The Johnson’s Cafe , Manali

We had not planned the recent road trip to Manali so obviously we weren’t prepared with the must visit places , given the short 2 day trip . While river Beas was travelling besides us, I happened to see her closer when we were reaching The Tranquil Inn and saw a restaurant which was filled with foreigners . For some reason I happened to check with Ms. Google and she said in Manali eating Trout Fish is a must and my friend in the car mentioned that she wanted to eat it and that she heard rave reviews about it. Then  Johnson’s cafe it is screamed Ms.Google with some great ratings on trip advisor and the plan was made .

Bruschetta with egg plant

The next day we decided to visit the most famous cafe for the Trout Fish only as the dinner we wanted to devour was waiting for us at the hotel 🙂 . We had our priorities right you see . We went to this place which had the feel of pondicherry and was almost empty thanks to the rains and the off season perhaps? Trance music was playing loudly at the bar area and we chose to sit in one quaint corner  . The order was white wine , trout fish , butter garlic – grilled , bruschetta with egg plant . My friends wanted to eat masala fried fish but the only option they had was the one we ordered . My order came in first obviously easiest to make the bruschetta and it was delicious . My friends enjoyed the Trout Fish and was all praises for it . We polished off our respective dishes and left the place smiling ,for good food always makes one happy . Its an Aye ! from us . The next time you are in Manali , you know where to eat The Trout Fish 🙂

#SriRaghavendraStores

If you are a Bangalorean this name will sound familiar , a place that serves bisi bisi idli (piping hot) , shavigae bath , upma , kesari bath and rice with coffee /tea. After my sunday run we decided to head to malleswaram and since it was long since I visited Raghavendra stores we decided to head there . It took about 15 mins to reach on a sunday morning and I was surprised to notice that there was hardly any crowd there unless every other time, was it my luck or the sunday morning laziness I wondered nevertheless thanked my stars and went ahead and ordered . Ordered one plate idli, and one plate idli with vada . It came in soaked in chutney .

IMG_6580This is the way lot of places serve idli esp around malleswaram and most of them who visit there raise their eyebrows on learning that there is no Sambhar and I smile at them 😉 . The chutney is unlimited if that question popped in your head . In my opinion there are far more better places in the surroundings which serve nicer idlis but one has to visit this place atleast once for the name it carries and ofcourse palette varies , you might simply fall in love . So its an aye from me , go try I say .
