gallopin gooseberries

We were in Chennai for Kavita's wedding, who by the way is my cousin sister for those who don't know...
Now the wedding was in Nagarcoil which is Tamil Nadu. I was coming here after some 16 years...
The food here in south India is really good. But I must say that not everyone wouldn't like it.. It's like an acquired taste!
Everyday for breakfast there would be some south Indian food. My favorite breakfast there was puttu. It's like a powderish thing, I don't know what it's made of though since I don't know how to cook.

So, we had a fantastic holiday.. It was boiling hot... but then that was part of the fun since eveyone had your support.

We then went to Chennai for the other reception. The day before the reception we went for lunch to this place called Gallopin Gooseberries....
They have the most amazing burgers. I wish we got those kind of burgers in Bombay. There is this place called Bembo's which has some really good stuff. But let's keep that for another story.
Check out this pic I took at Gooseberries..

yeah, puttu is good, I like it too, you should eat it with ghee and sugar, its amazing. Though among all the south indian breakfast dishes I like apam and stew. By the way, seeing you with food, reminds me of Jughead... imagine being able to eat any amount of food and not putting on weight! It's like a dreammmmm
