fraser town food frenzy

moved to Frazer town in Dec 2009. Not the idle place to loose a few pounds! there are eatiers at every corner, lil shops and fast foods and a 2-3 upper market restaurants.

so we did the wise thing and quickly set up kitchen so we can cook some meals at home. not n easy thing - reviving our expensive elf lpg, then calling him back for a tube ...

So we had a few oppurtunities to try the Darshinis (besides Indira Darshini near Coles Park on MM Road, one more opposite 'Casio Gifts' on Mosque Road) well - besides the idly dosa, ok rotis when you want to go wallet-light.

Other places I liked :

the bread joint  near Casio - great whole wheat and broken wheat, nice chicken burgers (without cheese), do not try the KFC wanna be chicken.the sales guy speaks English but apparently not very well or does not care. he's friendly enough but when i ordered a burger without mayo or butter or cheese; I got one - with all 3!
For a tastier burger (chicken patty better too) head across the street to

11th Cross. Met these people at the Bangalore Habba too, where even in the rush, when Strings paused for a break, they made me a burger with just the salad leave, some ketchep and the chicken, aah yumm, Tea was feesh and well made too. Something that is nigh impossible to get in most Darshini's (just stick to the coffee unless you want to risk a walk on the over cooked tea side.)


Chung wah has nice ambience and better food than Taiwan (or is is it Taipan - at the crossing of Coles and Mosque Roads) - especially dislike the lighting and twice the vegetables were very old, but for an Ok meal , nice mucic, ok service, etremely Rupee friendly - Taiwan is good to go, we will go there at lesat once a month.

Today, 31st went to one of the muslim joints on MM Road, this one advertises Paya and mutton keema, but alas it was 8pm but the rotis were not ready so I left and settled for a dosa. hey its the last day of the year so gave a pass to whole-wheat with tomatoes breakka today.

Hotels and restaurantes in Bangalore

Hotels and restaurants in Bangalore

http://www.chancerypavilion.com/pavilion

At our first party in 2006 April loved the chocolate fountain. The hotel was not fully operational then. After that it has come a long way. When I got married we were spoilt at the ghana, then at the suite. especially thoughtful staff who helped my new bride with a dress emergency. Ate breakka-lunch-dinner there for 3 days straight and did not get bored with the food. with most 5 starts its 3 meals at most and then need to go out for a change! Coffee shop serves awesome pizza and value for money buffets.

The swimming pool is tiny, but the gym is well equipped and the instructor was very helpful, the one time I did make it there.


ghana == Punjabi - pre wedding party with song, dance and spirits!
