I was rudely awakened before 7 am the other week after only three hours rest and promised good things for breakfast by Rushad. I like Irani chai a lot but no thank you. I mumbled something in an attempt to make him go away but he wasn’t having it and gave me twenty minutes to be ready (of which I snoozed for fifteen). Then he was very late and I got drizzled on waiting in my leafy lane and had to make friends with a stray dog.
But we drove to Vohuman Cafe, it’s my first ever time and Rushad’s raved about it for six minutes straight. He ordered, we discussed the hilarious old Parsi owner who tells me I can call him Bawa and the eerie baby posters all over the walls and the expensive old marble tables and minutes later, breakfast arrived. It was phenomenal. Soft buns with fresh buffalo cream, slightly sweetened with sugar. Toast maska, with butter you can see melting, dipped into steaming hot tea. Fried eggs, sunny side up. And the menu includes fantastic cheese omelettes and bournvita, things I’ve had on err, subsequent visits. I’ve been making up for lost time, I still can’t believe I hadn’t heard of or been there before, especially when twenty (I counted!!) of my friends belong to this facebook group for it. Ridiculous.

This looks rather spectacular! Had to stop myself drooling when I saw the picture of the toast with pools of butter. And what is buffalo cream? x
Cream made from buffalo milk, which seems to be pretty common here, dairy can mean either of the two. At Vohuman, it’s light and really divine.
OH my god, I want to be back in poooonaaaa!!
looking at that is just soo… *licks lips*
