People often ask me where do I go in my personal time and I struggle to tell them that here are not even 5 places where I go when I want to just be. .

While a half written story on my favorite places to eat in Delhi has been lying in my drafts for months, today I talk about just one if them.
.
.
Not having grown or studied in Delhi meant I was introduced to All American Diner quite late in life. Which was a good thing in a way because I could at least afford to eat there. .
.
A timeless little restaurant where you almost always have to wait and no one ever asks or expects you to leave, the place in the first look had reminded me of Pop Tate's (you didn't read Archie's? Never mind). High stools, cool decor, nice food we're added benefits. And before I knew I was a fan.
.
.
Today, Delhi has far better American food available. Waffles that are softer and airier, pancakes that melt in your mouth and samplers that are the size if a dining table. But no place is like this place. And thank God for that.
.
.
These are my favorite things to eat here -- veg pot pie and hash brown. Also, fish fry and coffee. .

When Pa Pa Ya invited us for a tasting of their extensive dimsum menu, I couldn't say no. Having tasted their dimsums at the @asianhawkersmarket I was looking forward to check their whole range. .
.
While as a rule I don't go out on Saturday evenings, I had to make an exception this time due to some work going on at home during the day. In retrospect it wasn't a good descision. The staff was accommodating and got us a table even though the place was jam packed but the noise and smoke (next to the open kitchen) was overwhelming. .
.
The dimsums and my server however calmed me a bit. Known to serve over 68 types of dimsums in vegetarian and non vegetarian versions, the menu also looked exciting. Mains, desserts and special cocktails were also a part of the extensive menu.
.
.
The server insisted that we start with the non veg versions lest we would be too full to eat them later. He was right, though I wish I got to taste some of the exotic ones too. .
.
While the dimsums were nice some came to us at room temperature and not streaming as I like them. Thankfully all.were not cold. The soup filled dumpling was interesting as was the Bao. .
.
What stole the show for me was the udon noodle. Just so beautifully flavourful and yet subtle. I almost finished the plate by myself. .
.
Should you try the dimsum menu, sure you should..just don't go on a Saturday evening. And yes, don't miss the udon noodles, soupy dumplings and the bao.
