Good Samosas in Jaya Nagar 3rd Block

Since Ramzan has started, you can find the best quality Ramzan Special Iftar Samosa, crispy with onions and vegetables at Jaya Nagar 3rd Block, in the road that connect Sagar Appollo to Jaya Nagar 4th Block Shopping Complex.

Last year they sold each piece at Rs 2.50 today afternoon it was Rs 3.50. 40% extra, inflation is really running high. My Muslim friends would break the fast with a cup of Tea and Samosa costing them Rs 5/-. But today it would be Rs 6.5/- 30% increase due to inflation.

Also ate lunch at Navami, Andhra restaurant (with family as Kids were off for Gowri Festival), it is a veg and non veg place, but we ate veg meals, Gobi Manchurian and Butter Naan for kids. Very tasty though! With the new 12.5% taxes for AC hotels, works out expensive. (I paid the cost of what we used to pay for whole family buffet at Residency on GN Chetty Road, Chennai).

MTR near Lalbagh is getting lousy

Recently went to MTR with family. First of all there is no parking. Where should you park the car? The management should have a valet parking service for a cost!
I parked it on JC Road lot, walked by the back gate, rached Urvasi and turned right to MTR - about 15 minutes for a lousy service at MTR.
First of all, they charged half (more?) for my kids, who didnt eat anything other than 2 pooris.
The waiters are smelly and unkempt. Luckily the food tasted good, but my wife cribbed, "again!". SHe them to the core, tastes worst than the home food. We go to hotels to have different tasty food isnt it? (of course forget the quantitiy you binge on outside, than home).

It was 3 PM, and we were in the last pandhi and got out and found that we have to exit by the back door, through the smelly kitchen. Wogh! No more visits to MTR after seeing rats and cockroaches running around there, if still you want the food of Mangalore - Mavalli.
