so let's get started good morning good morning guys greetings from bengaluru
india today we're hungry and we've brought our appetites we're going to be
having south indian breakfast at an institution behind us it was
basically called ctr and also known as saga yeah it's one of the most sought
after tipping rooms in the city and people have been coming here for
years and so popular that people come from over 50 kilometers just to have a
breakfast so we're here today to check out their
dosa their tasty and
the coffee oh my gosh i can't wait
all right it's show time we waited about 15 minutes now we got a table
hi you
another day another delicious soup indian breakfast i'm so excited for this
we've ordered a whole bunch of different things but the first two dishes have
arrived we kicked off breakfast with chow chow
badh which is a combination of two semolina dishes
we had keisari bad which is a sweet version with various spices and dried
fruits and kerapad which is the savory version
with chili curry leaves and coconut chutney for
extra spice
you got your sweet over here and you have your spicy over there you mix them
together you get a chow chow chow chow bag i
can't wait for you to try the combination as well
oh my gosh okay let's dig in
oh my gosh our coconut chutney is incredible yeah it's so rich and spicy
and then the consistency of this it's like a savory polenta kind of
it has a mushy mash consistency all right shall we try the sweet one too
let's go okay i see a big piece of fruit
right there wow look at the raisins
that's like almost like a dessert yeah it's delicious
oh my gosh i love this i absolutely love it and we still have a dosage to come
yes then it was time for doses the dosa had
a nice crispy golden brown exterior and it was very spongy and fluffy on the
inside it was stuffed with potato masala with
chili shallots and curry leaves this was paired with a coconut chutney
and a spicier chili mint coconut chutney it was quite similar to the previous
day's breakfast but also unique since every restaurant gives this dish its own
twist so the star of the show has arrived the
main event for breakfast here we have two different kinds of dosas so
what kind did you get so i just went for the regular plain
vene dosa okay and uh yours is the beni masala open it
you have the potato let's lift the hood here there
you go oh wow look at the potato right there
and you can see how crispy yeah it's very crispy and dense
like when you're touching it you can actually hear the crunch of the
crispiness we've been having amazing doses on this trip to india
like it changed my opinion of what my favorite breakfast is in india
it's it's not peranta or something it's dosa absolutely hands down
grabbing some of this with the coconut oh my god
how could something taste that good david what are we gonna do when we can't
have dosa anymore luckily i know a few indian restaurants
in miami that do it for me and i'm just out of luck where my wife
where my wife is staying in brampton is a big indian population
oh so i'm gonna have to look for some doses there make some friends over there
check out this line this place is perpetually packed
there's always a line there's every table full and for good reason the food
is wonderful
after breakfast we said goodbye to abhishek and made plans to meet up again
later for dinner in the meantime we met up with anishwara
and continued our food tour of bangalore (bengaluru) so let's head to george street today for
some good iced coffee yes at indian coffee house sounds great
yeah then let's figure out what to do and
then we'll figure out the rest of the day
so walking down church street here it's a pretty posh area
and there's a lot of restaurants a lot of greenery
church street is located in bangalore (bengaluru) central business district
and it's a popular tour spot given all the food options and shopping available
plus it's also a nice place to walk around

yo what'd you get nirvana i've been wanting to get this shirt for a long
time this story is great man they've got all
kinds of things besides swim shirts and ball caps
they also have really cool figurines on that far end i'm pumped guys because
we're going for coffee and if there's one thing that i've
missed not really having very often in india
is coffee i've been drinking a lot of chai which has been fantastic but you
know what i do crave my coffee from time to time
hot or cold coffee friends coffee coffee all the way
it's so hot outside it's way too hot 90 degrees
30 degrees where i come from if you touch my
my beard it's like so visible oh wow super fast service thank you sir welcome

freezing cold that's the most important part one go go go go go go go go go
chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug
chug and done
are you crazy that's your second one i know
it's perfect i'm awake ready to go
having cooled off we continued exploring church street and checked out some of
the cool murals with street art you can find in the area
after a bit of walking we were ready to eat again this time we went to nagarjuna
a restaurant specializing in andhra cuisine
all good restaurants in india have what in common a big queue a big queue the
reason for that is because there's so many people in india all these cities
are like 10 million people yeah so the good restaurants they're
packed packed check out this one of the coolest things about this
restaurant is the menu is shaped like a banana leaf
check that out it's so cool open it up and here are some of the main meals that
you can get served on a banana leaf it was freaking
hot it was how are you guys enjoying the ac
in here
we ordered a banana leaf tally with a whole bunch of different curries to try
to give you a little tour of the banana leaf we had chicken nagarjuna
with lots of spices rice with ghee doll with spinach
peanut chutney sambal rasam papad and more
let's dig in
look at this wonderful spread so it's all here
on the banana leaf like there's so much going on
i wouldn't say it's overwhelming it's exciting it's exciting
so this is gun powder oh gun powder gum powder so you put it okay don't mix
it with like all of your eyes so i'm separating my rice
make sure you have a ufc in that rice i've got some ghee in there and just
go to town right mix it up yeah your favorite part
my favorite part i feel like when you do this you're like you're earning your
bite right here you know you're putting some work into it
okay give give gives the rice some extra flavor and delayed onset of spice too
over here
okay you want to try the chicken i do i do i respect that you're going to find
it too spicy okay
oh that's great smoke no yeah smoking on the outside
tender i wouldn't say it's that juicy it has more of like that smoky tandoori
taste okay the spice is starting to hit
