Semiya Bhath & Dosa
Since it was my final day, I went to breakfast because I knew my favorite waiter, Siva, would be looking for me. I decided to try some Semiya Bhath that looked like plain verimicelli with some julienned vegetables. It appeared harmless, but looks can be deceiving - it turned out to be the spiciest thing I have ever tasted! My mouth was on fire the moment I ate it, and it lingered for a long while, even after drinking some orange juice. The waiter said, "It is cooked with chilies, but it is not very spicy." Maybe not for him. :) He then asked if I wanted to try dosa which is a rice pancake that he would have specially made from the kitchen since it is not a part of the breakfast buffet. When it arrived, it didn't look anything like I was expecting (see below left). It was huge and reminded me of a crepe. You tear off a piece and eat it with chutney. It was quite good but it was just so much, and I wanted to make sure the plate looked like I ate it. Too bad my co-workers were not around. I was so stuffed.
