Flying from Mumbai to Chennai is fast and easy — just under 2 hours in the air. My Airbus took off around 2:20 PM and landed by 3:45 PM.

I grabbed a window seat, leaned back, and spent most of the flight relaxing to nature sounds between short naps. Perfect for a quick city hop.

I was just being a curious 😺. Just a stranger coming to unknown place for the very first time to explore eat and witness Chennai.

I checked in to Upar Hotels T Nagar which is walkable to nearby shops and many eateries. A plus point for newcomers in Chennai.

Ok I cannot help it because I had a great time eating and same time sweating after the spicy curry chicken with 3 yummy chapatis 😋. Review is below with the gallery of T Nagar Bhai kadai.

Bhel Puri was just the appetizer. It was 10 pm on a Wednesday night, and I was again hungry so I got myself the Pav Bhaji. It’s another dish which I had not tried.

I was very full after having Pav Bhaji so I took a stroll to the other end where I could hear the honking of Bandra west. Thankfully I wore my ear buds as I’m sensitive to loud sounds.

Four more days for me to unwind in Chennai. I was just as glad as the heat in Mumbai was twice the heat compared to Singapore and Malaysia.

I only had two days so I took the opportunity to get myself to Lucky Restaurant for Mutton biryani 😋.

I was delighted to meet Mr. Mohsen, the founder himself, as I shook his hand. I told him that I blog about food and travel experiences.

The biryani was nice and filling. Lunch time gets pretty chaotic and busy, so expect a wait if you go around 1 PM.

The mutton was tender, and the right masala was aromatic with just the right amount of spices and onions for me – exactly as the server mentioned.

20 minutes to walk up to the beach stand where the people are queuing up for the snacks and food.

The best part was having Bhel Puri was that I hadn’t tried it. While munching I felt the fullness and the amount of crunchy was just too good.

I was just quite full and I thought about heading back as I had no clue what to try next. I booked the auto rickshaw from Uber which was windy and nice ride.

How exciting and fun can it get when I have not ever had Vadapav 😂. I know it sounds 🤣 yet weird right? Well I finally made it to Mumbai to experience and we eat as much 😄.

Vada Pav! Finally MK is having a potato bun which wasn’t enough 😆

The most anticipated Vada Pav became one of MK’s favorite. As it’s something not served in Malaysia.

So finally my driver UJ came to fetch me to the Hotel Metro Palace Bandra

As the time is near for me to board the announcement from Juhu Beach is calling my name. 😱

How exciting and delightful way of welcoming me to experience the food’s of Mumbai.

Pani Puri and Dosa/ thosai is very common in SG. But VadaPav is a not to be missed.

MK is thrilled and excitedly looking forward to having a great time in Mumbai. Not just for the foods but hopefully to bump into few celebrities as well.