i always feel like i'm i'm a little bit cocky i'm like oh that's not so spicy
and then i have by the second or three buttermilk oh
yeah i've noticed that yep that's rasam that's gonna be more
sleepy more soupy okay pour in just a little bit just a little
bit this time it went it went overboard last time oh i
think i went overboard again i just can't help it with the currys i
spill them on the rice it's kind of like kind of light so as you start with a
heavy stuff heavy raining of your meal right
and then slowly like it it gets light and then you cool down with curd rice
oh it's purely strategic yeah it's very strategic
yeah you're right that's very light it does have taste but it's not
it's not strong it doesn't hit you that hard so what what exactly is inside
it has it's basically rice pudding rice pudding yeah it has
like um cashews cashews some dry fruits okay so it's going to be a little bit
nutty and fruity and it's like creamy it's very creamy i see
a big cashew very creamy oh yeah and again it's cooling it's
cooling things down yeah our next stop that afternoon was
kabun park to walk off that meal all right guys so we've arrived at the
next station it was only one stop it cost 10 rupees beautiful beautiful
system it's brand new apparently it's only been in operation for a short time
it actually reminded me of the sky train in bangkok beautiful
modern anyways there was extremely tight security when they saw that we had
cameras we had to go through security and
basically sign something saying that we would
keep our cameras in our bags so we couldn't film any of the journey
unfortunately but what i can tell you is that it's a
great way to get around the city as soon as you enter the park you can see that
they have a military jet on the right side
and it seems to be like a well-manicured path
so yeah i'm not sure what we're gonna do but it's nice to be here
and you know this area like this entire place yeah
is usually the dog park on sunday so there's like people with all their dogs
coming here and like it's like a social dog event yeah
it's a lot of fun and you were so right about the temperature so
much cooler here i could just hang out here all day yeah
let's go check out the bamboo area yeah let's do it
that evening we met up with abhishek to go on a nighttime food tour of
frasertown
so you know some great spots around here what are we gonna have tonight
so we're gonna start off with some really nice beef rolls yep out here and
then we're going to move on to trying some butter chicken some shawarmas and
then end with some chai oh my gosh that sounds so delicious
let's stop talking let's start eating
okay guys i'm starting off with the chic samba roll and this is a behemoth of a
wrap take a look at this thing it is just
absolutely jacked with ingredients wrapped in a roti roll
oh yeah if you've been craving meat you got to come here and try that so this is
loaded with me so flavorful also spicy and onions give it a little bit of
juiciness too the flatbread has been rolled around twice
it's so compact in every bite like if you're hungry
and you can eat all of that that's like a meal in your hand
it's so thick and big just look at how much is inside of them
so we've been walking down the street for a little while and yeah there's just
so many options for food it's the kind of place you don't want to
fill up on your first bite because there's so many tasty treats on the
street and yeah i think we're just going to
keep wandering and see what we can find so
we are going to empire yep empire is is famous here in bangalore and they've
gone global they have a restaurant new york
dubai here we're eating what butter chicken and shawarma butter chicken
shawarma d rice oh my gosh oh yeah
we're gonna go all out oh we're gonna have a musambi juice
hold on it's like how big is my stomach now
she gets warmer
muscles
we're here at empire restaurant uh this place is very
popular among bangladesh because all of us who go partying late at night
look for place to eat this is the spot it's open late at night and it's very
popular for their grilled chicken their butter chicken as well as their
ghee rice and also their wasabi juice which we have
right here on our table all right moment of truth guys look at all this wonderful
food we have here so grilled chicken that's ghee rice
butter chicken which is always a favorite in fact back home that's
probably the most common indian dish you can find in canada for
instance so i'm just gonna serve myself up
oh look at those chunks of chicken in there
wonderful butter ghee rice so guys this is why i'm getting fat in india i've got
i'm eating a lot of things with butter and a lot of things with ghee
and i'm eating a lot of it so giant piece of grilled chicken
oh and i almost forgot the drink what's this one called wasabi juice and that's
sweet sweet lemon
oh man that was awesome smokey tender full of flavors a little bit
spicy too so tasty all right moving on to the
butter chicken buddy of that oh my gosh that sauce
the sauces will always makes a butter chicken just a wonderful curry
so rich in flavor a little bit spicy the butter chicken was delicious this
dish consists of chicken in a mild curry sauce with tomato gravy
butter and cream it's very rich and it's a classic must-try dish in india
that would have been plenty for dinner but our nighttime food tour still wasn't
over next up it was time for chai and dessert
we had a great time at empire and now where are we heading
so now we're off to a place called taj tea stall uh we're gonna have some
really nice suleimani which translates to lemon chai
oh wow first time to try that can't wait yes let's go
so the tea has arrived it's piping hot so we have a solimani chai over here
which actually is a lemon chive super sweet a
little beautiful sourness to it so let's go
oh yeah that's so sweet that acidic touch to it a citrusy touch to it okay
so i enjoyed the first chai so much i decided to get the regular old chives
this milk base it's got a lot of spices and stuff so let's try that
oh yeah that's so good and apparently a lot of people come here to grab a chai
and just have a smoke break or something chai is life in india chai is life and
guess what i think we have ice cream after this
correct we do bangalore's best oh wow this is how it's
changed over the years where's bangor palace how did you see
that wow so we're ending things off with a sweet treat we found some really good
ice cream actually this is called something special isn't it
yep let's go all to by chocolate and i guess if you can eat all of that
then maybe you will die there's a lot in it diabetes for sure
diabetes at least
oh yeah wow it's like a brownie with nuts and honey a chocolate sauce
and ice cream there's a lot going on yeah and then you have the cherries and
