Hotel Saravana Bhavan : Eat Out

I am here writing my mind out after a long time. My outings with my hubby have started as usual. This week, we checked out the new branch of Hotel Saravana Bhavan in Valasaravakkam. This is one of the most crowded hotels in the city.

Round one : We ordered 14 - Idly with sambar which took more than 45 minutes to get prepared. Oh I was hungry so didnt have the patience to capture the food ;)

Round Two : Paneer Kulcha and Mushroom - Babycorn Masala (Makku Kumb Masala). This also took so much time but was very yummy!

Round three : Vegetable Biryani and Potato Mushroom fry

The restaurant was crowded , costly but food was yummy!

We had nice food and quality time together =)

Smallest Coffee Day

              Once we went to pick up my brother from airport home. While waiting for his flight to arrive, myself, the hubby and my two cousins were wanderering here and there in the airport exploring the new construction which is going on still.

            I was so tired standing near the guests gate. So my sweet hubby brought a luggage trolly and made me sit on it . He moved the trolley I was sitting. I adore him.

While wandering , we got a look at the Cafe Coffee Day. Not just Cafe Coffee Day. It was the smallest Cafe Coffee Day. There were no chairs or couch. We need to hangout there standing. But we wanted coffee badly. Myself and my cousin check out the prize of the coffee. It was costing around 200 bugs rounding off.

We silently ordered a choclate cake and moved to the shop opposite to it. It was a South indian Coffee bar. We bought coffee for just 20 bugs rounding off... Not to mention the small piece of cake was 75 bugs.

We muched our cakes and made fun of the cockroaches in the Coffee bars showcase. This made the owner pissed off.

We were forced to leave the place.

A crappy incident, just to post the Small Cafe Coffee Day shop picture.

Rain made our day...

As usual, I got ready for work and suddenly my hubbie said he would drop me in my office. I was happy as I like bike rides and being with my man. As we started to work by bike, rain started. It was just drizzles till half way. I was enjoying the climate, talking and laughing enjoying the ride , though we were heading to office.

In few minutes, we were drenched by heavy downpour and was not able to proceed ahead. So we parked the bike side by to the road and stood under my umberlla. After 45 minutes, It was all over and sky was clear. So we started towards my work place.

Again it all started and we decided to go home. When we decided it was nearly noon and headed to Nallas , a resturant we always go when in OMR. We ordered our favourite foods and had a hot, yummy lunch.

Activity 100 : Snack Time

Chaat for Snack Time :)

A Filmy Day Out

Last week , myself and hubby planned to call an off. We didn't have much of "our" time /Date in recent times, hence the decision. We had few household works and started of our footloose ride round the city.

A small aqaurium near the mall

As usual, we went to Gangotree to have creamy yummy strawberry milkshake. Then we went to Abirami Mall. This was the first time we went there. It was a small mall when compared to EA , Spencers and PVR. It was crowdy too. We decided to watch a movie named "Muran". We had a nice time together and enjoyed each scene together.

Then we came down to have some thing to eat as we didnt pack our lunch. We chose Chennai Noodle House. There were varaities of food outlets. But we chose Chennai Noodle House.

I ordered Chilli Garlic Noodle along with Gobi Manchurian. After placing the order, my hubby rushed to our table with two small papers in hand and gave to me. "OMG" Those were tickets to a movie called "Vedi". I was suprised. He said let be together for another 4 hours. We rarely get such happy long hours together alone. We loved those moments and want more time together.

Food was awesome. I love the combination we ordered and rushed to the screen which played "Vedi" . Though movie was an average flick, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie and each other making fun of the movie, munching pop corns.

I really admired the artwork done over the ceiling wall. Arty and classy. I felt screens were good but the stairs,lift , path to each floor are narrow and are prone to accidents. This should be considered by the management.

We were already tired but wanted to go a big ride. So from Purasivakkam we went to TNagar and then to our home. Long,speedy,cool bike ride.

We enjoyed. Thank you N for such a lovely date. Love you N.

Turtles!

On an afternoon , when I entered the cafeteria of my office ,there was a huge rush in a stall like setup. I was not able to figure out what is the stall for. I moved past the crowd and stod in the queue to collect my bill for lunch.

Meanwhile , I noticed a large screen showcasing the popular event called " Turtle Walk" . It was all about how they go in search of turtle eggs , preserve them and hatch them and return them back to the sea. It was wonderful but I was wondering how big the egg would be!

I had a HSB North Indian Thalli . Lunch time is always a fun time for me. I have my lunch with my whole team. I enjoy lunch each day with my team. Fun! We fought for sweet as usual. Lunch was over.

By the time, the crowd in the so called stall was moderate. I peeked into the crowd and to my surprise , the stall had a rectangular glass tank with tiny tiny turtles which were around 20 to 30 days . The stall was to let us know how the turtle should be handled, how it behaves when we have it in our hand.


I hand all the turtles in my hand and adored their color , softness  and naughtiness. Lovely turtles. We took photos of ours with turtles and had a temparory tattoo of a turtle in Red colour. I even got a ticket for ocean jumping etc. But was not interested as that was tsunami time in Japan.

I enjoyed that afternoon. Here are the pictures of turtle with  myself.

Cute rite.???!!

Lets support a cause.

Lets Turtle Walk.
