Southward Ho

Was in Chennai and points south. (Kumbakonam, Pondicherry, Mayavaram if you must know) on a 2 day 20- temple tour. The only spiritual benefit for me was putting up with all the relatives. Anyway on the food front nothing spectacular. Galloping Gooseberry prolly deserves a seperate review but frankly nothing exceptional. The lovely roadside stall with divine idlis deserves something exceptional but for the life of me what do I say the location ? Fourth level crossing when u go from Pondicherry to Kumbakonam. Suffice it to say that the quality of food is pretty good as long as you stick to core competencies of South Indian food and not try and experiment with Chole Batter or Alu Parotta.....
