Lunch scenes from the weekend. Seems like quizzing was just an excuse to catch up with friends and have some lunch together. The #Mexican Bowl and few rounds of #dessert from @pumpkin.tales .

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 🐖!!

Today’s lunch was at the famed Valarmathi Kongunaatu Samayal in #Coimbatore.
Loved that Nengu Kari and #Kalaki. The Kongu #Mutton Kozhambu and #Parotta were just OK.

11 years of us
Here is to the 11 years of us, and to the many more to come!!
When shopping for fish at the Saidapet Fish Market, we made a pit stop at Mari Hotel for their famous Vada Curry.
Needless to say, the Vada Curry was excellent. But their Dosai there was even better than that. A well fermented batter, spread thin enough to crisp and yet thick enough to have a bite!! A must try if you are around the area.

While the plan was to go to a different restaurant for her birthday, The Missus switched her mind on seeing the name — Nasi Kandar Pelita. And what a serendipitous find it turned out to be.
The place serves #Malaysian, Chinese and North Indian, but stick to just Malaysian items on the menu. Lots of folks dining there, knew their way through the menu. We just went by famous dishes and familiar names.
Loved their Paya Soup and Mutton Sambal Nasi Kandar (Malaysia version of set meals). The Dal Curry served with Roti Canai (Malaysian version of #Parotta) was my favorite of all the dishes.
Going by this experience, we may pay them a visit sometime soon :)

Last weekend in Pondicherry was stuffed with good food. This was the breakfast at @breadandchocolate_india. Highly recommend the place. Everything we had there were 👌!!
The Croissant 🥐 reminded us of the ones we had in Paris. Just so damn good. The Summer time Tartine (swipe right) was pure awesomeness of good #sourdough bread, toasted to perfection, spread with locally made Ricotta cheese and topped with 2 poached eggs!!

After a few weeks of not eating out, stole a quick snack with The Missus last evening at the Amethyst.
The Chilli Cheese Crumpets though very nice with cheese and spice, was too doughy for our liking.
The scrumptious Raisin Scones on the other hand were absolutely awesome.
And what an ambience to sit and sip a pot of hot tea. Would soon be there for a full meal.
