If we had a rupee for every time somebody told us, "There's nothing in Grant Road", we'd be left with the kind of money to spend on multiple wedding receptions (without actually getting married). For two decades, we've heard people blatantly labelling our area of residence with tags that include dance bars, Lamington Road, and of course, the iconic B Merwan bakery. Which is why when we come across a delivery kitchen based in Grant Road East that is named after a fictional five-star restaurant situated at the end of the universe in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, we are curious if it this is the start of new beginnings.

We find Milliways on an online food aggregator and place our order at around 8.30 pm from our workplace, which is on the other side of the Sea Link. We pick prawn crackers with sriracha mayo (R150), spicy shoyu ramen with braised chicken (R380), chicken ultimate chilli garlic wonton bowl (R350), and crispy potato sriracha bao (R220). But because we think it'll be fun to incur our purely non-vegetarian parents' wrath, we add the Vietnamese vegan pho (R320) to our cart.
