As day 12 began, I was up and running. It wasn’t until later in the day when I finally sat down and had a snack. At the cafe at the National Museum, I got a paneer parantha. I guess you could call it an Indian grilled cheese.
In the evening, I had a fantastic dinner. The pictures show how good everything was. The only problem [Read more…]
I was so surprised the night before by how good the food was at the restaurant at the hotel in restaurant. The good food kept coming throughout Day 11. I had a fantastic breakfast back at the hotel restaurant in the morning. Just look at what I got from the buffet! I had bread & butter, sauteed vegetables, stuffed parantha (fried flatbread), aloo bonda (potato fritters), masala poha (spiced rice), and vermicelli upma (spiced noodle breakfast dish). Sounds good, doesn’t it!
Having wrapped up my sightseeing in Rishikesh, it was time for a snack at the fabulous Ganga Kinare hotel before heading to my next destination. (Of course, I never made it to my next destination.) A slice of apple pie sounded really good, but they were out. A brownie with ice cream was a more than reasonable substitute.

I never break the Food Diary into parts. But I think Day 10 is my only India post broken up into parts. And my Day 10 dining could easily be broken into parts matching the parts of the day. You’ll see. So…

It took me a while to find my lunch spot, and I was thrilled to finally arrive at The 60s Cafe, also known as Beatles Cafe. Rishikesh is where the Beatles came in 1968 to get all spiritual. This fun restaurant pays tribute to their visit and the spirit of the 60s. It has beautiful views of the Ganges too.
Day 9 felt like a disaster when it began. I comforted myself at bloomsrooms with a traditional American breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast.
When I got to Rishikesh several hours later, I was ready to dig in to some yummy vegetarian food. As Rishikesh is a holy Hindu city, it is vegetarian by law. (Vegetarian, not vegan.)
I was starving when I checked into the fabulous Ganga Kinare. I chowed down on rice, bread & butter, and strawberry & blueberry yogurt. That was to tide me along until I had dinner that night.
Dinner was a casual affair. I had a grilled cheese, followed by a veggie cutlet with fries.
