We're not the sort to hanker after the spotlight. Really. Which is why we had a deer-caught-in-the-headlight moment as soon as we staggered into the too-bright interiors of Rainbow: Fortune Park Lake City's vegetarian restaurant.

As soon as our eyes got accustomed to the light we almost wished they hadn't, given the restaurant's presumably wallpapered interiors that looked like giant Chimanlal's letter paper with their trellised patterns.

Don't get us wrong though, we love handwritten notes and Chimanlal's even more, but not on the walls of a restaurant. Please.

The bad taste doesn't stop with the walls. It percolates through them into the bottle green and red rexine-like upholstery on the chairs to the mosaic tiles on the floor. We said a silent prayer, hoping that the food would be better.
