Bombay Bliss, Mumbai Majja

People from Delhi have always complained about food in Mumbai. "There is no decent place in Mumbai for dal makhani" or "Mumbai street food sucks", to one of the most common remark, "They put curry patta in everything" and so on.

Since I had never visited Mumbai (That's right! Don't know why people go horror-struck when they hear it) in 26 years of my existence, food wasn't even on my mind. The 5 day vacation over the New Year's Eve was supposed to be a booze-fest and all about daily hangovers. Everything changed the moment I stepped out of the airport. The first stop was the Jumbo King (had to be had). And thus began our days of gastronomical portions and proportions.

For any average Mumbai resident, it won't be a big deal! I know. Nevertheless the raving shouldn't stop especially by someone who had never experienced the city of dreams till now.  

A big thanks to our hosts, they knew what we would like and they knew where to take us. Not a single meal or snack disappointed a BIG Foodie from Delhi like me. We kept on clicking whatever, wherever we could to satisfy our senses later. Some world famous joints, some just a redi-walla, it all added up for a tummy-happy vacation! 

This blog is dedicated to the incredibly crazy food trip. No better way to bring in the new year! Here are a few shots of mind-boggling fare (I am not too sure about the exact names of a few delicacies, because I was busy hogging them).
