I have nothing but hazy low res photos hastily snapped with my blackberry for this post. And even though the shoddiness of it all pains me, STABS me to the core, shatters me to smithereens…still, I must tell you this … Continue reading

When you shop till you drop, then a Pani Puri you must pop.
The past week really hasn’t had any food breakthroughs for me. I haven’t hunted out any hidden shacks. I haven’t tracked much of what’s been happening on the local food blogging scene. And in a moment of desperation, I even … Continue reading
Born in the hands of a fruit cake maestro
My dad has 9 brothers and sisters, designed and cast in the city of Hyderabad, India. On average, they each have had 2.89 of the individuals that claim to be my first cousins. 57.70% of this generation has manufactured grandchildren, … Continue reading
Spicy Venue set my tongue ablaze…and I still crawled back to beg for more.
The name says it all – ‘Spice wimps, Beware.’ Andhra food can be some of the spiciest fare that you’d find across India, and Spicy Venue does full justice to tongue-burning tradition by serving up raw, unadulterated spice guaranteed to … Continue reading

Eating like locals…juicy barbecqued kababs at Bade Miyan, Hyderabad.
I never feel like I’ve totally discovered the food scene in a city until I’ve hit up at least one roadside shack that’s a total hole-in-the-wall, where all the locals get their shawarmas in Dubai/cheesesteaks in Philly/vada pav in Mumbai/coffee … Continue reading
My quest for the unreal deal, only at Mainland China in Hyderabad.
Yin and I were out on a quest for Indianized Chinese food in Hyderabad. We wanted the totally fake, totally bastardized deal where every dish had been modified to meet the standards of a crowd that’s grown up on dals and … Continue reading
Dosas at Chutneys in Hyderabad
I love dosas. There’s something about how South Indians ladle out fermented rice and lentil batter and grill it up till brown and crispy that totally rocks my world. I love dosas in all their inifinite forms. The gigantic two … Continue reading
