Milk Price Hike Expected to Raise Food Costs in Hotels and Bakeries

Milk Price Hike Expected to Raise Food Costs in Hotels and Bakeries

The impending increase in milk prices, set to begin on August 1, is likely to result in higher costs for eating out in hotels and purchasing bakery products. Hoteliers and bakeries have already raised their food prices, attributing the surge to the rising costs of dal, rice, and vegetables.

Bakery items, such as bread, are expected to see a significant price increase since milk is a fundamental ingredient in most of their products, including cream. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations leave little room for alternatives, making it inevitable for bakeries to raise their prices to meet the required milk content in milk bread.

Hotels have already increased prices for certain food items due to the escalating costs of dal and vegetables. As milk and dairy products prices rise, there is a possibility that the prices of other food items in hotels may also go up. Many hotels are contemplating raising the price of a cup of coffee/tea from INR 12 to INR 15, and a cup of tea priced at INR 15 might increase to INR 17.

Hoteliers and bakers are navigating the need for price adjustments without causing significant inconvenience to customers, especially the middle-class segment. They are aiming to strike a balance between avoiding losses and ensuring customer retention.

Sip in Style: Yuki’s Tequila Cocktails Hit All the Right Notes

At Yuki, sipping tequila is no longer just about salt and lime, it’s about exploring bold flavours, subtle aromas, and creative twists inspired by Pan-Asian flair. This stylish spot isn’t just a feast for the palate with its cuisine, but now also delights with a cocktail menu that’s bursting with personality.

Whether you’re a tequila enthusiast or just cocktail-curious, Yuki’s mixologists have designed a lineup that balances classic notes with playful innovation. Here’s what’s pouring:

Pandan Teq-Tea

This one’s a game-changer. A gentle blend of tequila, pandan syrup, and a hint of lime creates a smooth, slightly sweet drink with a vanilla-like aroma. It’s soft, fragrant, and a total crowd-pleaser for those who like their cocktails a little off the beaten path.

Summer in Osaka

If summer had a signature drink, this would be it. Imagine tequila meeting creamy toasted coconut, refreshing coconut water, earthy matcha crème, and a dusting of beetroot. The result? A layered, tropical cocktail that feels like a warm breeze with every sip.

Tuk Tuk Tom

This one’s for the bold-hearted. Inspired by Southeast Asian street flavors, it brings the iconic zing of Tom Yum into your glass. Tequila mingles with chilli heat, parsley freshness, and a citrusy lift from lime, giving you a spicy, herby hit that lingers in the best way.

The Classic Margarita

Some things never go out of style. Yuki’s take on the Margarita keeps it clean and crisp, premium agave, a splash of orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It’s a simple reminder of why this cocktail became a global favourite in the first place.

Yuki Picante

Think tropical meets spicy. Pineapple juice, lime, and agave nectar form the base, while coriander and jalapeño bring a zesty punch. It's lively, bold, and designed to wake up your taste buds.

Yuki doesn’t just serve cocktails, it curates experiences in a glass. Whether you're out with friends or just winding down after a long day, their tequila range adds the perfect spark to your evening. So the next time you’re at Yuki, raise a glass to flavour, flair, and a sip-worthy adventure.
