What you can expect

430PM- Meet at entrance of Flower Bazaar Police station.
We commence the food walk in Sowcarpet. They are a foodies delight with a variety of snacks or chats as they are called. Murukku sandwich is one such speciality.
In this Food street walk in Chennai, you will sample snacks from across India. Lassi, Murukku sandwich, Jalebi and Aloo Tikki are some of the highlights.
Spices, fruits, vegetables and flowers will assault your senses at the Sowcarpet market.
Vada pav is the state dish of Maharashtra and the best place to savour it in Chennai is at Shree Vada Pav. It is a fast food dish which consists of a deep fried potato dumpling placed inside a bread bun sliced in half through the middle.
We move to Anmol Lassi centre, a place run by an ex professional wrestler, Dinesh Soni. He has been quenching the thirst of visitors to Sowcarpet for the last 30 years. The signature offering is Kesar lassi which is a sweet and creamy drink made with non-sour curd. I Saffron and sugar top up the ingredients. Served chilled in large glasses, the lassi also get a few drops of dried cream.
The food walk ends at the most famous chat shop of Sowcarpet called Kakada Ramprasad. Six decades since the classic Kakada jalebi was first fried in the quaint corners of Mint Street, the legacy of Kakada Ramprasad has come a long way. We will savour Aloo Tikki which is a magic of the blend of mashed potatoes and the traditional Indian spices. This will be followed by Jalebi, the dessert for all seasons.

We are mindful of the local community's livelihood and endeavour to strengthen it. We provide training to local youth and employ them as guides. We also ensure patronising local business to ensure the travel dollars stay where they are spent.
