| Fortune Select Palms - Hotels in OMR Chennai |
Chennai,
the capital of Tamil Nadu, has now for years, been an integral cog in
the social, cultural and economic workings of South India. It is
located on the Coromandel Coast, slightly off the Bay of Bengal,
which attributes to Chennai being a major naval port too. Referred to
as the ‘Cultural Capital of South India’, Chennai displays
cultural diversity, be it theatre, Carnatic music, or the movie
industry. The automobile scene in the city has earned Chennai the
title of ‘Detroit of India’.
Chennai
is a treat for food lovers too. The best part about Chennai is that
it has embraced every single cuisine from different places. So food
lovers tend to get a taste of everything, be it Gujarati food,
Bengali cuisine, Punjabi dishes or the proper Chennai delicacies.
There are set places for every dish, which are also available at a
very decent price, sometimes very cheap too. Many restaurants are not
lavish and royal, but small and decent, which adds to the authentic
Chennai flavor too. Not to say that the 5 star hotels in Chennai
do not include lip smacking food, but the street food is a totally
different aspect of this splendid city.
Various
places, of which many are road side installations, offer delicious
snacks and finger food whose taste will linger in your mouth for
long. Dishes like kuzhi paniyaram, with the coconut chutney served
alongside, is a very popular dish. The adai avial and the paruppu
poli vadai is also famous as a morning snack. The appam and dosas
available at various stalls are really great. The pani-puri stalls
are all over the city, which also provide variations like sev-puri,
dahi-puri, and bhel puri. Proper hygienic stalls are available which
can cater even to the stomach-sensitive people. Idli with different
chutnies, keerai vadai, and sweet pongal complete the list for street
food.
