Okay, so some of you might have noticed our comments being swallowed (only two apparently). Thing is, Node Six transferred us to one of their new servers, and threw in a fresh new theme as a bonus, custom pimped just for our royal weakness. We were worried our site would be down for ages, but [...]
Yesterday on my way home, i passed via kampala road, i noticed that in place of the then fading Fido Dido sign post(?), there was now a Hot Chips or something sign. Am sad, not because i liked fido dido or anything like that, but just because all of a sudden, kampala is no longer recognizable.
am outta here

say it isnt so!
September 16th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Nooo. Not Fido. Dido. It sure seems weird not to have Fido Dido.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Thank God.
That place was a mess. The ice cream was horrible! Remember in January when it was closed for selling spoilt ice cream and packaging ice cream in unwashed containers? It needed to close.
“Kampala is no longer recognizable …”
Hahahahahahahaha! Dude, sniff the air, smell the dust, jump over a pool of sewerage, drive into a pothole … Kampala is the same old dump.

yeah but the buildings are being replaced by mostly more crappy buildings. you can hardly look at any place in kampala nowadays with any nostalgia
September 16th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I never really went to Fido Dido. Except waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. But it was a landmark of sorts, defined that particular corner of Kampala.
I hate the new buildings coming up, they all look rushed and un-finished, especially that one right opposite former Fido Dido. The blue windows just look tacky.
Some of the only buildings I like are that fancy new thing on Bombo road (opposite YMCA) and the one with the new Umeme offices, oba it’s the road above Lumumba avenue.
They both have a certain je ne sais qoui…

September 18th, 2008 at 4:30 am

Guys fidodido still exists bt in a whole new look. looks much better now…they had to do the renovations or else they would be out of business. the ice cream is still the best if u ask me and wud be sad if it went off kla rd. its a land mark.
October 17th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
righto the place still stand ans is kicking now thanx to their new look. I tried the food it sure will give competition to bon apetit. and they won some award for the best quality ice cream in the country. a nice feat esp after they were closed down a few months back. BRAVO FIDO DIDO!!!
