FML #2

This is the follow up post after my last one about Food, Music and Love 🙂

One of the biggest dilemmas for all food lovers is choosing between taste of the food and the ambiance of the place. I for one have always given top priority to the taste and not the looks. So the next food item I am going to suggest in this post is so tasty that I decided to write about it ignoring the quality of the place. For those of you who are still up tight, you can take it home and eat while looking at your self in the mirror inappropriately.

Chicken 65, the Nokia 1100 of non vegetarian foods. Not that fancy and hip compared to all the kebabs and tandoori items but nevertheless, always reliable when there is doubt about what to choose. But hey.. I am not talking just about the food item.. it is the place that I want to highlight. Anyone in Hyderabad or from Hyderabad already know Abids and the General Post Office building. But what most of you might not be knowing is that there is a guy selling chicken 65, tandoori chicken and parotas at a street side joint near the bus stop. Chicken 65 there, is perhaps the best there will ever be. Not that I am exaggerating but I feel that it is the most valuable thing Andhra Pradesh has lost due to the bifurcation. Anyways, it’ll be available after 7 on weekdays and I am not sure about Sundays.

Just beside Bus stop near General Post office, opposite State Bank, Abids, Hyderabad, Telangana.

Some facts before you decide:

>> Order one plate chicken 65 along with two parotas. Thank me later.

>> Don’t panic because of the color. They add a little too much out of their unconditional love.

>> The taste is at least 10 times better than what one would find at any other restaurant. If it is to be renamed appropriately, it should be called chicken 650.

>> There is another place close by which serves the same dishes. It has a place to sit and eat and the taste is also pretty good. (But it’s defintely not the same. It’ll be like watching a movie named Dang Dang starring Harman Baweja and Zarine Khan)

>> I never had any problems till date but having said that, I am not responsible for any problems your stomachs may face. After all, it is a street side joint.

>> It is walk-able distance away from Mozamjahi market which is a paradise for all ice cream lovers. You can try Anjeer badam, Mango, Seethaphal, Sapota among others at Bilal Ice Creams. Paan flavour is supposedly very good too but I never had the chance to taste it.

>> Like most street foods, it is light on your wallets too.

All things said and done, if you want to try something new and you are not particular about the place, then chicken 65 at Abids is something you should not miss. It is worth not just for it’s price, but the time and energy that you would invest and the time and energy I am currently spending (I am writing this in my office :P)

Coming to the songs that I am listening to, and I think you might also enjoy, try the two links below. Both are composed by Keeravani, and as you will find out, are from entirely different genres. The item song with Silk Smitha is one of my favorites right now. Ignoring the possible profanity and Nagarjuna’s horrible dancing; the melody, Malgadi Shuba’s voice and the Telangana accent all together make this song very haunting. It gets stuck in my head very often and I have no complaints whatsoever.

The entire album of Allari Priyudu is an all time classic. While most of you must be aware of all the songs and each song is beautiful in its own way, I am sharing this song in particular because of its lyrics/poetry and simplicity.
