back to blogging! eventhough I was not writing anything these days, I used to check how people reach my blog (yep, I am little curious about that). About half my visitors come through google. Some searches like ’smooching beaches in chennai’ had also led people to my site and I just thought that it would be a good idea to give people details about some nice places where (ahoy, stop guessing, you dirty mind! that was a bad guess.. read on! it wasn’t really it ) I had basked some real good food in chennai. Apart from my JLT thought there are no big reasons why I’m commemorating this!
The list is in no specific order. In short, a HashSet with no particular hashing algorithm BTW, I am a veggie, but not a vegan.

I will start with the mobile parotta kadai which can be found somewhere near the IN gate of the ‘Le Royal’. One night, I along with my friend was searching for something to eat. It was so late and most restaurants had shut their doors. We had two options - The Le Royal and the Parotta Kadai. As I don’t like Le Royal’s restaurants, I opted the parotta for a change hehehe. ahem! whew, it was really dainty. loved it! 1 parotta costed 3 rupees. I ate just 6 that day I guess there should exist a canonical proportion of kathipara’s dust and carbon from vehicles in preparation which gave it a special taste anyways I liked it a lot!

Review:- purse saving, no need of purse infact. One can manage with coins :). Bad spot for going as couple. Dont ever do that thinking off minnale! Boy, It aint that.

Next hot spot is Bombay Lassi behind Devi theatre. Lassis (NOT LASSIE :D) are utterly butterly delicious and so are samosas. Never miss this one if you are a food freak. I even have had 3 Lassis(NOT LASSIES again :D) in a row amidst of the strange looks from the owner himself

Review:- Must go

Desire Chettinad restaurant next to kasi theatre(before the BSNL office) is one worth mentioning. It is a perfect blend of a road side shop and chettinad hotel. So, money is OK and the taste is great.

Review:- ****

Dosa kadai in pondi bazaar near vivekananda training institute is already famous. We can see people even with cars hanging out there in the evening. It has got a made up car parking, but still it is a road kadai. taste was good once upon a time. Now that, he has started concentrating much on quality which eventually slimmed down the taste.

Review:- This could be a minnale style road side shop. you can go with your gf in bike / car / walk down / cycle wateva. no harms there in particular.

‘Hotel Limras’ on the way to vepery from purasawalkam, under the overbridge, near purasawalkam mosque is one famous shop in that area specializing in beef. My friends said it was good. I ate only egg and found it good too.

Review:- this is for hardcore non-veggies

Mami’s soups in west mambalam market - the next gen snack parlour in west mambalam area. Kondal kadalai and varieties of soups ranging from 5 to 10 rupees are worthy and good for health. this will serve as a better evening snack bar when compared to tea kadais.

Review:- health conscious fellas hit this out

Mylapore moorthy mess opposite to Mylapore flying station is the HSB of the poor. It is neat, it is clean, it is tasty, it is veg and it is cheap. 10 idlies costs about 15 rupees with three chutnies. It is a start-up.

Review:- Simply Veggie

Although the list is incomplete, this should be kinda OK for now. will try to post more in the future…
Please leave your favourite Road kadai shops too will give it a try sometime
