And this is the latest gadget purchase from the Amazon sale going on! @UltimateEars Wonderboom. Cute little one that packs a punch.

With a decision to move away from shaving foams, gels and creams and go old school with #shaving soaps, I gave @thepinkwoolf a try. I am really impressed with the lather of their soap! What impressed me more was the hand written note that came along with it. What a nice thought!! That and a nice small free sample 😋
Thank you Subodh of @thepinkwoolf for the note. And here is the feedback you asked for.
PS: A few years ago I switched from disposable razors to old school shaving with single safety razors aka #wetshaving . I’m totally loving it.
Hotel Suprabha, Aminjikari, Chennai
After reading about Hotel Suprabha from @mytrystwithfood’s blog, ended up there for lunch last Saturday and again today.
This is simple food done right and made accessible to all. For ₹80 you get a mound of rice, a dry vegetable, a wet vegetable, a chutney, plain dal and ghee, sambhar, morkozhambhu, rasam and buttermilk. Everything is top notch. And yeah you get extra rice if you finish the fist mound :)
A total fan of their food. While I can travel far for good food, this being at walking distance from home is a bonus!!
Happy Pongal! இனிய பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள்!

Hindu Lit For Life 2019
The best session for me from The Hindu Lit for Life was this session called Masala Shakespeare by @jonathan.gil.harris! What insight and what a way to present it! Totally rad. Loved it!!

Happy New Year folks! New mug for the new year. Guess I’ll call it Hedwig!! 😜
Goodbye 2018!
Wrapping down this year’s dining out was the lunch at Dahlia. It was extra special because Dahlia itself was closing down on the 31st as the owner is taking retirement.
The Sushi Moriawase, Beef Steak and the Beef Onion Udon were just spot on. I really loved their Tori Butter Yaki, chicken cooked in butter. What an amazingly simple and flavorful dish!
I was glad I could make it before they down their shutters. So long Dahlia!

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 💣 !!
#Food #Sandwich #Bacon #Chennai #ChennaiDiaries
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!
