The Rise of Food Blogger :-D A Look Back at 2015 Foodie Journey


Another year begins and everyone around me seemed excited to welcome 2016. I was least bothered about any of it; as each year comes and passes by, there isn’t much to be excited about. But yeah, thanks to my husband for suggesting me to pen-down all my achievements, failures or memories of 2015. That was a great idea which made me realize how much I have changed over the past 12 months.

Among the varied memories, failures & accolades; the best I enjoyed doing was Blogging about Food. I owe huge thanks to my hubby & my fellow foodie friends (the list is quite big) who have been an inspiration. Blogging, did some magic and helped me understand the real me! Finally, coming to the topic; I do owe so much to food. So here’s a post that I dedicate to food. Thanks to my fellow foodie, Rajiv Shankar (you can check his food journey https://www.zomato.com/skrajiv), for coming up with the questions and helping me (indirectly) on a blog post:-P

2015, definitely the year in which I visited the most number of restaurants. Lots of memories were made during each visit. Now, it’s time to look back and re-kindle some of my foodie journey-2015:

Disclaimer: I am a Chennai Foodie for now! So only the places from Chennai counts.

1) Best restaurant I visited in 2015!
Kailash Parbat, Chetpet. It ticks all my boxes i.e. taste, price, variety, quality and quantity.

2) Not-so-great restaurant I visited in 2015!
Nellai Xpress, Most of the boxes weren’t ticked and that’s why!!

3) The best dish I explored/discovered and which I absolutely loved?
 There’s many lining up now! But I will restrict to five:-D
  • Under baked Cake with Salted Caramel Ice Cream from Amadora, Nungambakkam
  • Oreo Shake from Double Roti, Teynampet
  • Tender Coconut Mousse from Jonah’s Bistro, Anna Nagar
  • Paneer Ka Thakali from Maplai, Nungambakkam
  • Mutton Biriyani from Salt, Vadapalani

4) The dish I didn’t like among the ones I had in 2015!
Chang Mai Train Station Noodles from Mamagoto and Half Jivara from Ecstacy.

5) Best ‘Value for Money’ restaurant!
Kailash Parbat, Chetpet. Among the fine-dining ones I found this to be an apt choice.

6) Most over rated/overpriced restaurant!
Over Rated - Double Roti, Teynampet and Over Priced - Haagen Dazs, Nungambakkam.

7) The one place I went over and over again!
I try my best to never repeat restaurants. But over & over, it was Lloyd’s Tea House, Gopalapuram.

8) The furthest I have travelled for a restaurant, which one?
Pind, Velachery and Velachery Phoenix Market City.

9) Best restaurant ambiance wise!
Bombay Brasserie and ETC Restaurant & Cafe, Nungambakkam.

10) The place I love to go as a big group!
Hoppipola, Nungambakkam

11) Best food delivery! (Taste and speed-wise).
Faasos, prompt in delivery and tastes great.

12) My best review of a restaurant (among the ones I have written)!
I love all my reviews! But best, I did say “Maplai”.

2015! The Foodie Blogger..



P.S. The food experience is based on my food palate & dining experience during my restaurant visit. No two person’s palate can be same.

  1. Last week we had visited Restaurant In Caloundra named Harrys Beach Bistro. There we had to order authentic and delicious cuisine. It was a very hygienic and scrumptious restaurant and provide delicious cuisine at an affordable cost.
