Accompany Me On My Journeys

Second week of December I was off to Delhi to spend a week of quality time with my sister. My agenda was to enjoy the weather and shop. Sight-seeing was barely even part of the itinerary.

The List: M-Block, Sarojini Nagar, Janpath, Lajpat Nagar and Carol Bagh.

It was an extensive list to begin with and the budget was pretty tight. Inspite of the hurdles I managed to cover most of the above and managed to buy sweaters, stoles, t-shirts, harems pants and lamps for the sister, mother, boyfriend, birthday girl, aunt and myself. My verdict: Sarojini is by far the best place for street shopping.

Other highlights: Steaming Tandoori Momos from QDs melt in your mouth and the best thing is they don't even taste like momos! A must try!

The All American Diner: My sister took me here for their breakfast buffet. Each of us opted for the slightly steep but totally worth it, unlimited buffet and what a jolly good time we had! What to expect? Egg pies, croissants, breads, muffins, cereals, fruits, juices, it was typically filling, English breakfast.The ambiance as you can see in the picture is flashy and extremely vibrant with an interesting collection of vintage ads and photographs of cars, bikes and an entire wall dedicated to Elvis Presley! True shinning brilliance. Situated in the Habitat Center, the American Diner is an exuberant experience that also empties your pockets.

The legendary hot chocolate fudge. Try it!

 Nirula's


 This place is synonymous with hot-chocolate fudge. They were the
 first to bring the yummy dessert to india....Hmmmmmm.
 Got distracted there with the memory of the vanilla ice-cream oozing with rich chocolate, topped with chocolate chips and nuts.......hmmmmmmm!

 Its another thing to enjoy ice-cream in freezing 7 degrees temperature. Its a different kind of ecstasy as the chilling ice-cream goes down your spine and you shiver with delight. A first for me.

 For the entire menu of the restaurant, check the official websites here , here and the wiki.

ps:  The last poll results were quite uncomplicated: Qs: What do you eat when abroad/out of town. 87% people said local cuisine, whereas one person said Indian food, Italian, 5-stars, fruits, Thai and Chinese got no votes. Well done voters! Great choice. Local cuisine should always be examined and savoured!
