Seafood @ Sana-dige Posted on July 4, 2006July 4, 2006 Since I love sea food, my culinary antennas always go up when someone talks about good fishy fare here in Bangalore. I had a number of favourites in Mumbai, but here it’s a little more difficult to get good fish. So on a lazy Saturday afternoon, along with Madman, Ree and Menaka, we went off in search of Sana-dige, where I heard one gets good coastal cuisine. And I’m happy to report that we got what we wanted. Really delicious Malvani, Kerala and coastal India fish preparations. I can’t remember the names of everything everything we ate, but the prawn starters and the prawn gassi was rather delicious. The fish preparation pictured below in mango (a little tangy) was Malvani and rather yummy. The pomfret was not bad either. We had the dishes along with neer dosas (which could have been softer by general consensus) but otherwise, we were satisfied. Madman also had Kerala parothas to add to that since a few flimsy neer dosas could not whet his appetite. And along with the meal we had kokum, which had a nice tangy taste (not as good as how they make it at Gajalee in Mumbai though!). And the prices are quite reasonable. After all we ate, we paid about 250 per head. The ambience of the place is also pretty laid back and relaxed. Just right for a weekend meal, I’d say! So if you’re in the mood for fish, head out to Sana-dige. More details on where it is located here.

Heartwarming story! Posted on March 27, 2006 Have you folks read or watched ‘Message in a Bottle’? I loved the book and cried dollops watching the movie. And unbelievable as it was, you still tend to cling on to the fact that maybe these things happen. Just as the protagonist of the novel sets out (even against everyone’s advice) to find the man whose message she found in the bottle, she is filled with a determination that cannot be explained.

Oh Fish! Posted on February 23, 2006February 23, 2006 Had some amazing fish last week at Chennai, when I was there for a one day trip. Caught up with Kiruba, who as always was nice enough to take out some time from his busy schedule. Looking for a place to grab a bite, he spotted a signboard saying Coconut Lagoon with the illustration of a karimeen fish. That was enough to get me enthused and we spied the restaurant, a few metres away. It promised the Delicacies of Mangalore, Goa and Kerala and we weren’t disappointed.

This is what we had: Malvani Fish Fish Pulimunchi Prawn pepper fry Prawn Gassi Pomfret Curry Neer Dosa Appam Kerala Parota Total bill: Rs. 1024 for 4 Reply
250 per head and reasonable!!!!!! good lord – so bloody expensive. why is food so expensive. the wealthier the place gets the more expensive eating out becomes. and btw – i am not exactly poor. just cant understand why food is becoming so expensive. Reply
The place is pretty damn good, especially for the Melvani food. But their live counter is horrendously expensive, no? Anupam’s Coastaal Express and Fishland come to mind as worthy alternatives… Reply
You should try the kokum kadi at Mangalore Pearl, off mosque road! It is delicious. And delectable fish too I’d say! Reply
