Poondy Bread Bakery

…on a cool December night.
Nearby Kennedy subway there was this nondescript, semi-​sketchy 5-​shop plaza.
Inside, a spacious waiting area surrounded by sides of pre-​cooked and fresh-​made.
South Indian customers commonly found awaiting as fresh-​made takes wait-​time.
Rotis on the Flat-​top while the one-​man all-​in-​one ask me for my order.
* Seafood «thing» pls. Pointing at the photo with no prices in sight.
–Nope, not available.
* Mutton (?) and String Hopper pls.
— Okay
He walks back to manning the prior orders of Rotis on the Flat-​top. 10 – 15 min…
— Mutton. Small[Diping sauce-​size]? Medium?
* Medium. [Later found it to be Cold Curry Mutton]
— String Hopper? [Shows me pre-​packed container of plain] Mixed Hopper?
* Mixed Hopper pls. [Later found out its called String Hopper Biryani, Cold]
— $ 6.00 pls
* (^_​^)
================================================
…on a warm January night.
* Beef Roti pls. Looking at their Dough[Memories of fresh-​made Murtabaks]
— No Beef Roti [REJECTED again]
* Kothu Rotty
— Mutton or Chicken?
* How much per each?
— $ 6.00
* Both
As a different one-​man staff attends to an older Woman walking in from the back.
A Person sticks head in holding Children in tow. Orders blah blah and leaves.
5 min in… I speak to an awaiting customer about Beef Roti.
10 min in… I speak to another customer about Kothu Roti.
15 min in… I hear and see an insane double-​handed chopping on the Flat-​top.
Loud like Thunder, if Thunder hit ground on 0.2 seconds intervals for 1 minute.

What’ll bring me back. The spicy small diced Mutton Curry (+0.5 star).
Have to remember to order bigger portion along with Plain Roti. That’s all.
