Kevin here:
Obviously food factored large in our trip back to India! The very first two photos feature breakfast at the YWCA in Delhi--you old India hands will enjoy the sugar. Then comes airplane food. It wasn't too bad--being served a hot meal at 35,000 feet.
Thai food was next--notice the small baskets of sticky rice. And of course the "American Breakfast" at our Bangkok hotel.
Kwalities is a must for all India hands, some of the yummiest food in Delhi. That can always be followed by chai and Parle Glucose biscuits.
Check out the south India food. And how about the waiter cooling down the coffee! That huge ghee dosa was a real treat.
The final photo is a tray of tea at the Taj Palace Hotel where Rebecca and I went to pretend we were rich.
It was wonderful being back there. We'd love to return sometime.
How did the photo of that bathroom get in there?
I'm looking at these pictures before I've had breakfast. Makes me YEARN. We actually have an Indian restaurant in Billings now! Think I'll have to go for lunch today :)
ReplyDeleteKevinji. Great shots! Really they evoke the smells, tastes and atmosphere of the places you ate them! Will take Kwality's over airline food anytime too. I like taking photos of food too, a weird sort of interest isn't it? Great to have you in the blogosphere! Hopefully India visits will be more regular for you in future....
ReplyDeleteTake care big brother.
The waiter is mixing coffee decoction and milk. This vigorous mixing brings out the coffee's flavour and results in the stiff froth on the South Indian 'Kapi.'
ReplyDeleteSome coffee vendors are a delight to watch as they throw coffee from one mug to another, across two hands, without spilling a drop!
