Day 06 - Christmas and Food Chronicles in Kolkata - Cheese on Toast, DI and Oly Pub

After days of decadence I decided to go for a jog in the morning. Maidan and Victoria Memorial is still fresh and clean. In retrospect the 6.9 km distance from home and back seemed quite small compared to the aeons spent around these places. 

Melting Cheese on hot toast with nice light tea was a nice breakfast since I was anticipating a busy day of eating ahead.

In the afternoon Kaushik invited us to DI for lunch. We did not anticipate that DI was focussed on preparing for the Christmas bash coming up. So, it was like eating in the midst of a shadi wala mandap being made. A very mediocre lunch...

Inside the chilly fish finger...

Fish fry

Kebab

Wazifdar

Mutton Kasha

Chicken Roast

Peas Pulao

Boiled vegetables

And... The bill...

Once that was done, Andy called and announced he was in Kolkata. What a coincidence! So we met at Camac street. It was interesting to see that Ketan had not changed a bit in 17 years!

Meeting Andy and Ketan...

Then it was time to relive the good old days at Oly Pub. The long pour at Oly is still good.

Oly it seems cleaned up after a fire upstairs. So we took in the festive and cleaner and brighter new Oly.  

Cheers!
