Trip to India - Food

There is just so many things to talk bout India, but I guess this is gonna be the last post bout India. Because, I realise I did not mention anything bout the food there. I've blog bout the safari and others. But not food, so in case ppl might thought probably there is no good food, that's why I did not blog bout it. But hey, guess what, in fact, there is lotsa good food. But the main prob is .. is all bout spices, spicy .. and so on .. mostly are spicy.

Here, in Banglore, not sure how is the eating culture here, but I realise there is alot or actually all the restaurants having the choice to take vegetarian or not, unlike here, vegetarian normally costs more expensive than the usual, but in Banglore - is cheaper. Even in Pizza Hut, there is even vegetarian pizzas .. yeah, is plural.

During the days in Banglore, Ooty or Mysore, I dun recall I came thru any seafood, probably because is inner land. So mostly we ate is vegetarian and chicken.

When there is a day when we walked alone without company of my friend whom lives there, we actually having a prob - not sure what to order when come into restaurant. So the only way - embarrassingly ordered some fried rice or some wanton soup .. (tho the taste is totally diff)

The menu do written in English, but the name .. I got no idea what is that. Yes, I do know Briyani, Roti canai and bla bla .. the prob is .. non of those familiar words appeared. Briyani yes .. but is alwiz Briyani with something something .. which that is the main cause.

So anyway, during the trip, we went into the local restaurant in the morning for breakfast and turned up we are the only odd one. And we ate all the local delights. Almost everyday the diff stuff, even the Lassi and Chaat. We kinda proud of ourselves, having the guts to try those new stuff. Not to forget the Pan as well. During the trip the most we ate - Roti and Poori and some Naan. Basically, Roti and Naan almost the same thing, just diff thickness and some others which DK explained to me before, but I forget :P ...

Overall .. The food we had - is awesome! Here is some pics of the food we ate.

Of coz - The Indian candy. Thanks Xi for belanja :)

Gulab Jamoon - a local dessert, and I think is quite sweet. But taste great :)

The local delights - Gobi Manchurian, is actually fried cauliflower, and the manchurian actually is a local special way of cooking it.. not sure whats that tho.

Now, this is Rajastani Vegetarian Meal from Mantri Mall. Eat all you can, everything is free flow refilled. Most of them really nice, but some .. hmm .. guess I just dun like the taste. (This meal actually is quite costly among all the meals we took throughout the days.)

Snacks! Lassi and Chaat. Lassi should be quite familiar to everyone, but Chaat is something new :) Something crunchy and tasty, made of beans I assume, something like our kacang putih.

Poori/Puri - is quite familiar to most of the ppl I guess .. For those whom duno, this used as part of the meal, use to dip with curry, even goes with kurt (yogurt) and so on ..

My favourite of all - this is our breakfast - Open Butter Massala Dosa in Adigas restaurant.
