Dinner with Architects...

A dinner with fellow Architects Stephen Chow, Terry Tang and Abhishek Srivastava at the Sette mara restaurant at the St Regis, Mumbai. Stephen and Terry are from Hongkong. Since it was Terry's first India visit, he was eager to tryout Indian food. So our hotel GM ensured we get some authentic Mugalai and north Indian dishes from the Chef at Sahib room.

Grand Anjappar at Salem

While driving from Bangalore to Madurai, we generally cross the Salem belt around lunch time and we always miss good food along this Highway stretch. We tried the Salem Raddison on our way to Madurai and it was a big disappointment. So on our return we wanted to try some place new and randomly chose the Grand Anjappar by G Cube Hotels. It turned our to be a very good experience...quite an unexpected Chettinad cusine in Salem.

The ambience was pleasant and the service was extremely good. Happy to have finally found a good restaurant in this NH stretch...

My wife tried the veg thali...

Me and Nithila tried their Ceylon chicken parotta, nattukoli chops and egg kalaki

Mutton sukka starters - yummy!

Bun parota

Elaneer payasam - delicious!

Nithilas favorite Brownie with Ice-cream!
