Hi everybody, we— how's everything going? We've been out of touch for a long time. We haven't spoken really. I haven't made a lot of videos recently. Yeah, because my friend, 2 friends were stuck in the ship Diamond Princess and they just came back to Canada after almost being on the ship for more than a month and they were really suffering. So we were really like down all of us were down, and now that they're back in Tanton, they're waiting for their quarantine period to be over. We are glad, and so we've come out to a dosa joint. Okay, this is called the Udupi, the dosa joint. This is in Toronto, heart of Toronto, and I'd like to look in, like, show you around the place. And this is the dosa that we are having. That's the Chettinad dosa. Mysore. Mysore. साला दोसा। सी हाय तू मेरे हसबैंड। हाय। और ये कुछ और डाल दिया है। एंड दिस इज़ समथिंग आई एम हैविंग। आई थिंक आईल बी एबल टू गेट इनटू दिस। दिस इज़ पेपर दोसा। ओके, यू गाइस मुश्किल नोइंग ऑल अबाउट दिस, बट यू कैन सी दैट सो मेनी कनेडियंस हु आर इंटरेस्टेड इन दोसा बिकॉ which cannot be replicated. It's such a wonderful, you know, thing made just out of rice flour and urad dal. That's it. There's no— there is nothing else in this. So that makes it for a very simple meal. And I suppose a lot of vegetarians would love to have dosa. There's a bunch sitting behind me who are all Canadians, mixed race, so they're all loving dosas. I saw a few walk out. Everybody loves dosa. Everybody loves dosa because it's a very simple vegetarian meal, and I do love dosa. Okay, so here's the decoration. Decoration is nice and healthy. Thank you very much. It's not too bad, and you can see there's a star, there's a veena actually, and a duolok. And yeah, it's very simple decor, nothing exceptional. Decor is fine, but the food is really good, simple. It's in the heart of Toronto. It's at Gerrard Street. Okay, so we're having fun. I hope you guys enjoyed the food video. Bye-bye! I'm planning to make more food videos from now onwards because there are lots of food and eateries in Toronto. So the types of eateries that we go to, and this is— I'm starting with the dosa, South Indian joint. Have a good day! Thank you!
