Everyday Food I Love

Everyday Food I Love returns to GinRikSha after a short hiatus! On our last visit, we were impressed by the new ambience of the place as well as their focus on fusion Indian flavors. They also have a super-talented lady behind the bar who makes all these amazing cocktails that have tongues in Bukit Damansara wagging. We therefore came with higher than usual expectations and for me, I am glad to say that it was simply amazing. Readers who would like to know more from our last visit  can read about it at the link  here .
