Exploring Old Madras and Eating Tandoori Chicken. 🇮🇳

I left modern Chennai to go explore old Madras using the city's impressive metro system to get there. Compared to the Bangkok MRT that I've rode literally thousands of times, the Chennai Metro is spacious and cheap.

Exploring the old town in the baking sun was hard work but fortunately there were many street vendors selling delicious fresh juice, so there's no excuse not to be hydrated. I had four glasses of juice in the first half hour.

I headed from the Madras High Court metro station to Parry's Corner, that the hotel concierge said was a landmark in the old town. When I got there I didn't see much action. It was a Sunday and most businesses were closed. It was still interesting to explore the old streets and check out the colonial era buildings.

In amongst all the old stuff I found a very modern looking restaurant. It looked very out of place so I went in to have a look and a small snack. They had a tandoor oven and served meat so Tandoori Chicken was the easy choice. It had been difficult to find meat restaurants at this point on my India travels so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity of some good protein.

With a fully belly I gave my two strong legs a rest and let someone else's do the work. I took a cycle rickshaw instead of walking to my next destination.
