I love the country and its people, have wonderful memories of both. Have also travelled quite a bit inside Malaysia, even to slightly offbeat places like Gemas, Kota Bharu and all. But no, I won't say anything more now - you'll have to wait till I write about all that :P<br /><br />Do please stay tuned, and also check up the other posts here if you can.Abhik Majumdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921264695439784161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36623524.post-88240893688457411702014-11-28T15:22:33.159+05:302014-11-28T15:22:33.159+05:30Hi Abhik, laksa.. nice!!

Much appreciate this, and I mean it in the nicest way possible :)<br /><br />Do keep in touch, and if you can spare some time have a look at the other posts. There's some stuff on Malaysia and Singapore, several more to come (Madhulika, the other person commenting on this post, has asked me to write something on Laksa).Abhik Majumdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921264695439784161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36623524.post-74609026501237972252014-11-02T14:32:59.086+05:302014-11-02T14:32:59.086+05:30Hi Abhik, I happened upon your blog again after so...Hi Abhik, I happened upon your blog again after so long because of the latest batch of comments that I was notified of.

In my case it's a bit worse. My job compels me to live in Cuttack, Orissa. Wife and tadpole have stayed put in Bangaore. Miss them something cruel.<br /><br />> That kheeri.

Adorable, of course, but she's also a naughty little thing who has a mind of her own. <br /><br />We visited Lucknow for only two days, so weren't able to do justice to it, either - but Rahim's, I remember. And Tundey ke kabab. Somehow the Tundey one gets here in Delhi just doesn't match up - just like <i>the</i> Nizam's in Calcutta is a class apart. That <i>kheeri</i>. Ooh.

Oh you h...> a baby at home and no domestic help<br /><br />Oh you have a baby too? Our tadpole's two years old, she's called Asavari. How old's yours? Fully empathise with the 'no domestic help' bit.<br /><br />> a tiny and decrepit place called Rahim's in Lucknow.<br /><br />Now that's one place I need to visit for a substantial length of time. Iv'e been there only once, for three days. We caught some nifty Galauti and Biryani, but three days is simply not enough. <br /><br />Abhik Majumdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921264695439784161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36623524.post-33055891354471579772014-10-28T15:02:01.052+05:302014-10-28T15:02:01.052+05:30This sounds so good.

I have no idea when it'll be possible for me to make it to Bara Hindu Rao - a baby at home and no domestic help tends to make our dining out rather limited in scope! So, I shall file this away for later...<br /><br />Incidentally, the best nahari I remember having was at a tiny and decrepit place called Rahim's in Lucknow. We were seated next to the coal dump. Placemats and napkins were squares of newspaper. But the nahari was out of this world.

You've not provided an email address or other means of contacting you, so the only way I can respond to your query is through another blog comment.<br /><br />Right now I'm afraid I don't have pictures. I did not own a digicam when I wrote that post, and these days I don't live in Delhi any longer. If you want, I could take some pics the next time I'm in Delhi. Could you write me an email? Go to my profile, you'll get my email address.Abhik Majumdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921264695439784161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36623524.post-18543549144356280162010-09-22T00:38:16.335+05:302010-09-22T00:38:16.335+05:30Hi Abhik, I’m a writer from Malaysia & have wr...Hi Abhik, I’m a writer from Malaysia & have written an article on Haji Noora for MSN Malaysia’s soon-to-be-launched travel section. Would you happen to know how I can get photos of this restaurant? I tried to contact Hemanshu on his EOiD blog but to no avail. Acquiring some photos from you or him would really help. Thanks & I look forward to hearing from you soon!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509532261828100446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36623524.post-38595607978556514932007-06-27T21:41:00.000+05:302007-06-27T21:41:00.000+05:30Your description of Haji Noora is so tempting!
