Food Street: A Yum-Yum Relaxed Walk - Part 1

The major problem when you plan any trip with others is that the entire schedule is highly dependent upon their controlled and uncontrolled variables like health, sudden work, family emergencies, affinity and bonding with the members of the trip etc. There can possibly be situations wherein when a person says that they cannot make it and an individual who likes/ wants to be on their good books would automatically decide that they would take no part in the tour. Likewise, special cases are there when people drop out when they find out that they will be in the company whom they don't respect much. In the same vein, others will prefer some things over and above another thing based on their tastes and interests.  

With such inhuman complications in the minds and hearts of human beings, arranging and executing a proper itinerary is not only a nightmarish activity but also becomes a hell especially when it involves/includes children as the safety becomes the top priority and you have to constantly keep an eye on them by foregoing the thrill, enjoyment, and peace of mind for which you would have accepted to go on the tour in the first place. At times, you will also have a sense of desperation and intense emotional choke that it would have been better had you traveled alone.

Yes. More the merrier. No doubts or questions about it. If everyone else thinks and make adjustments to make the outing a memorable and resounding success. But, is that the case considering the inherent and innate complicated nature of us?

So, why this detailed exposition for a foodie review?

Well. As it turns out, I was also the latest victim to be caught up in a feeding frenzy, pun intended, of a line of action to visit Food Street along with my cousins (Read: 5 kids). Due to a sad and unfortunate episode at home, the day trip had to be postponed at a later date.

Yet, after hours of sitting together and determining the best possible day to munch, it had to be called off due to the formal powers of the higher authorities (Read: their parents). Nevertheless, for a person who had single-handedly escaped the wrath of the night elephants or tamed the wild and ferocious tigers, (This is how most of the histories apparently projects the victors. eeeeeeeeee!), it was a piece of cake to venture alone and grab a bite. 

For more on actually what happened with the mighty Mammoths and Majestic Cats:

1) elephants

2) tigers

Enough of animals. 

Let's focus our attention on Food Street now.

There are 2 Food Streets in OMR itself - Thoraipakkam and Navalur. I chose the latter as I heard it was relatively better from a chef. As far as the accessibility is concerned, it's right next to AGS theatre. Location - No problem to find. 

There are aplenty shops to select the choice of food according to your palate - Chats, 99 varieties of Dosas, Mexican, Italian, Chinese cuisines, Malaysian Parottas, Sri Lankan Food, Burmese style cooking, Bengali and Kerala Delights, Frankies, Ice Cream & Soft Drink Parlours, Pure Veg Restaurants - So, Yes. Basically, there is everything for everybody in this place.
