What?!? How is this the first time I am hearing about an Oktoberfest in Bangalore?
I ordered a Kingfisher Draught and they bring this can out which has the word “DRAUGHT” printed in huge block letters on the back. Sorry guys, this is NOT a draught, but it was still great on this hot day.
Oh my goodness, was this a sight for sore, semi-vegetarian eyes. Sunny’s, Bangalore, India.
This is probably the only time in my life I will ever be able to say this truthfully… It’s already December 13th and today I saw my first Christmas-related decoration or advertisement of the year. UB City Mall, Bangalore, India.
Another Goan specialty: chicken in a Xacuti (“shakuti”) coconut and red chili curry sauce. 21 Coconuts Restaurant, Arambol Beach, Goa, India.
Eggplant crisped like French fries…delicious! Gecko Cafe, Arambol Beach, Goa, India.
A Goan specialty: chicken in a spicy vindaloo sauce–red chilis, garlic, graham masala and vinegar. I savored every bite of this dish with a side of garlic naan. Easily one of my favorite meals of India!
Another tasty veggie burger, unlike ANY veg burger I’ve had in the States. Definitely a meal I will try to recreate at home. Served with fries and an unsatisfying tomato, cabbage, red onion salad.
Drinking a tall cup of espresso before finishing a plate of hummus and tomato with pita bread; Arambol, Goa, India.
Here’s what I have planned loosely through January 2011:
Dec 13: Bangalore, India
Dec 16: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (with a short visit to Singapore?) Dec 24: Jakarta, Indonesia
Dec 25/26th: Bali, Indonesia
Jan 26: Vietnam
Beach huts run about $6 per night in Arambol.
