The only thing you can buy from 2 rs is a biscuit from a local tea shop. Even a beggar these days expect more.

I used to get full meals for 10 rs near my college and unlimited meals for 15 rs. This was in an aachi shop in an actual hut. There was also a mallu shop nearby which we used to call cheta kadai where 4 chapatis cost 10 rs. Those were the times. This was way better than any meals that Im getting outside now. Tea at college canteen was 2 rs. Coffee at Saravana Bhavan was 6 rs. That was considered expensive because of high quality. This was in 2000. It went up to 8 rs after a few years. When I moved back here from the US in 2012, it was 25 rs. Now its 30 rs. Are you in Dallas. Your name suggests so. I went to school there and worked there also.

Alam_dar Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) How different is the Sri Lankan food from the South Indian food? Can you believe it that in Pakistan no one knows what Dosa is? Actually we don't know even a single dish from the South India in Pakistan. Edited June 17, 2019 by Alam_dar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Indian food and South Indian atyle cooked North Indian dishes are way way tastier. I feared the same, and you confirmed it now. In Karachi, normally one is able to get many Indian dishes due to the presence of immigrant families. But mostly they are North Indian dishes + Marathi Dishes from Bombay (due to Gujrati communities like Memon and Bohras too I think). But pure South Indian dishes are almost non-existent there too. Just like you get the South Indian food touch in North India, we in Pakistan get the Afghani cuisine touch. But Afghans eat only meat. There are hardly any famous vegetable or lentil dishes present in Afghan cuisine. We also have borders with Iran, but still Iranian food and culture is totally foreigner to us, just like the Chinese culture and food. Actually no, Chinese dishes are indeed present in Pakistan, but with Pakistani flavours. @velu How different is Sri Lankan cuisine from the South Indian one? From Nepal, North India has got Momos. Right? What other foreign dishes have become local in North/South India? Edited June 17, 2019 by Alam_dar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes absolutely different in South Indian restaurants. Its Like Hakka Noodle. The Hakka noodle Indian restaurant make is nowhere close to Chinese ones. Infact Indian can’t eat Chinese ones.
