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.

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...

Tawa 9 - Nachos & Kulfi are on Cloud 9 - Restaurant Review


Vanakkam, makkale!

Nachos told me that I am like Leech from X-Men, when I am near Triplicane or Mylapore. He claims that I turn everyone around me to be a religious and/or preach purity and virtue to them. LOL! It is just where my heart is: in the crooked, crowded streets of Triplicane and Mylapore. I recently took him to this place called Tawa 9 after reading about it in my friend Katie's blog. I immediately wanted to try this place, and dragged him there.

Located in Venkatakrishna Iyer Road, RA Puram, right next to the Domino's Pizza.
The moment I entered inside there, it was a casual dining ambiance with normal furniture. This wall art caught my eye though.

Dine @ Etc - Things To Do In Chennai #2

Hi, People,

You might have already read my dining experience in Etc Cafe & Restaurant over here. This post is under our Things To Do In Chennai series. I, initially, thought of not adding restaurants in this series as I wanted to maintain it as a pure recreational series. However, this place was too entertaining and recreational that I cannot resist adding it over here. Located in the Rutland Gate 5th Street, this place is quite easy to spot using Google Maps. As I said earlier there is ample parking space with an option for valet parking too. If you are wondering what is so ravishing about this place, take a look at this.

Chocolate Ba(Zuka)

Vanakkam!

Here is my long overdue thoughts on Zuka, a dessert joint located right opposite to Hotel President in Radhakrishnan Salai, Mylapore. When  we decided to go to this restaurant, the first thing that intrigued me was the name. What does Zuka mean? So, I asked the almighty Google, and I got all sorts of answers from Japanese theatres to crossdressing cultures. I even got a result that simply means “Insane.” Well… In that way, this Pondicherry based restaurant is aptly named.

Burger King, Express Avenue - Kiddie Meal Review

Hi, People,

It's me Kulfi again. What I have today is a review of the Veg Kiddie Meal by Burger King, Express Avenue. I don't know what they call that Veg for Rs. 69 and Non-Veg for Rs. 79 meal, but I call it the Kiddie Meal :)

I have been roaming around with my niece for the past few days, and she is super energetic and excited always. I wonder how she can be hyper all through the day. She and I went to Burger King today to have a light Brunch/Snack before venturing into shopping.

Why You Should Not Watch Ki&Ka?

Hi, Folks,

Your Nachos is being busy writing his Zuka experience; thus, here I am writing another blog post. I happened to watch Ki&Ka, Nachos is angry about it though as I enjoyed the movie without taking him along. So, after watching the movie, I sent this message to my friends in one of the WhatsApp groups:

Me: Ki & Ka is awesome.
Friend 1: I heard it is waste of time.
Me: No, I really like it. Finally, some movie on egalitarianism, role reversal, and anti-gender policing.
Friend 2: You are telling like this, but the whole social media is trashing the movie.
Friend 1: Yes people are abusing Balki.
