All you can have under 100 bucks at OMR Food Street

For most people nowadays, having a decent meal under 100 bucks has become somewhat of an impossible proposition. You can forget about having an entire meal and probably just focus on a single food item. But will it fill you up and give you the satisfaction of downing an entire meal? Probably not. Here’s how you can do traditional South Indian food, OMR Food Street-style.

Starter: Plantain Soup at Star Burma Hotel — Rs.20

There can be no healthier a soup than the plantain soup from Star Burma Hotel. Essentially made with the banana plant’s stem, the soup is quite appetizing and healthy when compared to the regular ones, considering the fibrous nature of the banana stem. Just slurp and go!

Main Course: Appam Kuruma / Coconut Milk at Hot Dosa Restaurant — Rs.50

Nothing screams South Indian tiffin more than the food at the Hot Dosa Restaurant. Dig into a plate of hot Kerala-style appams with your own choice of spicy kuruma or sweet coconut milk. If you wish to turn things around a bit, you can also go for the idiyappam and kuruma or coconut milk combination; both the dishes letting you savor the tastes of Kerala.

Dessert/Drink: Badam Milk at Kumbakonam Filter Coffee — Rs.25

Grab a hot cup of badam milk to top the meal you just had. Known for their strong aromatic coffee, Kumbakonam Filter Coffee doesn’t let you down with their hot badam milk either.

These are just some of the dishes you can enjoy for under 100 bucks at OMF Food Street. The combinations are virtually never-ending if you are willing to experiment with various outlets at one shot, to craft your own sub-100-buck meal.

The Food Street Experience

Happening and exciting are certainly two adjectives anybody would use to describe the OMR food street in Thoraipakkam, an agglomeration of various street food vendors aligned in the pattern of a street, where one can treat themselves to quick bites from a vast array of cuisines. Although eclipsed by the much larger and recent OMR food street outlets at various corners of the city, this original agglomeration stands strong drawing in people from other parts of town as well as the IT corridor populace.

The place is lit and abuzz especially in the evenings, when eager foodies throng it’s lanes for delicious treats. One can sample local delicacies like the Madurai based jigarthanda to exotic snacks like the Burmese Atho, which is slowly becoming a favorite in the City, all within its two lanes. The jigarthanda, a cross of a payasam and falooda, is a delight to try and is made in authentic Madurai style in two versions. The special Jigarthanda is certainly a personal favorite. The Atho , introduced to Madras near Parry’s corner makes its presence felt in ‘Burma square’ in the food street and has cut down travel time and distance for enthusiastic foodies wanting to try it in this side of town. Other staples like Chat, ice creams, sodas, pizzas are also available in various stalls.

Despite being the oldest one, innovation is a constant facet in this food street, where the team is planning to establish a coupon system that can be obtained and redeemed in the stalls. Certainly a mecca for foodies, do pay a visit to enjoy it as much as I did!
