南印度16天﹝十七﹞/食物/16 days in South India (17)/ Food

南印度最出名的食物是Masala Dosa,簡單來說,這是一種薄脆的卷餅,裡面是素菜及香料。很香脆。一直以來,我也不知道吃這卷餅的正確方法,只當它是一客熱狗。直至在班加羅爾的Ulla’s Refreshment,店員看見我的吃相,才告知我應該把這個餅卷起,然後撕開一小件,再點醬汁。


班加羅爾的Indian Coffee House,除了咖啡美味外,餐廳本身就是一人文風景。


這間咖啡室在殖民地時代已開張,時至今天,店員還穿著白袍製服及扣上粗大的紅色腰帶,牆上也掛上咖啡海報。而除班加羅爾外,印度其他城市也有這咖啡室。


Masala Dosa is the most famous delicacy in South India. It is a crispy roll pizza with herbs and vegetable inside. I did not know the proper way of eating this delicacy until I went to Ulla’s Refreshment in Bangalore. Having seen my confused facial expression, the waiters told me to roll the whole pizza, then tear it into pieces before putting the sauce in.
The Indian Coffee House in Bangalore is a living human attraction itself even though you don’t order the tasty coffee. The coffee house has been established during the colonial period, and until today, the waiters are still wearing white turbans and buckled red belts. The coffee poster hanging on the wall is also impressive.
