Ikki Twins Now
I am not sure what the Ikki Twins are up to now. I don’t know what happened to them after 2017. If you do, please let me know in a comment below.
Palacina Restaurant
Palcina Restaurant, in Nairobi, used to be a regular haunt of mine back in the late ’90s and early ’00s. Why did I go there all the time? Because the food and drinks were exquisite, the ambience classy and cozy, and the service was always friendly and professional.
Over the years, the restaurant at Palacina, now called Palacina Bistro, has still retained its fantastic ambience. It’s food and menu though are a bit touch and go: sometimes very good and sometimes not that much.
