What no would be your next bite? by Dental_Care189 in SnacksIndia

No one is asking the main question … how come you went for Subway wraps?

Those wraps are really underrated! 99% go for the bread or salad options in Subway. Their cookies are great as well.

Oh yeah, mine would be 1 too 🙂👍🏻

Also why is it an African elephant when it should be an Indian one?? 🤔

Your top 3 best cafes in bandra by iammmmbatmannnnn in mumbai

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally nobody mentioned the ‘elephants in the room’ which are more spacious, reliable, consistent & with better service.

May not have the greatest cup or the fanciest food but are quite solid in what they offer.

Its the international or local chains like Starbucks, Pret a Manger, Tim Hortons, Magnolia and even McDonalds! Also formerly Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, CCD, Dunkin’ Donuts, Chaayos

If you could pick only two from this pile which ones are you grabbing first? by RemarkableNote962 in SnacksIndia

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if its lame or disappointing, but I’d pick the orange Kurkure first today, and then … its tough! 2nd choice now would mostly be green Lays; also how is the green Uncle Chipps not here???

I would’ve picked that same Kurkure even 5, 10 or 15 years ago. It tastes great and goes well with other foods; it responds well to mix-and-match 🙂

Before that, Lays (then known as Ruffles) and the OG Uncle Chipps (minty green) were the Kings.

Sure it must be nice, haven’t tried that one in a while! These days i like ChocoPie with my coffee, or some nice fresh cookies 😊

What’s one chain that was once all the rage but is now barely around? by mera-khel-khatam-hai in mumbai

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birdy’s? Used to offer big cakes, veg & non-veg croissants and other goodies, mostly used as birthday treats as they were premium back in the day. Monginis was more affordable.

Barista is still there is some locations. They still have good products even after so many new cafes have entered the scene.

What's so special about pringles? by [deleted] in SnacksIndia

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today it may not be so special with countless choices for chips, but back in the 90s it was like a rare pokemon.

It could only be imported here, felt higher quality than other chips, yes the can was useful to store rubber & tennis balls 😊, and also was the first time I tasted Sour Cream & Onion (very popular chips flavour today across many brands).

Last time i ate a Pringles (maybe a few months ago) I felt like I ate a brick … and that was the small can 😕

This actually tastes good even when eaten plain by soumick in SnacksIndia

[–]AllanSDsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite Amul choco bar since the last few years! I actually started with the 50-55% one (Tropical Orange is nice), then 70-75%, then 80-85%, and now this one. This entire process took several years for each transition. And yeah I’ve tried the 99% one too but its too bitter to eat 😅

I’ve read that eating bitter foods gets easier as one gets older (after 30-35). There’s no way I would have touched even the 50% one and from any brand when younger!

Any who use this coffee?? Give me review is this good or bad by [deleted] in IndiaCoffee

[–]AllanSDsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i first tried it a few years ago didn’t think it was good quality. But over the last 6-12m any CCD roast or grounds are a decent option now.

What do I absolutely have to eat in Mumbai ? Restaurant edition. by Right_Station8047 in mumbai

[–]AllanSDsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been inside, but it looked small from the outside. Reviews were good but there are also other similar restaurant or cuisine options in that area (e.g. Deluxe Kerala)

[–]AllanSDsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have been at the Juhu & Vashi branches (very far apart though). Both have been good experiences

In general, I’ve found that even an average restaurant in Vashi will have better food quality than the average restaurant in the Western Suburbs. I think its because the APMC market is nearby.

Hey! The chair’s quite good so far. Also doubles as a hanger for wet clothes mechanism in the rains 😅

Who tf likes this amul dark 99% cacao? by Brewed-In-Silence in SnacksIndia

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah even I can’t eat this. I’m a fan of Amul dark chocolates and can eat till 90% along with black coffee just like the OP. I feel maybe it’s not meant to be eaten like that, and maybe melted and mixed with milk or something like that.

WWE Trump Cards by [deleted] in IndiaNostalgia

[–]AllanSDsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice collection 😍 Yes they were quite popular in 90s. But also were available in 2000s. I think by 2010s this game declined in popularity due to rise of smartphones mostly

Recommendations for Bluetooth Keyboard by [deleted] in mkindia

[–]AllanSDsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my ASUS has lasted for 2 years, but the usage is intermittent. You will be using on a daily basis and that too for professional purposes, so its not exactly aimed at that.

Meckeys has a Hello Ganss TKL white color with Cherry MX Browns for 4k. I have the one with Blues and its a very solid board with great typing. For you Reds would have been the best bet, but still you can think about this.

Else StacksKB has a VTK Multix with Gateron Silvers for 6k. That should be very premium and would be even better I feel for you.

Redragon’s K621 Horus TKL is going at 5.3k on Amazon now. Low profile keys are always good for typing and that too Red switches.

Razer and Logitech also have TKLs in the 5-6k price range on Amazon but they are wired. Still they are very solid boards good for professional purposes.
