Okay so I wanted to start today with a little treat, especially since I hadn't had any lassie yet in the South. I decided to try the most expensive lassie not only in Chennai, but in India.

This was a saffron and cardamon lassie that I had seen a lot of people love, but also had a lot of controversy around this spot. I tried it and am glad I gave it a shot. I wish I could have meet the dad and original owner.

Then I wanted to head to Zam bazaar but we ran into some tuk tuk problems. I couldn't find anybody that would shoot me a good price. After walking the market, meeting friendly locals, and even learning a little Tamil it was time to find a Tuk Tuk.

Nobody really gave me a good price, but I decided just to go. Well, turns out I picked the guy with a broken tuk tuk and I felt bad so I tried paying for him, but he didn't want it. Finally made it to Zam bazaar and my tuk tuk driver didn't have change so I just gave him all the money.

Zam bazaar didn't have much going on so I decided to just go eat. Ratna cafe is a must eat spot in Chennai and I would travel back here just to eat the Sambar. One of the best sambars I have ever had. You could put it on a shoe and I would eat that.

Back to walking and I noticed Jigar Thanda, which I figured was like Raja Thanda in Lucknow. So I went and gave this health drink a try. A nice lady and her cute daughter served me up a glass and I enjoyed this refreshing drink with some locals.

My last task for the day was to go and find a sarong. Still not sure if that is what it is called in the local language or not, but I found me a beautiful white and blue one. Just glad it was big enough to fit around my wide hips and big ole stomach.
