Missing those childhood treats





Thain/then mittai

Kadala mittai

Wheel chips (no brand/no name)

Milk bikies

Aavin paalkhoa (this is the best)

Kismi bar

Amul butter

Vegetable puffs

Rose milk

Soan papdi

Nutrine chocolates


Ferrero Rosher is one of my favorite chocolates after Cadburys Dark..but nothing can beat all these fabulous treats that I have had in the past. And the most amazing thing is that you just have to walk to the nearest “potti kadai” to get all of this.

Chennai la city la kedaikkum thaen mittai... I discovered that recently. I thought that thaen mittai is gone for ever until I found shops in Thiruvanmiyur sell it even now.

Eppavume unaku Jalra thattiye bore adichuduchu...So, here is my 'true feelings' about the items in your blog :P

Thain/then mittai - Yucky :P

Kadala mittai - handmade.. highly unhygienic. Often the cause of diarrhea breakouts in india :P.

Wheel chips (no brand/no name) - Brand/Batch No: illatha things vango koodathu theriyatha.

Milk bikies - Decent Choice

Aavin paalkhoa (this is the best) - Much Better

Kismi bar - Horrible candy. Sapidalaina Kismi Bar kudupen'nu enga amma bayamuruthuvanga... avalo kevalama irukum athu.

Amul butter- Agreeable.

Vegetable puffs - Very High in Calories, saturated fat, cholesterol and often adulterated ingredients.

Rose milk - Artificial Essence
Soan papdi - Ananda Bhavan Son pappadi is ok. Intha thallu vandila periya glass vechu kondu varuvane athu illaila?

Nutrine chocolates - Did they have chocolates? However the word resonates with another word that refers to a liquid waste that is contains 95 per cent water, other major and common constituents being sodium, ammonia, phosphate, urea, sulfate and creatine, urobilinogen. Athu ennanu solla maten...
