About a year ago, I featured Chemchem Restaurant on Exposure's travel blog. Today, I am visiting the new branch of the same business. The launch of the second outlet could be the beginning of an extensive chain of coffee bars and restaurants operating under the Chemchem brand.    

Last year’s dining experience took place within the premises of Jalia Garden in Kabuga suburb, but the venue of the ongoing coffee break is Mlimani Garden. The latter is located in Rebero area. Both properties encompass wedding facilities and artistically designed Chemchem joints.       

It’s a cloudy Sunday morning here in Kigali, but excitement is in the air. I am in the neighborhood to witness glory. Shortly after gulping some cappuccino, I will join a magnitude of Tour du Rwanda fans at Canal Olympia, where the winner will be crowned.    

Today’s dose of caffeine is administered when I am glued to the TV hanging on the wall. The gigantic screen is tuned to RTV, the official broadcaster of the aforementioned event. 

After spinning their spokes around the country, the vigorous participants are approaching the finishing line. All roads lead to Rebero. Literary.
