Brahmin’s Coffee Bar

Another awesome breakfast in Bangalore! Short menu, simple cooking, amazing flavours and mostly importantly none of that sweet sambhar!!

Everything on the menu was consumed, except the butter. Going light you see 😜!!

Visiting in laws got the bestest பால்கோவா/Palkova I’ve ever tasted! This is from a roadside vendor.

Dear Agarwal Sweets, Kadapa, may you live a long long time!

Soul Garden Bistro

Living next door, I was really enthusiastic about this place and looking forward to this meal. But the overall experience was just meh .

The cheese fondue was more cream sauce used for pasta and pickled vegetables for this place means pickled Jalapeños and Olives! 🤦‍♂️

The pizza had nothing to complain about, except that the Soul Garden special was not special by any means!

The aglio e olio (no picture) is our usual measuring stick of a pasta cook. This simple dish of just garlic and olive oil is real tough to mask the shortcomings of ingredients or skills! The pasta we ordered was not garlicky at all and lacked the basic emulsification! What a mess!!

The 3 cheese sandwich, for sure did not have 3 cheese in it. And the bread was just off the shelf supermarket variety. 🤷‍♂️

Sad that a restaurant right next door has turned out be so bad!

One thing we really miss about #Delhi !!

When I heard “Murukku Sandwich”, I assumed he would place crushed murukku inside a regular sandwich. But this roadside vendor in #Sowcarpet was innovative in using these tiny murukku as bread for the sandwich. And between two murukku there were tiny slithers of cucumber, tomato, onion and chutney. That’s pretty good #FusionFood I would say! It was super fun to eat too!!

Went on a food walk of sorts with @rgokul, @iownrgokul, @renganv around Sowcarpet, Chennai.

The highlight of the evening was the decadent Podi Idli and Podi Uthappam at Seena Bhai Tiffin Centre. The place serves just those two dishes and the crowds can’t have enough of it. Don’t go there if you watch your oil intake. They drench the Idli and Uthappam in Ghee! Of course, we totally loved it😍

Junior Kupanna, T Nagar

What a lovely meal at Junior Kuppanna! Definitely one of the best Chicken 65 I’ve tasted. Atlast a decent Parotta place in Chennai. And the only place I like Biryani other than my mom’s. This is going to be our frequent haunt in Chennai!

The English Tearoom is a nice little place with a good collection of teas. We had Raisin scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam and a pot of Christmas Mulled Spiced Tea!! 👌
