Alaistair DeMendonca is a big foodie. We caught him in Bangalore recently, sitting in Koshy’s and talking about food while waiting for his lunch to arrive. This businessman from Pune was visiting Bangalore and seemed to have one agenda on his plate (so to speak.) Food.

Are you a foodie?

(Looks down at himself and giggles) I am a foodie, yes.

What’s your favourite cuisine?

Lebanese if you want to be specific; but everything actually.

What’s the last place that you went to in Bangalore that you really enjoyed? What did you eat there that stood out?

We were at Toit last night. Nice place. Their fish was really nice. We had some cheese balls I don’t remember the name but it was excellent. I’m told their pizzas are great.

What’s your favourite dish of all time and where did you eat it?

A Turkish Shawarma at the Turkish Embassy.

What is your least favourite dish?

Bhindi.

If you have to recommend a place to our readers what will it be?

Still exploring. Been here just a day and a half. I like the culture of the city in general. I want to hit up all the old school pubs in Bangalore over the next two days.

Explocity is thinking Pecos, Pub World and Guzzlers Inn. What would you recommend?
