Kolkata's Puchka's and Jhaal Muri

Kolkata is the place for street food ! Puchka's and Jhaal Muri, you will find them probably at all major joints in the city. Though good one's are at Russell Street, Hindustan Park, outside South City Mall to name a few..In picture is Puchka wala outside South City mall. Puchka or Pani Puri of Mumbai or Gol Gappa of Delhi are the real treat, if one wants to add a tingy taste in the mouth. Any name you call them, you will love these rounded stuff made up of flour but served with masala, chana, potato or +++ and off course with spicy pudina water served by dipping fingers of the one who is serving them in the earthen pot (or a vessel).........One love's them on street though places like Haldiram at Ballygunj has a good stuff but street ones along with friends are just great !

Bharawan da dhaba, Amristar

There are two dhabas in Amristar..old one and famour one is known as Bharawan da Dhaba while other one which is run by brother who was partner in earlier one is Brother's Dhaba. Both are famous with visitors though bit expensive and not so great. Brother's dhaba had good chinese while other one had good Indian food.

Hotel Claridges, Surajkhund - Rooms with mosquitoes !

The Claridges Surajkund is located in Faridabad, about an hours drive from Delhi airport terminal 3. It has nice plush rooms, (but with miser housekeeping !). In night lightening is quite great. Rooms are nice but you will have mosquitos in night.

The hotel still has not found a way to get rid of mosquitos and at night they will be over your ears ! so be prepared for it, if you are staying there. Carry your anti mosquito repellant. Breakfast is nice, though at dinner you have limited choices...
