If you have not tried any Indian food other than Parotta or Prata, you basically doesnt know much about south indian food !!! South Indian breakfast is very different...  damn tasty ... It is predominantly consists of 5 items... Idly - Steamed rice cake; Dosa or Thosai - pancake from fermented rice batter; Puri - deep fried wheat / maida bread; medhu vada - deep fried doughnut shaped, made out of urad dal; Pongal - made out of rice, turmeric and some pepper and another variety with rice and moong dal; Upma - thick porridge from semi fried semolina. It comes with lot of side dish... Sambar - vegetable based lentil stew, cooked with tamarind broth; also called as Dal by Malaysians. Chutneys - white coloured coconut chutney, coriander, tomato and mint combination; Also there is one melaga podi or gun power which can be given separately or served as separate item called Podi Idly. This one is damn tasty but little more spicy. Beware while you eat Pongal - it can m...

I was brought down in Chennai, Tamil Nadu where the only season is Summer. There is a bit of dew in Dec/Jan ... but it is mainly hot, hotter and hottest days over there !!! I was looking forward for the heavy winter when I worked at Manchester in 2011/2012.  But I had to take a train to Buxton to feel and enjoy the snow in Feb 2012.  Snow level was decent and I fell in love with the white cover as soon as I stepped out of rail station. I bought a hot coffee and started exploring by foot. Best part of the experience for me was the slippery feeling I had when I was walking over the snow & I definitely slipped down once ! But I ended up enjoying the little pain although.  I also found it difficult to adjust the sun against the white sand / snow... I got some help from my cool shades (sun glass) although.  Why I remembered to write about this is I live in Singapore now and I don't even need to pack my clothes when I go Bali or Ban...

For almost a year now, I wanted to visit Capella. My curiosity factor increased after the visit of American President Trump to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during June 2018. I ended dining this weekend at Capella and I loved every bit of the ambience, fabulous architecture and the wonderful crew who was taking care. Self and my friend made a reservation at Bob's bar, parked the car and took the elevator at 2nd floor. As we spent some time at Silosa beach before going Capella, we refreshed at the restroom before taking our seats. We were hosted by a smiling, service minded crew with a nice view overlooking the pool and sea... We ordered the cocktails first with a newspaper like Menu Card with wide variety to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised by their own Rum coming from West Indies too. Fabulous live music was also being performed with 2 guitarists and one Cello player. Music was soothing and made our mood pleasant while the rain cloud was...

Singapore Botanical Garden is quite unique place. It is in the middle of city but still cant hear much of noise, buzz inside the compound. & National orchid garden is located inside the Botanical garden. You need to pay 5$ ticket for entry and it is normally open between 830am to 7pm. Once you buy the ticket and enter, you can either go by left or right. Normally, people go on the left hand side. If you take right hand on side, you will end up going against traffic. I am very impressed with year round care and cultivation of the 200 different plants inside the garden. Great work team and you make us to keep coming back again and again !!! While you walk along, there is a kind of circular place and it has lot of Orchid flowers... if my memory is right, it is called "Cool Place". Here, you will see a vast display of Orchids and carnivorous plants. Personally, I love staring at flowers... it gives me immense peace of mind and freshness ... a...

I landed up at Elemen at Millenia Walk. My friend invited me for dinner.. glanced the portal before and saw some pics.. Liked it., so I said, lets go. But I didnt see the 8 course option till I opened the menu card !!! My friend said, you should go for the full dinner and can help with sharing some of my food - which is a no brainer for me. I ordered it. Appetiser and the bread was very good. My guess the middle portion item had sesame and it was bit sour - but not too bad. Tomato was so tasty and soft. Bread was little herbal too.  I opted for Rojak fruit salad - which was too good - pineapple and dragon fruit was mouth watering and the fried or crispy item was so tempting...  Soup - was not very hot... in fact little less than room temperature.... but had little bit of rice and pepper and very tasty. They also served Apple Cider before serving mains - like a shot drink. Hope the readers know how to drink apple cider carefully as ...

The Russian capital of Moscow can be described in one word... Magnificient. Why ? It is the sheer size ... be it Red Square, metro stations, victory park or the Moskva river etc etc. I stayed at Weekend Inn Apartments at Ulitsa Pyatnitskaya ... it had a weird elevator.. but room was good and had a decent common kitchen. What i loved was the proximity to Red Square..... kind of 1 km walk and a starbucks shop on its way ! Out of the all the cathedrals you visit, Saint Basil is very unique... it is some kind of fusion architecture, colorful. It has a character and the best part... it looks same on what you saw on wall posts or videos on new channels... Red Square has lot of attractions like Lenin's Mausoleum, Kazan cathedral and Kremlin and they are all unique in its own way. Moscow's metro stations are so huge. It is like some 5 storey escalators... and superb, lavish mosaics, sculputres and stained glass art work. Do not miss visiting these fabulous metro sta...
