But yes the proprietor is very nice that way.<BR/><BR/>thindipotha: Thanks! That was a very interesting accounts of the old favourites eateries of malleswaram! Apparently devi Bhavan was also popular among the young men of Malleswaram , as it offered a strategic viewing point of all the women that caught buses at the 8th cross bus stand :) My aunt swears that they went out of business because they would order one cup of coffee among 8 of them and sit for hours watching the road :)<BR/><BR/>amrit rao: of course, who can forget subbamma angdi's holige! haven't been there in a while, must come check it out. neevu eekade banni, nammoorina idli-dose thinsthene :)<BR/><BR/>prashanth rao: man, I am ashamed to say, I havent been to any of those places (except MES gaadi)- and I thought I was a true blue malleswaramite. Needless to say i will go and visit all those places instantly. I also didnt know of the quirky specialities in the NKB menu.

With all their quirks in the menu (some dishes available alternate days, some on weekends only, some after 4.30pm only), its a one-of-a-kind place. <BR/><BR/>I also used to like the Shakti place (opp SBM) on Sampige Road with their speciality starters: veg kababs, kasturi etc.<BR/><BR/>During the height of my Mancurian days, I used to frequent the gaadi near MES college often. The idlisfrom Bhatra-angadi near Malleswaram railway station are awesome. <BR/><BR/>Man, I miss MalleswaramPrashanth.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05230680139033816387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-14583908200825363082007-12-11T23:46:00.000-08:002007-12-11T23:46:00.000-08:00Ellarigu nanna namaskaravannu arpisutthene..Looks like all you guys are malleshwaram loyalists.It was a great read and gives me more reasons to frequent that part of the town.There's a place in gandhi bazar,Srinivasa Condiments aka "Subbammana angadi" which is definitely worth a mention.Subbamma popularised the "evening thindi" culture in the 1950s.They make heavenly holiges(there's a slight dip in quality though) and kadlekais with weird names like congress kadlekai and computer kodbele :)..<BR/>check out this youtube link.<BR/><BR/>www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOPbeV-giSIAmrit Raohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01548378940246211717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-35260521806223769102007-11-24T15:46:00.000-08:002007-11-24T15:46:00.000-08:00If you were of eating age in fifties and sixties(I mean between 1950 and 1965!)you would have remembered with nostalgic memories ! There were MTR and North End Hotels on the intersection of 8th cross(you can now cross it !) and Margosa Road and Planters coffee Home (where Halli Mane is now built). I feel that such eating places are now extinct ! One has to remember one more eating place which is not out of place ie. Devi Bhavan on 17th cross and Margosa Road Junction. These places were eatin g and meeting places of many well known writers and musicians ! The dishes eaten have in fact motivated them to write popular comedies etc. Please confirm the above facts with residents (originals only) who are now in their sixties and seventies !Thindipothanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-6167103445247396572007-11-16T05:05:00.000-08:002007-11-16T05:05:00.000-08:00heheh...veena stores still remains like that and I agree, none of their idlis taste the same when you reach home...but we still trudge along and stand for long minutes, to get that idli over peoples heads....you can call ahead also you know ...he would have kept order ready...<BR/>And I agree CTR's msdos is simply great :)Pratshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10849938760602815322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-1412961911912237172007-10-23T05:31:00.000-07:002007-10-23T05:31:00.000-07:00preeti: heh yes. if the waiter likes you, he'll give you 2-2 newspaper napkins :) Yes yes Halli mane very much around and bursting its seams as usual.

Its funny how the best memories are always about food! In CTR, you ask for paper napkins (if you still need them after you’ve licked your fingers clean) and they give you newspaper bits…environment friendly too, alva? Is there still a Halli Mane?
