Caution!!! SPICINESS Overloaded

-
During those lazy evenings, when our taste buds really long for something simply spicy and incredibly delicious, the first thought that comes to our mind is this million dollar question- why not go and grab a steaming plate of momos (dumplings)???
Originating in Tibet , the dish slowly started conquering the hearts of all the people in the South-Asian countries.We can find different types of momos - veg momos, mushroom momos, paneer momos, chicken momos, prawn momos, fish momos and the list goes on. Hot dumplings are usually served with a spicy chutney (dipping sauce).



 One of the best place in Chennai to indulge yourself to an appetizing plate of sizzling momos is in Vijaya Mall, Vadapalani.The shop is called 'Wow Momos'. A true dumpling lover should never miss this place because here they serve few of the best steamed momos, pan fried momos and fried momos. "I can bet that you wouldn't share even a single piece with anyone", the words of my unfortunate friend Kumki. He was the one who dragged me to this amazing spot from where my heart refused to leave. We must have definitely had around 12-15 pieces of momos each. Please don't judge us because we don't even regret in having them since the taste was out of the universe. The momos were cylindrical in shape and were served with two types of chutneys- mint chutney and tomato garlic chilli chutney. We dipped the hot momos in some tangy sauces and in no time we finished the whole plate with no words exchanged. The dish was so spicy that tears started rolling down from both of our eyes. Seriously, nothing could ever compete with the amazing taste of this hot snack.


So peeps, this proves that  joy can be found in anything no matter the shape or size. One last thing, life is like a honeycomb maze, each day will help you find something different and interesting. Enjoy and celebrate it!!!

Cafe Time

Cafes are the best place one could probably imagine when we wish to have a good dinner with our loved ones. Here is where we slowly start drowning in the magic of soothing light music and even the mere thought of being surrounded by magnificent smell of flowers along with two glasses of wine is just impeccable.  Fortunately, all the above stated views are imaginary in my life since I got to have a great brunch with my friends at this famous cafe joint called 'That Madras Place', Kasthuri Bai Nagar, Adyar, Chennai. The prices touch the heights of sky but it got compensated by the incredible taste of food. The cafe is best known for its pastas and burgers.  Out of all our orders, jalapenos mac 'n cheese pasta topped the list. Any cheese lover will wipe up the plate in no time since the macaroni was full of thick creamy sauce along with jalapenos and some veggies. The dish was served along with a toasted wheat bread. Jalapenos Mac n Cheese   Chick...

Who doesn't love Maggi ?? That 2 minutes love is honestly a blessing. Unlimited Maggi all for INR 100*. Say what? That's happening at Maggivala, Kodapakkam. With simply pleasing ambiance and warm lights, Maggivala is much more than good old sodium Maggi. At Maggivala, choose from different varieties of Maggi, pizza, and milkshakes. We had the pleasure of trying 4 varieties of Maggi, a Maggi pizza ( Yes! You read it right. Maggi pizza) and a milkshake. Maggi. Indian takka Maggi - Honestly it tasted likes sambar. The magic of garam masala and all those spices. Indian Tadaka Maggi  Jalapeno Maggi - Simply good old Maggi with generous shavings of Jalapeno. Jalapeno Maggi  Garlic cheese Maggi - If you happen to be a big fan of garlic bread, you will absolutely love this Maggi. Old school Maggi with cheese and garlic. MUST TRY - Maggi Virgin (INR 70)- The best variation of Maggi on the menu. Maggi virgin is a perfect harmony of spices( lots and lots of pepper)...

If you carrot all.

Ooty is a popular tourist spot of Nilgiris. Despite being a part of South India, Ooty offers a sub-tropical climate which makes it perfect for cultivation of carrots, tea and cabbage. If you have ever been to Ooty, you would have seen innumerous vendors selling packets of fresh carrots at a mere cost of INR 20-40. Carrots. Are you cringing at the sight of this word? So am I. Carrots are nutrient rich and low in calories. They are packed with Vitamins (especially Vitamin A which is good for our eyes). However, you already know this. There’s even a day for carrots (April 4 th every damn year).  “What you see depends on how you view the world. To most people this is just dirt. To a farmer it’s potential.”Here, a group of laborers manually pluck carrots from the soil. These laborers are paid on a day-to-day basis.  These carrots are roughly packed in jute bags and transplanted into a factory area where the carrots are washed. The carrots are thrown over the...
