A fine evening, one of my friend from Kolkata had visited Chennai for the first time. I took him to show the nook and corner of the city to show its difference. But when it comes to food, he said that he wanted something different other than idly and dosa.By evening 4 o' clock, we were hungry. He was very sure about something different. After visiting Mylapore Kapaleshwarar temple, i had a quick glance at the hotels surrounding the temple.
Luckily, i noted a sign board with the name "Mylai Karpagambal Mess". I remembered somebody telling that it is one of the oldest surviving mess in Chennai city.
So i took him in. He said, "You have to order. I don't know anything". So i called upon the waiter and asked him, "What do you serve now?" The waiter replied with some set of dishes such as, dosa, parotta, chapathi and sevai.
I ordered for sevai and my friend asked me, what is Sevai made of? Its made of powdered rice, i replied. And the billing counter had small packs of some sweets like Badam halwa. I got one and gave it to him. He enjoyed eating it.
Meanwhile, we received our sevai. After eating it, the guys taste bud made him order one more, one more and another one in a sequence. He was so excited to eat it.
Finally, i was happy for making my friend eat something different other than idly and dosa.
