If you are fan of pork or on the cusp of trying out pork for the first time, then @justoinkme is the place to be! Their Porky Pav (Coorgi Pandi Curry as a Slider) and Chilli Pork are so damn good. The Chicken Hot Dog, the only chicken dish in the menu, is also well done. Pork Ribs and Sausages were over for the day, so we settled down for a few rashers of bacon.

If you are concerned about the hygiene of eating pork, then this place will allay those fears. They know their pork and carefully source and cook them too. Give them a go!

Finally got around to setup the Christmas Tree 🎄 for this season! And by chance when we switched off the light got a surreal look in the background!!

Merry Christmas to you all!!

Tried out Sabha breakfast today. This was by Sasthalaya Catering at Narada Gana Sabha. Every thing we tried were just so darn good! Highly recommend it if you are Chennai.

With the ‘Margazhi’ music season on, hoping to try out more Sabha food. This was a good start.

PS: More power to you if you saw the Venn in Pongal 😜

Checked out @thebombaychurros in Kilpauk last evening. Was a good attempt but not quite there yet. However the dark chocolate dip was 👌.

We ended up being nostalgic about the ones we had in @chocosangines in Madrid. Good times!!

The bacon and cheese sandwich at @lloydsteahouse is 💣 !!

This is from last Saturday. True to its name Fromage was a very cheesy affair!

The Broccoli & Cheddar soup in a bread bowl set the tone. They were not stingy on the cheese 🧀! The filo pastry pockets with onion & goat cheese and pull part bread were cheesy but just OK.

The Parmesan Wheel pasta was both a visual treat and tasty as well. The pasta was perfectly al-dente and oozing with Parmesan. Loved it.

The Cheesecake Flan would have been perfect if the sugar at the bottom had been burnt a bit more!! . We should be here again soon to try their burgers.

This Pav Bhaji from Kakada Ramprasad was top notch. The Bhaji was just spot on, yummy but not too heavy. That Pav is what my Mumbai memories are made of!

Happy Diwali folks!!

Festivities and food are never separate. This year we decided to stick to just 1 sweet and 1 karam. So here is our Diwali Bakshanam - Murukku and Coconut Barfi. What was yours?

PS : It was all my mom’s work. We were just minions in the kitchen.

This is from last weekend’s dinner at The Fat Boy. We loved their pizza and the cheesy fries. The Hot Boy pizza was truly hot to bring tears to the true blue Andhra girl in the house!!

Over the last weekend had these two wonderful ice creams from @amadoragourmeticecream. While our usual Mami’s Filter Kappi ice cream was good, the Dark Chocolate Sorbet with the silky smooth texture and heavy chocolate and cocoa flavours was just 👌

GoGo Ramen Chennai: The Chilli #Ramen Chicken 🍜 was excellent, while the Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelette) was too sweet for our taste.

Will have to go back to check out their Pork Ramen 🐖!!
