    KV, Do I know you??? Adyar Bakery? Grand Snacks? Seriously? Next you will be telling me you know the Aavin park and (ex)Pushpa Shoppe....Aaack!!! :crazy

    I love Grand's curd rice thonnai!!! Plum cake was also so yummy! My fav of thiers were the cakes/pastries that had the pista crumble on the sides...green color... Now, I am hungry!

    :biglaugh:biglaugh:biglaugh thanks spidey. and i thought balapam was some culinary dish (how did i miss your picture spidey?!!!) - anu loving the smell of balapam, dnm loving the combination of balapam and chalk ( i did wonder at the combination of chalk and what i imagined to be some kind of kozhambu), coming as it did so soon after mention of onion kothsu (am going to check out on that - another mystery to me). i need to do something radical about my non-existent language skills :hide::hide::help:drowning. anyway, shall count on all of you to educate me.[​IMG]
