I’m unsure if it were the semblance of Kolkata or the ambient archaic charm - painstakingly preserved in antiquated pillars and noisy fans, that moored me to Koshy’s of Bangalore for life. There I glimpsed a changeless Bangalore – spiritedly protecting all that is beautiful and eternal in the city - be it the mellowed patrons or an ‘unalterable’ menu that had fed the urban highbrows for years. Koshy’s remained since long a yielding aperture letting the fatigued city-dwellers conveniently sneak into a cherished and delicious past. Chicken sandwiches with a potful of tea were all that I had there this time. Filling, authentic and fresh. The jiggling caramel custard, with a characteristic burnt crust, ended my brief talk with the mystique of Koshy’s.
I love good-food. And, I love writing about it too. Having never found taste in penning insipid narratives, I sought stories and trivia that had grown around ‘Eating’ - some instantly, some over a period and some across generations. Therefore, my page shares stories wherein food plays the protagonist. Good-food pleases and bad-food teaches. So I owe as much to good ones as bad. And, I always pay for what I flaunt.
