can say. The prices in Mojo’s is a tad too expensive than Pecos though. Probably Mojos is for the more hip crowd am guessing. The music is almost the same here as Pecos.They play all kinds of rock here, but lean to a touch more popular taste than Pecos, but definitely not as poppish as Stones, which is the 3rd outlet in the "chain" ( which happens to be some people (NG’s) favourite hangout apparently...

So with the Doors playing in the background we were having quite a good time catching up with each others lives and clicking pictures.
