Too bad you missed the best breakfast place in Mamilla... Greg's.

We were taken out to b'fast, so we didn't choose the location.

after that whole discussion you initiated you didn't even try sheyan or keyara??

Would that I could've, but there was just no time to fit everything in, unfortunately.

Me? Generally less than 10 minutes. Other people? Not so quick...
GREAT POST! And I can testify that I was having some problems while I was renting my car on Thursday and in walks Moishebatchy! The entire staff greets him with a warm hello and after seeing that I was friends with him they treated me much better! And and as far as his "paperwork " it took him approximately 5 minutes to take care of his business

Sushi Garden

We had a fried salmon roll (not tempura) and a spicy salmon roll. Both came very quick and tasted like the real stuff, although they were smaller than what I'm used to (I guess they stil need to grow up :P). Then there's the vegetable tempura which I found to be delicious. Service was very good and prices were okay (I did not expect such small rolls for that price).
