My taste buds have been very active these days.<\/p>\n
I got down from a bus this evening and walked to my house a kilometer away, giving some business to all small eateries on the way. My first pit-stop was to buy a Rs.2 pack of roasted groundnuts from a cart-vendor who usually stood next to a bus-stop. Before I was done with the pack, I arrived at the juice-center I regularly haunt, and asked for a pineapple juice. Next, I paused briefly at a bakery, thinking of buying a Butterscotch Cornetto, but decided to skip it at the last moment. I then visited a nearby tender coconut vendor instead. After coconut, I was keen to stop for a helping of deep fried small vade<\/span>, but they were not ready yet. My next temptation was sugar canes(not the juice, but cane itself), which have been in my mind for a long time, but gave it a miss too, thinking of the struggle involved in eating it. But I would have loved to be eating all of them – the vade<\/span>, sugarcane and cornetto.

Groundnuts have been an old temptation, but pineapple juice is a new craving that started after I had a glass of it at Koshy<\/span>‘s a few months ago. But my hunger is not limited to street food – I have been restaurant hopping a lot lately.<\/p>\n I went big on eating out only recently, starting by devouring Raviolis at Fiorano<\/span> a few months ago. More Italian food happened with Little Italy<\/span>‘s excellent pasta preparations. And then Barbecue Nation<\/span>‘s grills were appetizing. There was simpler food on the menu too – Shanti Sagar<\/span>‘s oota<\/span>, rich with veggies and neer dosa<\/span> from Emgees<\/span> have never failed me.<\/p>\n Ice Creams are another temptation I can’t keep off. The ice cream binge started six months ago in Delhi when I ate Butterscotch Pralines at CP’s Saravana Bhavan twice a day for three continuous days. After that, it was fig and honey in Corner House<\/span> which had me addicted. Discovering Gelatissimo<\/span> is the highlight of my ice cream raids: their Irish Coffee and Sizzling Brownie Sundae are not easy to resist. But Cream and Fudge<\/span> failed to make a mark, though there were some expectations before I went there.<\/p>\n No matter what I eat, the good old masala dosa and uddina vade<\/span> will always remain the favourites. I always end up yearning for these after a few days of exotica, and go for them like I had never seen them before. It has already been a while since I have had a masala dosa. The unusually expensive new menu at South Indies<\/span> and the waiter’s question – “what gravy would you like to order with dosa” – put me off from ordering one recently. After a go at a large variety of sizzlers at 5 Elements<\/span> yesterday, I am now looking forward to a good dosa at one of the good old places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My taste buds have been very active these days.
