Pushkar: The Food Scene

5) Malpuas: Have malpuas. By the truck-load, because this is the best you’ll ever have. Period.

I used to detest malpua before this (and I doubt that I’ll have it anywhere else) and took one bite out of politeness, on much insistence. And I do not regret my good manners in this case.  It converted me into a fan in just one bite. You have to taste this one to know what is being talked about. The one available outside the Brahma temple is amazing, and so was the lot I got packed for my mother, from Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar. She too said that those were the best she has ever had. For me, that is a certification enough, because my mother has the sweet tooth that I seem to lack.

P.S. If you are watching your weight, it is advisable that you stay away. There is no concept of  ‘just-one-bite’ in this case.

6) Fruit-salad and juices: We had it at Sonu Juice shop. It is on the main lane leading towards the Brahma temple and is a small shack serving fruit-salads and juices. It had “Ashok is here” subtly written all over the place. Apparently, the guy has been written about quite a bit.
The salad we ordered for was fresh and well-made. They specialize in a combination of shakes and juices, some of which are pretty innovative. 
P.S. : Direction cue: Ganga restaurant and Sonu Juice Center are bang opposite each other.
