V.V.Puram Experience:

The first thing you will notice at V.V.Puram is that you will get a feeling as if you where in an Indian middle class marriage hall. Everyone seems to be very busy but the truth is they have all come to have fun and eat their hearts out :-). I have been here several times every time it has been a great experience.

In the evenings the whole street will get decorated with loads of carts/mobile kiosks and small permanent shops. As the moon raises slowly up the crowd on this street also picks up momentum. you will find several groups of family members/ friends/ college students strolling from one end of the street to another in hunt of a new experience.

Everything that is available for same is prepared fresh in front of your eyes by these vendors. If variety is spice of life, then this place is full of life. Everything available in these shop is displayed. Depending on your taste buds choose the items and have fun.

My favorites being:
- Kaai holige / coconut pooli / obbattu (you cannot miss to identify this shop)
- Kuzhi-Paniyaram (Available in a larger shop when compared with others almost at the center of the street)
- Babycorn mango masala. (Available in carts)
- Congress masala: A mixture of several nuts , fruits and some spices. (Available in a small shop just before the kuzhi-paniyaram shop)
- Butter Gulkund-icecream: The most expensive item of the above list(Rs. 40) . It is extremely good. (This available in a corner shop, near the library)

Also do not miss the V.B.Bakery at the end of the street. It is one of the oldest bakeries in Bangalore. All the items are good.
The best ones I like here are:
- Spl. Rusks.
- Groundnut-butter-bun (kadle-bija bun)
- dumroot (available only on sundays)
- Karabun and aloobun

Do visit the place and have a feast. If you another minute to spare do write a comment on the article.
