Weekly Food Review

AIRLINES HOTEL and CORNER HOUSE, Lavelle Road

Last Sunday we took our lil one to cubbon park, probably the only huge green space leftover in Bangalore. It was a sunday and as usual a lazy day.. Woke up late and had breakfast late. It was almost past 12 when we left home..

My son enjoyed his 1st visit to the park. His 1st time on the toy train, he looked at things around with much amazement. We also had Corn on the roadside, popcorn inside the park and with all this stomach was kind of full but still we decided to go to Airlines for a light lunch.

We ordered a gobi and mushroom manchurian, a chana bathura and an idli for my son. My husband said he loved the khara bath there so he had to have one. Well for me it was the 1st time i would be eating there. Even though i worked nearby for almost 2.5 years I had never tasted the food there.

After some 5 minutes our food arrived.. We started off with the manchurians first.. The taste was quite good but we felt it was a little dry compared to the local guy we usually visit (will post a review of his joint soon). The bathura was also good but only thing was out tummies could not digest more.. My son instead of having the idli was licking by the sauce we got.. I somehow managed to feed him quarter idli..








Then when the bill arrived we were a lil shocked coz they billed Rs 247.. We inquired the waiter how did it sum to this amount... Believe it or not... the manchurians cost a whopping 86Rs and the chana bathura  96Rs.. We were indeed shocked, well not to pay that much but coz of the cost.. We usually pay 40Rs per plate for a manchurian in any other place..







But finally we had to pay the amount and waste some food (which i hate to do) but we had to coz i also had plans of eating an ice cream at CORNER HOUSE coz i had not had one in ages there. I settled for a single scoop vanilla ice cream with choco chips coz that is all my tummy wud permit me to eat at that time.. Needless to say about the taste of a Corner House ice cream..

The ambience of the place was good... its an open air place so it has to be good.. but only when it doesn't rain or when its too sunny.. There were many people who enjoyed their cuppa's of coffee there... They serve coffee in a water glass and my hubby says it tastes nice. Seated behind us were a group of young guys who were supposed to be on their college reunion chatting away and eating away... I wondered i wish even i could go on such reunion...

Overall it was a good experience eating out on Sunday.
