Oh oh!
It is just like drowning in butter dude.
It is literally drowning in butter.
It is so good.
How is it dude?
This piece has very little butter but still a lot of butter.
Oh I love the crunch and it really is just like bathed in butter.
It is.
This is sweet bun.
A sweet bun.
They apply butter on it.
And then cut it.
Okay so here we have some bun butter.
Oh my gosh look at that.
It is so nice of them to share it huh?
Guys thank you!
Thank you.
You too have it.
You guys are very nice.
Thank you.
So Vohuman Cafe is one of the older places in Pune.
And it is known for their Persian influence tea.
The Irani Chai.
It is kind of famous across India but then here in Pune people love it out here so you
know the lines starts way across.
I had to find a parking way down the street.
Oh wow.
So it is always packed and you just swerve around and you'll see that people are eating
their bun maska and their tea.
Bun maska literally translates into butter.
Oh wow.
So bun and maskais something that they you know this dip it into the tea.
Alright so what do we go here.
We've got Irani Chai.
Yep.
We have one egg Bhurji Yep.
We have uh bun butter.
Yep.
And we have toast butter jam.
Man look at all of that.
Sorry and with cheese.
A layer of cheese.
Ah cheese.
The cheese is obscene man.
Look at that.
I don't think I've ever seen that much cheese in a sandwich before.
That is as thick as the bread itself.
David you're famous!
Haha!
Hey!
So next up we've come to Good Luck Cafe.
It has been around since 1935 and it is packed inside.
Let's go check it out.
Woah next level samosas.
All the bread in the world under this cupboard.
Look at all of that bread.
They love bread for breakfast huh?
Hahaha!
So round 2 of breakfast.
And look at what we've got.
So we have bread.
What is this dish over here?
It is called a Keema Pao.
Okay so it is minced mutton meat.
Minced mutton meat.
With a lot of Indian spices.
Yep.
Um and uh so basically you are having it in one of the iconic places in Pune.
It is an institution since 1935.
It is incredible.
When I first walked in here I was like this has a classic diner feel.
I really liked it.
Like it has a cool vibe.
It is packed.
You have to almost wait for seats.
So we're lucky to have seats and to be eating this.
So how do we eat it?
So just take one of the bread.
Some of the bread.
Just rip it off like that.
Rip it off.
And then scoop in some meat.
Just scoop it right on.
Just like that huh.
Yeah.
Fold it a little bit so that you can okay balance it.
Fold it like that.
Make it into a sandwich.
Look at that.
A mutton sandwich.
Oh my gosh this is going to be messy.
Hahaha.
It is the whole thing dude.
It is the whole thing!
Mmmm.
Oh yeah.
I know why you like this now.
So much flavor.
Spicy too.
And what about the drink next to me?
Oh yeah this is Bourn Vitta.
It is just like the Nestle Milo but it is more of the local version.
People love it when it is the winter time out here.
But it is hot.
Oh yeah I'm going to try my first sip of this.
Oh that is nice.
But again like I can't believe I'm having hot drinks on a hot day.
Hahaha.
I'm already sweating prior to drinking this.
Yeah.
But it was very good.
It has a soothing chocolate flavor which runs down your throat.
It really does.
It goes down really smoothly.
And it resets your palette from this because that is a very strong mutton dish.
Very delicious.
Man like this has been an epic breakfast tour so far and I guess we have one more place
to go?
Oh yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Two places more to go.
This is epic.
Alright dude you've been loving this.
Oh my gosh I love this dish.
Your favorite huh?
Mutton minced mutton so goat with bread.
Oh look at that.
Oh my gosh.
Just look at all of the flavors.
Look at how rich it is.
Oh my goodness.
They gave me a spoon for a reason.
Yeah.
Hahaha.
Pile it in there man.
Dude!
(Coughing sounds)
Hahaha.
It went down the wrong way?
Hahaha.
It was hot for a second.
Oh I've got to calm it down.
Oh right there.
This has been great so far though huh?
This has been amazing.
This is one of my favorite food tours of all-time in India.
Definitely.
This is like wow I had no idea Pune had this much of amazingness in terms of food.
Thank you for showing us around so far.
Sure.
We really appreciate it.
Yeah.
So the amount of contrast in the food where you start enjoying one dish, the other dish
is just completely in the opposite direction.
Yeah.
So you tend to you know absorb all of the things.
Yeah.
And it sticks on your palette so you enjoy the food more.
We are heading up to Bedekar.
It is a local joint for Misal Pav.
So it is really going to hit like a missile.
Look at the amount of oil.
Oh!
It is going to be spicy.
Epic.
If you want some actual good spicy stuff.
If you want to perspire once you are done eating.
You ought to have this.
Okay?
Which one is it.
The spicy one.
The one in the small bowl.
Ah, right there.
There is the spicy one.
That is the spiciest huh?
It is easier for you to remember this because it is a literal translation.
Pav is Marathi the local language.
And Misal if you translate into English it means mixture.
Okay.
So this is basically a mixture of everything and the best thing to have along with it is
the bread.
Oh wow so that is why in local language you call is Misal Pav.
You can dip it in the gravy or you can have it with the Missal too.
If you want to add some more tangy flavor we have some lemons which you can squeeze.
Mmmm.
Oh!
Hahaha!
Woah!
Oh my gosh.
That is hot.
Woah!
That is way too much.
Oh my gosh it started off sweet and then the spice just like powers through the throat.
Try the Missal.
I'll try some of this too.
With a spoon.
Yeah.
I'm trying that.
Mmmm.
Oh I really like that one.
That one I could eat all day long.
This spice is a bit too strong for my palette.
I'm just like woah!
That was great.
If you want to get really adventurous you just go nuts.
Argh.
Mmmm.
A little spicy still.
I'm gaining weight for a reason.
Hahaha.
I came to India to eat.
Hahaha.
Getting fat in India.
First day we already had like 12 dishes.
Hahaha!
Woah!
It is hot.
Okay so this is the main container where the gravy is prepared.
Okay.
There you go.
Okay.
Wow.
So this at the time you can feed approximately 400 Missals daily which is like 800 bowls.
800 bowls.
That is incredible.
Woah, look at that bubbling goodness man.
So that was an epic breakfast tour here in Pune, India.
Thanks so much for taking us.
We really appreciate it.
If you come to Pune you've gotta try these things for sure.
Ciao guys!
