Shuxian, the Chinese intern, who is also my roommate, and I have been planning to eat at this place called Cafe Mojo, located a few feet from the school where I teach. So last night we planned it out and also took it as a good opportunity to meet the two new interns from the Czech Republic.
I wasn't able to take any photos but anyway, the cafe is situated on the second floor of a building where Gold's Gym Lucknow is, haha! Too bad I didn't bring my Gold's Gym membership ID from the Philippines, I didn't know I'd be working near one! The place is nice and has a cozy feel to it, with low tables surrounded by round couches of pastel gray colors, with a hookah on each table. The menu consisted of categories like "Fast Food" (weird category name, huh?), "Indian", "Italian" (where we found these two dishes falling under that category called 'Normal pizza' and 'Italian pizza'), and finally "Chinese".
Actually, someone from AIESEC recommended that we eat there, but I forgot to ask him for any recommendations. :| Our conversation went like this as we were passing by the building on the way home from work:
"That restaurant over there," I pointed, "Mojo's? Have you tried eating there yet?" And he answered, "Yeah, I have, and the food there is really great," as he emphasized the first syllable in 'really'. And being new to Hindi, I tried practicing one of the words that they've taught me so I said, "Really, like chokas?" with 'chokas' meaning 'awesome'? And he replied, "Actually, more than chokas!"
I think during that small talk, he was referring to the Indian food of Mojo's, because I ordered something from the Italian menu, and now, it turned into one of my biggest regrets when it comes to ordering food at a restaurant. Wrong moooove! Lesson learned today? Well, ever since I got here in Lucknow, I will never ever order foreign dishes again, and get Indian food instead. Tsk.
The good thing though is that I now have a reason to eat again at another restaurant here. :) which is totally chokas! I'd love to taste more Indian food! :3
