Streetcar Named Desire
Been wanting to post on this for a while now and came across this in Teakadai
All junk food junkies and kayyendhi bhavan aficionados would have their personal favorites of their own streetcars named gastronomic-desire.
Mine starts from that Bhel Puri vandi in Saibaba Colony, Coimbatore. At Rs.3/5 per plate [1989-1993], you had value for money meeting taste. Magic! It was as unauthentic as it got, but who complains as long as it tastes great, eh?
There are two in Anna Nagar, Chennai.
One is Shankar Chat Bandar opposite Jessie Mosses school, where you get, in my not so humble opinion, the best chat in the country [that includes Delhi proper, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Bangalore].
The other, is the best place for breakfast in Chennai. Its located right opposite to Anna Tower. On a hungry "hung-over" morning, eating pongal vadai and poori masal is an experience in itself. The food is not only supremely tasty, its surprisingly hygienic too. Not to be missed at any cost.
It would be unfair not to mention Shankar Kadai in Bazaar Street, Ulsoor. It has sated my hunger many a morning and evening. Thank you, Shankar.

I used to love one such unauthentic bhel puri from a Kaiyendhi Bhavan near SIET bus stop.
