Temple City Hotel- Opp to Madurai Bus Stand:

Then, I had tasted the Rava Dosai here. This was crunchy and had the taste of pure black pepper to spice things up!

Jigarthanda:

Then, I moved to Vilakuthoon where we can get the Jigarthanda. It is a traditional and GI dish in Madurai made of sea grasses and weeds. Good for health. Parcels are also available. Costs vary between 25-50/-

Royal Falooda:

Then I moved to Gowri Krishna Hotel at Kalavasal Byepass. This was somewhere around breakfast time. When I ordered Royal Falooda, waiters were astonished. This is called as 'Royal Falooda' because of the Gigantic size of the glass. If you are an average food eater, this would be suffice to run an entire day. Once can easily trace out the contents by looking at the photo itself.

This shop has the regular offer of giving away unlimited pizzas for Rs. 265/- daily. They have daily challenges for foodies as well. You can win exciting prizes.

Then we moved to Nainar Juice Corner. Started in 1899, this juice shop is run across families. Famous one is Mapillai Juice or Energy Juice. I have taken a snap of the ingredients as well. This has a secret ingredient to it which was not revealed by shop owners. Also try the famous rose milk and badam milk at the rose milk shop near this shop.
