Gas cylinder price increased by Rs. 11.42

Another worst news for householders that Cooking gas (LPG) cylinder price is increase by Rs 11.42. This price hike is the government decision to increase the commission to the dealers.  Before this the cost of non - subsidised LPG was costing around 883.5 which will now touch Rs. 900.

Government also decided last month to restrict the supply of LPG cylinders to 6  per house hold in a year.

Rs. 11.42 is trending on twitter because of these reason. I am sure that this will be affecting Indians very negatively since the prices of almost everything is increasing in India day by day.

My review on 5 Spice Hotel

After the Ramadan Festival and Eid, we decided to go for a dinner party with our friends and most of them agreed on 5 spice or Spice 5 which got newly opened in Mahim. Previously there was a restaurant called Gentlemen which used to serve Mughlai food and after that a furniture showroom. I am not a review master who can provide you with a complete taste but to judge it this is enough on a high level

Our group got happy when we heard that spice 5 is opening at Mahim since we used to have our office lunch at its Goregoan or Bandra branch.

Environment

Soothing and Silent apart from that noise of your spoon or forks on the plate.

Food

We ordered crispy chicken as a starter where I found the taste was similar to Jaffer Bhai – Delhi Darbar and Persian Darbar Bandra. Further moving on we tried some Prawns chilly one word simply – Awesome. For main course we ordered Fu chi Rice since it is one of my favorite dishes with gravy on a white plain rice, Moving on we decided to have something in noodles and we ordered Chicken ginger Garlic Noodles and Mongolian Lamb.

We didn’t ordered the dessert since we think to have some other sweet dishes from some other place but some of the recommended desserts are – Mission Impossible & Blueberry cheese cake

Must recommended for every one
