There’s something comforting about really tiny menus. And by tiny I don’t mean the literal size of the menu but the number of items on it. Don’t get me wrong. Like every other person, I too, like to be spoilt for choice when I eat out. But there’s no denying the sometimes too many options … Continue reading Iconic Bangalore | Brahmins’ Coffee Bar
Last month I went to Mumbai to catch up with some friends, and what do you know, a bunch of them weren’t even around to do any catching up. Anyway, that meant I rely heavily on the remaining few to spend my time in the city that I often think of as my second home. This … Continue reading Buffalo tongue and pork curlies in Mumbai
Because I work full-time, simply taking off every morning and exploring the city for Project Bangalore is not a possibility. Got to make the moolah to travel, you know? Which is why, when I stumbled upon the article ‘On Foot: Discovering Bengaluru’s Riveting History’ by Zay O’Yeah on NatGeo’s website (the article unfortunately can “no longer … Continue reading Walking my way through Bangalore
In the 7th grade, my now best friend of 13 years, invited me home for iftaar. The only two things that I can recall from that meal are the apple-date milkshake and these little home-made triangular pastries that resembled samosas but were a lighter, softer and non-deep fried version of it. I remember how delicate they were … Continue reading Iftaar treats | Bannerghatta Road
Imagine a bustling decades-old street, occupied to the brim with food stalls and shops, some covered in the hissing smoke arising from kebabs on the coal-fired grill, some resonating the cheers that arise every time dough hits hot oil and each one’s lure stronger than the other. There are people everywhere, there’s even more food everywhere. Luscious, rich, heavy food. … Continue reading Iftaar treats: Mohammed Ali Road in Mumbai
For someone who doesn’t enjoy waking up early or stuffing her face as soon as she wakes up, I put in a lot of (according to me) effort to do exactly that in Kolkata. Because we landed in Kolkata at 7:30 in the morning, the first thing on our agenda was to find a place … Continue reading 5 places to try breakfast in Kolkata
The thing I love about festivals in India, is that follower or non-follower, when it comes to the festival food, everybody’s game. With Eid coming up soon, we’re right in the middle of the month of Ramzan. And there’s a whole lot of good food to be had. Unfortunately, this year, the usual food stalls that are … Continue reading Iftaar treats: JNC Road
Few things in life can make me wake up early in the morning and run out of the house/hotel in the t-shirt I slept in. Pork buns are one of them. A couple of months ago, I came across this blog post where I read about the Chinese breakfast market in Kolkata. With a trip to … Continue reading Waking up to Chinese breakfast in Kolkata
My trip to Sri Lanka with my mother went through a lot of planning before it came to fruition. When it came to Colombo, our first stop, one of the highlights of our agenda was a meal at the Ministry of Crab. While getting there didn’t go as planned, the experience and food was everything we expected. Here’s … Continue reading When in Colombo, eat at the Ministry of Crab
Like any sane person, I’m crazy about good food. Even more so when I travel. After all, isn’t food a big part of travel? I know all my travels will be incomplete if I don’t savour the local delicacies and return with exotic flavours lingering along with my memories. So naturally, one of the things … Continue reading A date with the Ministry of Crab
