Vindaloo orginates from Goa and so there’s was no way I was going to miss trying it whilst here. When last in Goa I bottled it, opting for the lesser spicy dishes as I’d not even had Vindaloo in England, but now I can handle hotter dishes. I’d almost ordered it at the Leda restaurant … Read more
Didn’t get time to upload this short video in my previous post:
Today we visited the most talked about restaurant in the whole of Hampi, which to be fair doesn’t have many restaurants. We had no idea exactly where it was but Dad knew roughly the direction, so we just wandered off trying to see if we could find it. Walking along the riverside we noticed a … Read more
If I had to answer a question on what’s been the best part of the trip so far then I’d have to say that spending time with people I’ve known online for a while, met through friends of theirs or the residents of the homestay would have to top the list. These are pretty strong … Read more
…I’m travelling the land that created Britain’s favourite food and (for the second time) I’ve eaten at Domino’s Pizza. Okay, okay, I’m sorry. But in my defence I did have a Lamb Dupiaza pizza, so surely I’ve not been too bad!
Here’s a couple of short videos from our stay at the homestay in Orchha. scroll down… This first one is the breakfast served at Malti’s house: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pplpDsSP6ws This second one is some footage of the kids playing and having fun in Ganj, the little village near Orchha where all … Read more
Kesar da Dhaba is a low-key restaurant and a hidden gem in the dark, narrow backstreets of old Amritsar town. I don’t know the true meaning of ‘dhaba’ but in my view they seem to be places that are for the locals, have a fast turn around of food and generally offer food the way … Read more
On Sunday having had a wonderful lunch with Madhu we had loosely planned to meet another friend again with the intention of taking him, or his family too, out to dinner. The loose plans looked like collapsing due to my lack of Internet connectivity and the problems with my mobile but we sorted out a … Read more
The Delhi part of our trip was always about meeting friends I’d made through IndiaMike.com or Facebook or both. On Saturday night it was our Food Enthusiasts of Delhi evening with Shashank, Sunday morning should have been about Yogesh and lunchtime was all about Madhu. I “met” Madhu through IndiaMike and his own blog 10YearItch.com, … Read more
Last night we became temporary members of the Food Enthusiasts of Delhi, or FED for short. The FEDs are organised by a guy named Shashank, whom I’ve got to know on the Internet – yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking, it sounds dodgy! – over the last year or two. As the name suggests … Read more
In the previous post about Karim’s there were lots of photos but there’s also a video of ours you can watch.
On Friday night we visited Karim’s Hotel for our first dinner of the holiday. Although it’s called Karim’s Hotel you can’t actually sleep here – unless you’re a kebab! Karim’s is down a small alleyway and most tourists would get lost trying to find it as there is no sign or anything. The only giveaway … Read more
