Bombay street food

One of the best ways to experience a new place is to take a walk around its busy streets and sample the local street food. I was warned about pick pockets and food poisoning when I landed in Bombay so I was very careful in eating out but never the less I couldn't leave the place without trying their authentic Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji.

I didnt get a shot of the Vada Pav coz my hands were full and juggling your plate and camera while in a busy street is not that easy so I got a pic from Wikipedia;

Vada Pav

The rest were shot in the Juhu beach area where they have a lot of these food stalls

Making Bhaji

Pav Bhaji

I wanted to try a local ice popsicle called Kola Ice but when I saw the colors used in the making I had seconds thoughts and opted out.. What the hell is in that coloring ?

Back from Bombay

I'm back in Kuwait after a quick trip to Bombay and Cochin. Since I was in Bombay for a specific reason there really wasnt much time to spend visiting all the popular spots in the city. We went on a one day guided tour of the city called 'Bombay Darshan'. Here's a list of the places included in the tour.

Gateway of India
Taj Hotel
Nehru Science and Technology center
Prince of Wales Museum
Jehangir Art Gallery
Taraporewala Aquarium
Hanging Garden
A '4D' movie screening and finally
Juhu Beach

Some scenes from the tour...
