Lucknow, India!




Namaste! Here to blog on my Lucknow trip :D


Visited Bara Imambara of Lucknow.






One of the nicest and loveliest set of crew I had for layover!
They are so hilarious I can die laughing all day.



Got photobombed by the two gila people behind.





Food is amazing in Lucknow. Cheap and awesome!
I loooove the briyani and their cottage cheese!


Their naan is charcoal grilled and taste superb! 
My crew ordered this green spinach dish  
which was mashed with cottage cheese  and it blows my mind. 


This gate is special, because apparently an indian man waited for his lover here,
and he got into an accident and didn't manage to meet her in the end.
They made a movie out of this love story.



Visited a textile center where they handmade cloth for sarees.


Tried on a pretty saree! Was really tempted to buy lah,
but then I was thinking theres not much chance to wear it in SG, so don't waste money. Lol



Surprisingly weather in Lucknow is pretty chilly,
especially at night where it can go down to 8 degrees. 




We stayed in Vivanta Taj. which was an awesome hotel!
The people there are so friendly and helpful. They even have complimentary laundry service!
I really commend their laundry service because all the clothes came back
freshly pressed and clean, and they could get it done in an hour.




Room service. Yum!





In love with their buffet spread.
They even have freshly made thosai which was crazy awesome!




In the evening we planned a surprise and 
celebrated Sufiyan's and Ikha's birthday.



I bought a nice chikan and dopatti and wore it to take pictures 
around the hotel garden. HAHA vainity at its best.





So in love with India! No wonder people would call this place incredible.




Till next time... :D
I'll be back for you, Taj Mahal xx
