Vanakkam, Guys,

It's been really long since we blogged here. We had been travelling and a little held up, so couldn't post frequently. Coming to today's post, it's a review about the restaurant called Fully Local.

Kulfi has already reviewed the vegetarian cuisine of this place in her blog here.

I am going to review the non-veg cuisine alone here.

Soul of Seoul @ Vascos, Hilton

Vanakkam,

Recently, me and Kulfi were invited to Hilton Hotel to try their Korean Food Festival - Soul of Seoul. It started on 11th August, the day we visited this place. It will go on till 26th August, and it is priced at Rs. 1900+tax per buffet meal.

The place needs to no introduction. It looks fancy and awesome. Situated as a large restaurant in the third floor, the place scream grandeur. The service was quite and friendly too. Coming to cuisine, Kulfi has reviewed the Veg Menu in her blog, I am Stri.

Here, I will be reviewing the Non-Veg Menu.

As we had so much food, I am just gonna mention the food that I loved, and here are those. Let's start with the desserts!

However, this year, the Chennai Book Fair is happening in The Island Grounds, Chennai. It started on June 1, 2016 and it will go on till June 13, 2016.

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai - Things To Do In Chennai #4

Vanakkam, Makkale,

As you all know, we are doing "Things To Do In Chennai" series. The recent place that I visited in Chennai was Sri Ramakrishna Math, Mylapore, Chennai. Despite knowing about this place for almost 25 years now, I never happened to visit this place until very recently.

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai is the first branch center of the Ramakrishna Order in Southern India. It was started in the year 1897 by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Besides Swami Ramakrishnananda, the Math was visited by Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Brahmananda and Swami Shivananda. The motto of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is: For one’s own salvation, and for the welfare of the world {Source: Here}

The moment I entered this Universal Temple, I was spellbound by its mighty infrastructure. It is so gigantic, marvelous, and beautiful, to say the least. These pictures have no filter, and taken through a mobile camera, yet the beauty of the place is so beautiful that it reflects in these pictures.

Chennai To Pondy - Things To Do In Chennai #3

Hi, Makkale,

This is an overdue travelogue that we wanted to share with you all as soon as we started this blog. However, I have been procrastinating this until now. We took a 2D/1N trip to Pondicherry/Puducherry, and here is what our experience was like.

Pondicherry!

Disclaimer: Pondicherry is a place that pretty much every Chennaite would have visited. This post is no itinerary or must-do kind of post for this city. This post is more like a travelogue of our personal experience.

VB Signature - Blurring The Lines Between Cuisines

Vanakkam,

The first thing that pops into my head when I hear about Vasanta Bhavan is how conventional and predictable its menu is. Well… This place successfully breaks that trend. I can comfortably say that this is the best Vasanta Bhavan I have ever been to.

Mocktails - VB Signature

There aren’t a lot of places that I can compare this to. I mean, who else serves a Thai flavoured Kothu Parotta?? Read on...
