a new place pops up

Chi: a fusion joint in SDA market. Wonder how long it will survive. I cannot make up my mind about whether I like it or now. The ambiance was great, the food palatable, the lamp shades unusual. The place was surprisingly empty even on a Friday night, but given it stays open until 1am, may be people show up later? I liked the plates and the pots, quite stylish and elegant. Overall had a good relaxing evening, but then again the place didnt fit among its surroundings. May be thats how Delhi is overall -- mixed surprises ...

old delhi

Along with Devasree, I ventured out yet again deep into old Delhi. Well may be its a bit of an overstatement, we just went to Khari Baoli, and then towards Jama Masjid crawling through a dense maze of rickshaws, cars, cycles, what not. We were carrying too much stuff (from the many stores of Khari Boali) making movement sluggish and restricted. The highlight was stopping by at Mi'ans shack for a helping of gola kebab, also known as sutli kebab (being too soft, they have to be delicately held with sting before starting to grill over charcoal). To say the least, it was heavenly. Ok more later.
