What: Jjamppong, 223, Rajbhavan Road, Walkeshwar, call 65354444/6666, Rs 900 for a meal for two, home delivery in the area on orders over Rs 400.

Why: We’re wondering how to keep you from scuttling away after we say, “small vegetarian Asian eatery at Walkeshwar”. How’s this: A new box-like restaurant with wooden benches, lychee fried wantons, jaggery-sprinkled spring rolls and The Killers’ Mr Brightside on queue. Run by a very amiable Siddharth Kashyap (previously worked with China House, Grand Hyatt), Jjamppong’s kitchen features interesting oriental dishes re-imagined with fruit like plums, lychees and raw bananas. Get the Jjamppong soup, fruit wantons and star anise surprise. Full review out on Monday.

When: You want to land a plum job.

What: Gourmet high fibre breakfast muesli from Missisippy, to order call 09021594555 or email  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , visit www.missisippy.com, Rs 150 for 5 portions, pick up from Colaba, home delivery starts next week.

Why: Forget smudgy mascara and walks of shame. Your morning-after just got sexy with Missisippy Life’s gourmet muesli made with amaranth, berries and nuts. Let its crumbly sound fill the awkward silence between you two; add heaps on milk, smoothies or yogurt; and share while talking about the weather, but also Missisippy’s many flavours - blueberry, coffee-hazelnut (our favourite), saffron and apple-cinnamon. These are made in a Mahabaleshwar “lair” by food-obsessed Jaideep Sippy, (he previously held senior positions at LV and Gucci in India), who started a health food company after he got sick. More cheap-chic natural products that guarantee a glow, are in the works.

When: You want to spread their seed. You can also sign up for a talk with Jaideep at Godrej Culture Lab’s Funda Friday today, May 11 at 4 pm.
