After a lite lunch we made a pit stop at at a place called Nature's Basket (naturesbasket.co.in) and found a few bottles of Indian wine for a Ottawa based friend of mine, plus the elusive Coke Zero and a number of other international cuisine items (like cheeses). I will try and return there this weekend and grab a few things. Seemed to be cheaper than Foodhall. Oh an bought an apple as I had no fruit today so far.
After a full day of work, returned home at around 7:30 and stopped in a my local More's to get some of the essentials. Fat free yogurt, some fruit for this week, a few herbs, some chicken.
Here are some of the prices for freash food:
Around 50 g of green chillies 1.5 INR. or 3 cents Canadian. Oh, btw, we no longer have the penny in Canada so this would cost you 5 cents.
A green pepper was 3.27 INR or 7 cents Canadian.
A cauliflower was 17 INR or 34 cents Canadian.
400g of yogurt is 59.40 INR or 1.20 Canadian.
5 small tomotoes was 5.49 INR or 11 cents Canadian
Coriander and Mint were 3 INR each or 7 cents Canadian each.
12 eggs was 52 INR or about 1.04 Canadian.
2 Cucumbers was 5.67 INR or 11 cents Canadian total.
Around 15 garlics was 51 INR (and they come in a bag so you cannot buy just one), 1.04 Canadian.
A honeydew melon was 28.21 INR
My big ticket item was 4 boneless skinless chicken breast at 262.73 IN total or 5.24 Canadian, followed closley by 4 royal gala apples at 195 INR or 3.89 Canadian.
So broguht all the food back to the apartment and was too tired to cook. Had a few protein bars, a couple pickles, some olives. I tried to heat up a chili protein mix in the microwave and it ended up boiling over and was ruined. By 10:00 pm I was beat and hit the hay.
And woke up at 2:00 am. Dang.
For breakfast, I've planned to go to Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR for short). http://www.mavallitiffinrooms.com and I'll post that review later today. Unfortunately that means I won't be eating for another 5:00 hours...and I've got a bit of a craving today for some reason. Its a good thing that I don't buy junk food anymore as I think I would be scarfing it down.
Maybe I'll go for a walk on the treadmill...
