Happiness costs Rs.75/-

Anyone who knows me, knows that food forms the most important part of my life. All my memories are linked to it. (My Mom will tell anyone who listens about how I remember eating gulab jamun in someone's place when I was four years old but don't quite remember whose place it was). The thought of good food can make me happy, wistful, joyous, ecstatic and restless.

I always maintain that my dream job would be to be a food critic - eat at the best places, don't pay for it AND get to nitpick, savour and delight in the meal. If there is anyone who knows more about the job and disagrees with what I have to say, please don't burst my bubble!

Bombay has been great with food for me. It has pulled me into its mixed food culture and its endless options. It has delighted me beyond words. I love the city for many many reasons but food naturally comes right on top!

I will attempt over time to write about all my happy food memories here. I do not wish to forget any of them. Each experience has been beautiful!

Going back to the title, the two best food experiences so far have been the Chocoholic pastry at Theobroma, Colaba and the Baked Lemon Cheesecake at Candies, Bandra. They were both, well, orgasmic. There I have said it! The very thought of what I ate that day makes me happy! And they both cost about Rs. 75/-! Heaven would be one of these places I tell you.
