Missus made this Red Chilli Chutney. Sets the tongue on fire, and later other parts!


I reckon someone is enjoying this vacation to the fullest! Reading Roald Dahl ๐Ÿ“–, mid-morning naps ๐Ÿ’ค, lot of time without chores to fill in. ๐Ÿ˜Š


Check out the marbling on the fish! This local fresh water fish is called Aatru Vazhai. Damn tasty and juicy. No oil is required, the fat itself fries the fish on the tawa!!

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 ๐Ÿ˜œ!!

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 Jalapeรฑos and Olives! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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