Oooh My Favourite topic! :)

Right, in Calangute at tea time the dairy just down from the fish market (same side) sell samosa's, they put it on a plate for you and mix in two types of sauce! - Stunning! (was 5 rs/- last tie I went, but it's been a while. The same place in Mapusa has a little 'cafe' near the wholesale fruit market, follow the bananas at the bus station (that should make sense to some people! :) They do the same samosa's and a glass of stunning sweet lassi, lassi is 15 rs/- (best in Goa IMHA)

Fruit Salad and Ice Cream - Mapusa, near the cinema (need to walk away from the market up the hill (and ask for directions), you should find an area of lots of street vendors seperated by a small road (in the evenings), one of them does fabulous fresh fruit salad and ice cream (huge portion) for 20 Rs/- Also the same place does the best tasting fresh lime soda in Goa.

Noodles, Omlette Sandwiches, curry etc, same place as above

Chicken rolls - On the road near the entrance to the Mapusa Bus Station, best tasting chicken roll with chilli sauce - Yum - 25 Rs/-

Puri - I never know what I'm ordering (I just point), they have these small balls of mashed up potatoe made into small fried flat balls, then then add chopped up onion, broken dry 'stuff, coriander, apple sauce, pea curry stuff (sorry about all the technical jargon), put on a small plate for 15 Rs/- lovely!

Sugar Cane juice - Everywhere - gorgeous, always ask for freshly made as it tastes so much better, I have it with Ice but you might want to hold the ice (personal preference)

Next to one of the slums we work at, just down from "The Mango House", the best fresh samosa, potatoe wada and capsicum 'wada'?, 5 Rs/- Bread 2.5 Rs/- great flavour, piping hot (only in evenings).

The chai and samosa place in Siolim, just at the junction before you turn down to the bridge is excellent. I would go in every morning for chai and samosa for my breakfast and read the local papers

yes delicious..called Aloo chat!!!

Sugar Cane juice - Everywhere - gorgeous,

but advisable to take your own bottle/glass as the people with hepatitus tend to drink here as it is beneficial for this condition!!! and the glass's just might not be perfectly clean!! we were advised of this many yrs ago by both a Dr and a local!!

We always go to "Walke" diary shop at 4pm for our samosas - we get 2 big veggie samosas with red and green sauce in a bag to take home.
This shop is down from the top of Calangute High Street - on the left hand side before the shoe shop.
You can miss it if you are not watching - it is just a little shop but the samosas are to die for.

My hubbie spent lots of time at Vrundavan hospital near to poipleshadows place near to Mapusa last season and said that it was the best place to get snack except for the Navtara in Mapusa.

Just as you come out of the Marinha Dourada there's a guy who does lovely fresh omlettes which cost pennies...
The funny thing is I noticed a sign he has hanging up saying "NO CREDIT GIVEN"...... :rofl ..........Keith

Okay my Fave topic too Rob,

When you turn towards the Church from the Candolim Tinto at night you will find a cart called King Kane or something run by a young bloke named Salu. Most nights except Sunday you will get Beef Chilly Fry, Chicken Xacuti, Fried Beef in the pao, Sorpotel, Omlette in a curry with bread etc.. All the locals ride there in the evenings...yummy food at reasonable rates

Hi Nogin

Karim's is in old Delhi not far from the bicycle market I think. We stayed at the Tara Palace in Old Delhi in Jan and I think Karim's was just round the corner. Unfortunatly we ran out of time so never got to eat there.

Back to street food!
I love the assortment of deep fried food that the little old lady sitting in the middle of Anjuna market cooks. How she sits there for all those hours amazes me!!
