Wine, Dine and Dance - "Food Street"

Food street – VV Puram!

Bangalore South has a lot to offer the roadside eater (and deep down, we know we all subscribe to it, don't we?). The South Bangalorean's soul lifts high, soars and does an topple with nostalgia at the mention of its name. Take a walk at VV Puram's “Food street”. If you are a fan of the “roadside golgappa” and the “very much Indian chinese food – Gobimanchuri, noodles and chowmein etc” this is your paradise. Akki roti, “hot hot jamuns” (its a dish, trust me), roadside pakoda, capsicum bajjis – the list is endless. The street is house to the famous “VB Bakery” - which is a local favorite. Its full house, always. Try the “Bun Butter Congress” - a signature dish, that all relish. Take a look around, the aroma will fill you in. Either you love it, or hate it – but you cannot ignore it. Far from the sophistication, VV Puram is simplicity personified. You should definitely check out the capsicum dish – it has a capsicum bajji, cut into 4, sprayed with lemon, seasoned with onion and spices. Its one of a kind. Try “roadside” sweets – a million and half innovations to choose from. If you are looking for one evening of fun, where you really don't care and have let go, go ahead. This is your moment - “carpe diem”. Walk a little around VV Puram, you'll hit MTR (Mavalli Tiffin Rooms). If you find that as usual, you can never find the space to sit down, you'll be pleased to know they have a “sandwich” place right next to it. A beautiful walk at Lalbagh before all this activity would probably make you feel nice about the calories that you'll add onto yourself at the “Food Street”.
