Breaking The Fast at Cafe I Am, Saltlake Sector-V

"Momo I Am" has always been my favorite for simple fuss-free Tibetan/Chinese food at very reasonable price. Starting from the days in Lake Gardens outlet to the more frequented one at Golpark, I have always sworn by their momos , baos and shyafaleys.

হাতে উঠলো একটা চামচ। আলতো করে চামচের ডগা দিয়ে তুলতুলে মাটন ছাড়িয়ে উঠে আসল একটু মাংস। এবার পালা আলু মহাশয়ের। যত্ন সহকারে সেই চামুচ তুলে আনলো ঘি-য়ে ভাজা একটু আলু। অবশেষে তিন প্রিয় বন্ধু আবার একসাথে। এক চিলতে চামচের মধ্যে প্রথম প্রেমের মতো হাত আগলে মিশে গেল মাটন, আলু আর বিরিয়ানির ভাত। এবার সময় মহামিলনের। … Continue reading বন্ধুর নাম কাবুলিওয়ালা | Kabuliwala Biriyani, Kolkata
