Which Sandwich @ Subway

Hi There... I wanted to express my addiction to this form of healthy / unhealthy food - Sandwhich @ Subway.. It happened this way that when I was in Malaysia - Penang, I realised that there was not a restaurant that understood the term Veg!!. The restaurant called Mumbai House in Penang said they would give me veg food. He said, he can cook a biriyani in the normal way and take the chicken out of it.?!?!?!? very difficult for we indian veggies...
Then I happen to go to Suway and was amazed to see two counters Veg & Non Veg.. What else would I need. I started having it in the afternoon and Dinner. And now am kind of addicted to this food.
Subway allows you to customise the sandwich with four / five types of bread. The second step would be with/without cheese. Then it would be toasted /untoasted, veggies to be added, sauces as a topping, and then lastly Salt+Pepper.
My normal order would be the Veggie Delight - Parmesan bread, all veggies+extra olives at no cost, Cheese ofcourse, Sauces - Southwest, mayonniese, Salt+pepper.

Now the new thing that I wanted to mention here is the new Sub of the day. This is the real icing on the cake. Normally, the veggie delight would cost Rs.80. The Sub of the day is an offer from Subway Sandwich which discounts the sandwich to Rs.50. So now I see when Veggie delight is the sub of the day and it is Sandwich only that day.

Enjoy the sub of the day pricing to feel the difference....

Kailash Parbat @ Velachery

Now Kailash Parbat is at Velachery. Wonder what is so special?

This is one of the outlets at the ground floor of Naidu Hall building situated at 100 Ft Road of Velachery, just off the Vijay Nagar bus terminus.

We happen to visit there on our way to French Loaf and ended up trying this outlet. I have been writing that I am a north Indian foodie. This is the first restaurant where I found the authentic punjabi Chola Batura (otherwise in Chennai it is Chola Poori only). The mix of the spices, the serving method, the add-ons were exactly Punjabi in style. This restaurant specialises in a niche north indian food. One may refer this as a Chart Corner. Just like the Chola Batura, the taste of a bhel puri will remind you of the Mumbai Chowpatty without the beach side. The place is clean and is worth a try in the evening.

Now if you want to freak out here, forget your belly size and just be there to workout the taste buds.

My recommendation if this is the first visit, try out the Cheese Chola Batoore (they would give you two for a price of Rs.70). The fact that this is one of the few good veggie restaurant in and around Velachery, let us be prepared to wait in the crowd for this finger licking food.

The other outlets are in Harrington Road, and Nungambakkam. How do you find the taste of those outlets. Any thoughts..........
