Eggouting

After a long time today, I met Praj in Bangalore itself. The occasion was to watch the movie "Avataar" - the biggest blockbuster movie for the decade. We had decided to have only one plan at a time - so movie was the first step.
Avatar is a must watch - amazing movie, and you must watch it in 3D only. It looks specatular, the special effects and animation used is too good. After the movie, we started feeling our world as dull - no floating mountains and self inducing lights from plants.
After the movie, we decided to watch the Nilgiris cake show - which was hosted at St Joseph Indian school playground on Kasturba road, near Mallya hospital. The cake show was a flop for us, but the mela at that place was good. And we could lighten our husbands pockets by some amount.
By the time we were finished with our mela shopping, we were hungry and Sheetal mentioned this place - "The Egg factory", where you get really good food. So off we went.
The restaurant is located on St. Marks road, on a small side road. It is not too jazzy and bright. Fitted with wodden benches and normal chairs, it looks like a small town restaurant. But, look at the menu, and you are amazed. It was a really long time that I was seeing food prices in two digit numbers, and I was not so sure that it would be good. Going to these over expensive restaurants, I had developed this thinking that if it is not expensive, it cannot be good. But wow, I was in for a big shock. The menu or rather I would call it a "manual of eggucation" - in the restaurant's own words,  mentioned fajjitas, frittatas, pastas, omlettes. The menu is made like the manual, with itmes mentioned in chinese (or is it japanese) language also.
I never knew there were so many types of omlettes - Plain, masala, cheese, irish, hungarian, chili, spanish, greek and so on ... They also served bhurji, scrambled eggs, bun omlette and a lot of other varities of eggs. You would be amazed at the different recipes that can be created using eggs. You order anything here and it would be containing eggs.
We all ordered different kind of dishes - I ordered a frittata in tomato sauce, it was yummy. It contained a little scrambled eggs. Supratim ordered eggxotica - Eggs Florentine containing soft boiled eggs on a bed of spinach and creamy sauce, topped with Parmesan. This was filled with cheese - which I should have stayed away from, but could not stop myself from taking a few bites.
Praj ordered a Eggxhilarative snacks - Bun omlette, which consisted of a bun filled and topped with yummy bhurji. Jatin ordered a chilli omlette, which everybody shared and ultimately he had to order another dish for himself. Shhetal ordered a pasta. All the dishes were served with garlic bread. Guess what the bill came out to be for 4 couples - .... 1350!!! Not beliveing your eyes? You have to go there and eat to belive that sometimes even a stone can turn out to be diamond once it is polished......

And I almost forgot to mention - do check out the restroom of the place. It is made for people who have the habit of writing on the walls of the loo. They have a blackboard in there along with a chalk. If you wish to show your creativity, do not dirty the walls with your graffiti, instead use the blackboard. That's innovation at its best.The inner door of the loo has 4 handles - 2 for children and 2 for adults. Each handle has a figure drawn next to it - so 2 handles are for men and 2 are for women. I can understand if the door contained 2 handles - 1 for children and 1 for adult. We could not figure out what reason could it be for giving 2 handles each - what is it that made them want to distiguish the men from women handles. If you get to the bottom of this mystery, do let me know too !!!!!!!
