      You'll be spoiled with options in Chennai. I would recommend to try veg breakfast items. Briyani from Buhari or Sangamam - Mount road. For native sweets and savouries try from Adyar anandha bhavan.

      Don't eat junk continuously. Have some fresh juice, lassi and simple healthy food in-between. Like idli , dosa , appam, etc, without much gravies (minimal sambar or chutneys) so that there is less spice.

    Just FYI : Most of these places suffered from flood recently and after effect is still there that’s why you see the streets so messy. I must say your attitude is great even in the middle of chaos and you are honest in your reaction. Keep it up.

    Appam is usually served with veg stew / mutton stew/ egg roast , serving with anything else is sacrilegious, moreover the actual appam as it is made traditionally in Kerala is fermented using toddy ( an mild alcoholic brew made from coconut sap) the taste and flavour of such appam is absolutely delightful. The appam served in Chennai can never be anywhere near to the original…it’s made with rice fermented using some chemicals…

Indians live in many part of the world but they don’t jack up price for Indians anywhere so there is nothing wrong in foreigners bargaining in India to get a better deal just like anyone else unless the seller has a fixed price for everyone and firm on it and no one is gonna bargain for it.
