Tryst with Food @Kolkota

 Unfortunately, except the Yummy biryani - less spicy with full aloo, we have had better Bengali food outside Calcutta than in Calcutta. 

















#GoliSoda - a drink that always takes me to the 80's and 90's. But wait - it's continuing to charm the Gen Z's as well! 😆

One become super-curious about the marble stopper and its unique mechanism. 🤩

Unfortunately I have never had this. 














The disaster was the last day, went with the expectation to have authentic Tali Meal, they said it was available when called,  but when we reached there it was not. 


Had decided not to take photos, nor to keep memories of that day, but could not resist.













At Delhi Bengal House near parliament building. 


Interesting is people there have not heard of Bikas Babu sweets



Remember my one time diet dinner was this from Bikas Babu in 2018. 


EcoPark

 One place we had in the list to do from day one was the Eco park. We had mixed opinion. 

Finally after visiting Gangasagar reached Eco park the same evening. Lo and Behold , she welcomed us with rain shower, after a day spend in scorching heat. 



It was beautiful to see the 7 wonders and take pictures in front of them. 





















Even better was the walk around the lake, and into the island. Looked very beautiful at night, with a view of Eiffle tower and places around. 







Driver told us all was paddy field, they took mud from some places increased the height of other places and low area they made lake. 


Wanted to try to get on Biswa Bangla Gate and have food there, but we had to book online. So returned home. Trying all the different sweets at Gate 3 Mishti centre had made our tummy full already.
