eCabs Expands to Deliver ‘Ride & Fry’ Experience: Berliner Pastizzis and Tea on the Thames

Brussjettas and Pastizzis Go International

After dominating the local ride-sharing scene in Malta with their fleet of black beauties, eCabs has announced a blitzkrieg-like strategy to conquer roads much farther afield. In an unexpected twist, they’ve set their sights on the culinary capitals of Berlin and the UK, driving a campaign that promises to ‘appetize’ travel like never before.

Moving Beyond the Maltese Shores

Ċikku, eCabs’ CEO, declared in a press conference held in a traditional Gozitan farmhouse, “We’re not just taking Maltese passengers to new destinations; we’re taking a slice of Malta with us.” As cameras flashed, a table groaned with trays of fresh pastizzi, bowls of aromatic rabbit stew, and baskets of ħobż biż-żejt, hinting at how they plan to ‘invade’ these cities with Maltese delicacies.

Mdina’s Ghostly Guides Turn GPS Voices

Moving deeper into their strategical onslaught, Ċikku revealed a new feature for international eCabs customers. GPS navigation will now be voiced by characters inspired by Mdina’s infamous midnight ghost tour – the Silent City’s spectral inhabitants are no longer just a scary bedtime story; they’re your guides through Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and London’s winding alleys. “Turn left, if you dare,” the app whispers, adding a shiver to your commute.

Plot Twist: Vehicles Double as Traveling Restaurants

What’s cooking on the autobahn? Well, pastizzis, for one. eCabs has cleverly modified their fleet to house mobile mini ovens, ensuring that Maltese passengers feel right at home with a warm flaky treat in the back seat. “Our Berlin expansion includes the ‘Berliner Pastizzi’ — same flaky pastry, but with currywurst filling!” exclaimed Sina, head of eCabs’ R&D. The UK version, dubbed ‘The Afternoon Drive’, offers tea served in delicate Maltese filigree along with a side of pastizzi, creating that perfect blend of British-Maltese sophistication.

One surprised Valletta commuter shared, “Uwejja! You mean I can now have my ħobź biż-żejt and eat it too while sightseeing in London? Kollox sorted then!”

The Cultural Collision Course

Amidst laughter, the CEO boasted that Berlin was chosen for its vibrant techno scene, “We want to contribute to that beat. Imagine – the Doors’ ‘Riders on the Storm’ with a Maltese żaqq remix!” Just like mixing polka with EDM, eCabs aims to marry tradition with modernity.

Across the English Channel, the British have started scratching their heads. The mayor of a quaint English village considered a sister city to Gozo, after trying his first pastizz, said with a puzzled expression, “I can’t believe it’s not Cornish pasty. Splendid!”

Interactive Reader Contest: Name That Cab!

Gearing up for their international voyage, eCabs is hosting a contest asking for readers to name the next-gen cabs. Suggestions poured in with names like ‘Hypogeum Hopper’ and ‘Big Ben Buggy’ topping the list.

With the citizens of Berlin and the UK scratching their heads and Maltese expats beaming with pride, Times of Mela cheekily asks, “Will Berliners and Brits embrace the quirks of Maltese flavour as they zoom around their cities? Only Thyme, and perhaps a bit more cumin, will tell.”

So, keep an eye on your rear-view mirrors, Europe! eCabs’ ‘Ride & Fry’ experience might just be the twist in your daily commute you never knew you needed.

Mela, buckle up and get ready to say ‘Prost’ or ‘Cheers’ with a Maltese twist, as the island’s best zooms across borders with a bellyful of laughs and pastries in tow.
