#itaste #dindigulmuttonbiryani #sivabiryanihotel 🔥🔥 அருமையான திண்டுக்கல் மட்டன் பிரியாணி, மட்டன் மிளகு குழம்பு+மட்டன் சாப்ஸ் எங்க சாப்பிட்டேனு தெரியுமா? Google Maps; https://www.google.com/maps/place/Siva+Biriyani/@10.3653743,77.9692671,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3b00ab84108ff10d:0xf2898a022529fb7c!8m2!3d10.365369!4d77.971842!16s%2Fg%2F11vd75w_v6?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDExNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D


A wonderful Dindigul biryani which is far better than thalappakatti or ponram biryani. Yes, I am talking about Siva biryani hotel. Situated in Dindigul, this place serves a fantastic mutton biryani to which I have become addicted. Now if you are looking for chicken biryani or white rice here you'll be disappointed coz that's definitely not available here…

Though the menu is limited here, the taste is a no-match. I tried out the mutton biryani, mutton chukka, mutton brain fry, mutton chops, prawns 65, and crab masala….




All the dishes were excellent … the mutton chops is a star dish and I recommend all to try it out. The mutton biryani and the mutton melagu (pepper) kulambu combination is just wow, better than the biryani and dalcha combination. My final verdict- Although the prices are on the higher side , the taste is heaven.
Prices- Mutton Biryani 1/4 plate - 200 inr Mutton chukka. -180 inr Mutton chops. - 220 inr Mutton brain fry - 180 inr Prawn 65. - 190 inr Crab masala - 320 inr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What started as a humble cart has grown into a beloved shop known for its irresistible snacks.
While their menu includes sweet and savory options, we sampled their signature Butter Bun, Chocolate Bun, and Jam Bun, paired with a glass of rose milk. Here’s our verdict: -The Butter Bun, sprinkled with sugar, was absolutely delicious and stole the show! -The Jam Bun and Chocolate Bun were delightful too. -As for the rose milk, it was just average.



If you're a fan of buttery, sugary treats, this Butter Bun is worth traveling any distance for! Don't miss out on this star dish when in Dindigul. ------------------------------------------------------

It’s like stepping into a postcard with its green fields, majestic mountains, and peaceful rivers. Here’s how my day went: I booked this trip through a travel agent (TripAdvisor or Booking.com—I can’t remember exactly, but I blame my bad memory). They picked us up from our hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter at 7:30 AM in a comfy van, collecting a few more sleepy faces along the way. The Snack Stop Our first stop? Breakfast, of course! I tried a tuna banh mi and coconut coffee. Let me tell you, coconut coffee is a game-changer. Stop #1: Hoa Lu Ancient Temples We visited the Hoa Lu temples of the Dinh and Le dynasties. It was a crash course on Vietnamese kings and temples. History, check!

Lunch Like a King Next, we hit Ninh Binh town for a buffet lunch. Veg, non-veg, desserts—you name it, they had it. Let’s say I left the table very happy. Stop #2: Tam Coc Boat Ride After lunch, it was time for our boat ride in the Tam Coc River. With 2 people per boat, the ride was slow-moving through the lush green scenery of agricultural fields, mountains, and caves. The view was just amazing and it just mesmerized me !!!! The ride was for 1 to 1.5 hours and I truly loved it. The boar riders expect a tip of about 100,000 vnd ( Vietnam dong) you could go with 50,000 to 100,000 vnd for 1 person. So I gave 200,000 vnd since our boat rider was an old lady.










                                        
Stop #3: Mua Caves and the Big Climb The van took us to Mua Caves. If you’re feeling adventurous, climb 500 steps to reach the top for jaw-dropping views of the Tam Coc River. The climb is no joke—some steps are slippery, and the peak near the dragon is a bit risky, especially when it’s crowded. Not into climbing? No problem. There’s a massive lily pond and water-filled caves to explore too.





Heading Back We had a quick snack break on the way back and reached Hanoi by
7:30 or 8 PM. Cost and Tips The entire day cost just ₹3,500 (~$41), covering travel, sightseeing tickets, and lunch. Tips for the boat rower and van driver aren’t included. Pro Tip If you have more time, consider staying in Ninh Binh. There are lovely hotels near the Tam Coc River and Mua Caves. In short: If you’re in Hanoi, don’t miss this trip! It’s a day full of fun, food, and fabulous views. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
