Tung Nam Eating House

 
A long cherished wish to visit this eating house, which is again walking distance from my place (though I made my debut visit) was finally ticked off from my wishlist. 
Had heard about its authentic Chinese cuisine served at pocket friendly prices. Got to savour the same along with its simple and bare minimum decor which does not give you a restaurant like feel at all. 
Since it was my first visit, I did not experiment much with the food. Just ordered a chicken sweet corn soup half which serves two people and half plate chicken hakka noodles which is sufficient for two people. 
Tung Nam is quite famous for its chilly pork and for appetizers one may also try out both the steamed and fried chicken wantons. 
Pocket pinch for soup and noodles was- Rs 385/- only.

It's timings- 12 p.m-3p.m. 
In the evening it opens sharp at 6 and I was just on time! 
Nearest metro station- Central. 
One needs to get down at Gate Number 2 of Central Metro Station and start walking towards Lal Bazaar, turn right from Ghanteswar (Shiva) temple towards Ling Liang school and then take the lane commonly known as Chattawala Gully opposite Ling Liang School.

As you enter or exit through the main big gate you will be able to almost hear the posters speaking to you, the slogans articulating concerns regarding the contemporary political condition of India. Indian Coffee House draws people from all walks of life and caters to diverse age group with varied interest. From intellectual discussions to Bangali's adda the place is for all. From college goers, tourists (both Indian and international), academicians, romantic lovers to music lovers, coffee house literally buzzes with the cacophon

Tram Museum~ Smaranika

Image
Today's Metro, The Telegraph will tell you that the vintage vehicle, the tram 'will remain a barely used relic of the past.' As Kolkata is celebrating 150 years of trams gently running and ringing around the city, it is indeed sad that they have to bid farewell to most of the street cars.  Tram lovers like me however can visit  Smaranika or the Tram Museum which lies in the heart of the city. Nestled amidst a small patch of greenery this tram museum is at Esplanade. The beautiful Smaranika which has a cosy cafeteria inside the air-conditioned car, serving coffee and light snacks, will give you the history of the car right from its inception. From the very first tickets to its first journey the museum provides all the details right from the pre-Independence days.  Cross the road from KC Das' sweet shop and walk facing Raj Bhawan, the way to the tram museum will be on your left.  Though the tram remains stationed at one plac
