Dhaka metro ‘no more a dream’ as rolling stock contract signed
09 Aug 2017
csm_tn_bd-dhaka-metro-line6-trains-impression_35ef4db87e.jpg


BANGLADESH: The metro Line 6 rolling stock and depot contract was signed by project promoter Dhaka Mass Transit Co and a consortium of Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Corp on August 6. ‘Metro rail is no more a dream, it is now a reality,’ said Minister of Road Transport & Bridges Obaidul Quader at the signing ceremony in the Pan-Pacific Sonargaon Hotel.

Under the ¥40bn contract CP-08, Kawasaki will be responsible for project management and the design, manufacturing and commissioning of 24 six-car trainsets and major depot equipment. It will also train DMTC operations and maintenance staff, and supervise rolling stock maintenance. Mitsubishi will be responsible for commercial administration and supplying some depot equipment.

The cars will be 19·8 m long, 4·1 m high and 2 950 mm wide, with stainless steel bodies deigned for lightness and high durability. There will be internal and external CCTV cameras, and two sets of air-conditioning units per car.

Line 6 will run on a 19·9 km north–south elevated alignment from Uttara North to Motijheel, with 16 stations. Construction is being jointly financed by the government (25%) and a loan from Japan International Co-operation Agency (75%).

A groundbreaking ceremony for the viaduct and nine stations being built under contracts CP-03 and CP-04 was held on August 2. Trial operation is planned to start by the end of 2019, with the full service following by the end of 2020.

Further metro lines are planned, and Kawasaki and Mitsubishi said they planned to work together to win future rolling stock orders.

Well we have French Cuisine gracing the culinary scene in Dhaka nowadays.....

La Vie en rose

by ICE TODAY

editth-1.jpg


The Story
Edith is a curious name for a cafe. At first you may be unsure how to pronounce it – is it Ee-dith? Is it Eh-dith? Ultimately it begs the question – who is Edith? I was initially of the assumption that it was a special lady friend of the owner’s, a young chemistry graduate turned foodtrepreneur named Arbab Musa. Upon inquiry I came to learn that it is in fact named after the famous French singer, Edith Piaf. The fact that she is the namesake of the restaurant is apparent as you walk through the door and hear her mellifluous voice singing you “Le Vie en Rose”. Commemorating Ms. Piaf and her contribution to French culture at Edith makes even more sense when you realise that you have now entered a cafe on Champs Elysees.

editth-5.jpg


The Ambiance
Upon entering Edith, your mind will immediately be captivated by its chic vintage decor. It is as if you have just entered a French patisserie from the 1950’s. From the pastel walls to the wooden floors to the rustic doors, the chandeliers and even the music. Edith’s attempt to pay homage to timeless French elegance is truly praiseworthy. And the decor isn’t even the best part. If you walk towards the counter, you will be greeted by Edith’s whimsical and majestic creations- the assortment of baked goods that appeal to all the senses. The aesthetics of all the macaroons being organised according to colour and flavour particularly stands out.

The Highlights
Edith offers a varied range of teas and pastries, the most beautiful of which is the Rose & Roselle tea and most tempting of which are the chocolate profiteroles. The tea is a light pink, highly Instagrammable shade and carries a naturally sweet taste, all made possible by the rose hips and stevia leaves imported from China. A small pot is 280 BDT and large is 540 BDT. It comes with a tea light which keeps it warm throughout your stay.

editth-3.jpg

Croque Madame

The choux pastry on the profiteroles is perfect, making the pastry a splendid little cloud of cream and dough. At 250 BDT they are a little hard on the wallet, but treat yourself sometimes. Among the pastries the Peanut Danube (170 BDT) is chocolate decadence on a plate. And of course, the macaroons at 100 BDT each are a must-try. These dainty treats will charm you with its vibrant hues and creamy fillings.

editth-4.jpg


Pepper Caprese
The sandwiches at Edith are one of their strongest suits, all of which are made with a homemade brioche bread which contributes that tiniest bit of sweetness to the whole dish. The Croque Madame at 625 BDT comes with a fried egg and layers of yummy smoked chicken and cheese which makes for a filling meal. There is, however, something to be said about the fries that come with the sandwich. They are far from the skinny, insipid things that are served at other restaurants and have a rich, umami flavour. So when the server asks if you want salad or fries – you know what the answer is!

Verdict
There is a reason why Edith is the talk of the town at the moment. Both the ambience and the food items make for an experience unlike any place else. Simply put, Edith is a place which you must try out as soon as possible!
