Food.
One of my most favorite parts of India.
It is everywhere: every street corner, on the train, even strangers offer it to you. India takes its food extremely seriously. Where ever I go the first thing anyone ever asks me is "saptingla?" or have you eaten? And to answer that question: SAPTEN baby, too much sappadu (food).
So the question is if there are tons of places to eat, (and I shouldn't use the term "places" because that would limit food vendors on the go), where the heck do I eat?!
To put it simply: EVERYWHERE. Well, not yet... my god I think that would be impossible. But I will be doing a post on food eventually but the greatness of the momos must be shared with the world at this very instance; It cannot wait.
Momos. Basically a dumpling. Well not just a dumpling. It is a soft, fried, greasy, flavor-bursting, noodle, chicken filled-heaven sent from God himself. Laura found this place one day coming back from placement and our lives haven't been the same since. For those who may plan to go to Chennai in their life time and find themselves in Tambaram East, check out this place. Its called Ever Green Chinese Fast Food and it is just a bit off of Camp Road. I know what you are thinking, Chinese food in India?! Don't hate, the Chinese food is totally different here and worth trying, it is so so much better. The place isn't what I would call luxury dining. It is cheap & fast, (putting Lindy's Diner to shame!) Momos cost between $1.11-$1.29 depending if you want steamed or fried. The foreigners are split 50/50 between which is better, I'm on team fried. Also, they have fantastic noodles/rice that will cost just about $1 for a heaping plate. I am a fan of the Singapore noodles, they never disappoint.
Well this post was a little food-criticy. Oh well, now you know.
NOMS TO THE WORLD!

Nice post -- but I still can't figure out if that is your thumb in the picture. It doesn't really look like it!
