India is here in Stockholm! Well, that should not be surprising because there are LOTS of Indian folk here because of IT and Science. As we all know, there is a reputation among the Indian folk for their IT competency and since Sweden is all about technology, it is natural that they are here.
Today, I am here to see their India Festival. It was extremely crowded. Lots of food booth. I love Indian food but I don't love the prices here. I gawked at almost all the prices because I compared them with its price in Malaysia.
I did not know that Saravanaa Bhaan is the World's Number One Indian Vegetarian Restaurant Chain. Well, I have not tried them in Malaysia, also not sure where they are in Malaysia. Probably in Little India in Klang or Bangsar. Anyway, check out their prices.
I usually have plain dosa (or 'thosai') for dinner in Malaysia after my usual evening runs and it costs SEK75 here! OH MY GAWD. That is like RM37.50. I pay like RM3.50 back home. 2 pieces of chappathi for SEK70/RM35. I could not bear to buy them. Chappathi is one of the cheapest Indian meal back home - even cheaper than Dosa. Even the mango lassi which is usually an expensive drink in Malaysia costs SEK60/RM30 here. That is way too expensive for me to consume.
As the queues were extremely long, we decided to have food from a food truck. I am not sure if it's Indian food but they have yogurt sauce. We chose 'chicken over rice' for SEK95. I should seriously stop converting all my meals. Haha! The meal was yummy.
I saw an Indian couple next to us having Indian food. The folded bread is Dosa. The orange dessert is Rava Kesary (SEK70). The 2 pieces of fried balls are Medhu Vada (SEK50). I usually buy them for tea break after my lunch (in Malaysia) and it costs RM0.50 per piece for me. Here, RM25 for 2..
