Exploring Old Madras and Eating Tandoori Chicken. 🇮🇳

- I left modern Chennai to go explore old Madras using the city's impressive metro system to get there. Compared to the Bangkok MRT that I've rode literally thousands of times, the Chennai Metro is spacious and cheap.
Exploring the old town in the baking sun was hard work but fortunately there were many street vendors selling delicious fresh juice, so there's no excuse not to be hydrated. I had four glasses of juice in the first half hour.
I headed from the Madras High Court metro station to Parry's Corner, that the hotel concierge said was a landmark in the old town. When I got there I didn't see much action. It was a Sunday and most businesses were closed. It was still interesting to explore the old streets and check out the colonial era buildings.
In amongst all the old stuff I found a very modern looking restaurant. It looked very out of place so I went in to have a look and a small snack. They had a tandoor oven and served meat so Tandoori Chicken was the easy choice. It had been difficult to find meat restaurants at this point on my India travels so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity of some good protein.
With a fully belly I gave my two strong legs a rest and let someone else's do the work. I took a cycle rickshaw instead of walking to my next destination.

Yea it made my day aswell

Dirty city? How they live in There 🤮🤮🤮
@@euphoriaTR34 Isn't your economy like in the dumps?
@@arjundiwakar The economy may be bad, but people should be clean. Do you want Turkish people to teach you how to be clean? Being dirty is a choice, it has nothing to do with the economy.
FINALLY. A travel vlog that doesn't equate India to only Delhi/Mumbai. Yay for TN!
No one does..
I mean has anyone been to Sikkim?
@@HarshRaj-br9cl sad to hear😞
True Af!!
You doing same comment in his all vlogs 😂✌️ nice
Dear Dale, I adore the fantastic way you are handling and treating all those people in a very nice and respectful manner. Being from The Netherlands it's so good to see such a friendly person from our neighbour country without any snob pretentions staying as human as possible. Lots of love, Johannes. :)
why u don't start vlogging? u'll earn big bucks
God bless the Netherlands too johan. Always soo welcoming and an absolute gem of a country. Wonderful wonderful place
@@aniruddha4023 you can do that too. Why handing out free advices
It amazes how many people were able to understand you either through head/hand signs, English. India is amazing and thanks you Dale for showing this through your lens.
Mate that couple selling the juices being really happy that you were happy was boss.
Yeah I had a tear in my eye when they refused that tip you offered,genuine people trying to make a living at a wee stall at the side of the road ,their liveleyhood🙂👍👍
@@cadagirl4989 Very true
We Indians are just so curious, we just say hello and never hesitate to start a conversation with a stranger!
@Robert Last lol! Weird fetish! you so love to watch them don't you?!
Robert Last What a sad life you must be living to spread hatred in a positive comments thread.
Old man, refused tip, earned respect.

Great person 😊
@@jcxkzhgco3050right
America pls learn
respect to the Uncle aunty he didn't take the hundred rupees tip. this is spirit of Tamil people.
Daleeee, at 15:55, you were literally walking through the street where I used to live when I was in India and that just made me smile so much. Your video has brought back so many memories. Cheers to that mate!
❤
wow
I think is what the purpose of Vlogging is. Where are u now?
That old couple is GOLD.. genuine happiness after seeing another person enjoying what they made.
In India, it is the middle and poor people who are better off than the rich
The rich do the trick of cheating in crores
The museum ticket counter man said no photos allowed and Dale took video of it. Thug life. 😂😂😂
😂😂
That just Dale being dale isn't it? :v
@@jansabana yeahhh
That is just being disrespectful to the local laws..

4:45 we want that empty metro in Delhi 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only delhi people can understand 🤣🤣
Most of chennai people have car so they mostly can't use metro..... 😂

Its a sunday, so no crowd. Its not so an other days.
Also apart from metro we have MRTS and suburban trains and also Bus transport.
Local trains you did not seen in chennai (only chennai people's can understand)
That couple was just so good inside out! The pureness of their heart and those smiles are just so heart warming.
Dale is the best Scottish travel vlogger. He literally entertains himself by just talking.
I like him talking. Hahaha
I just guessed guy must be from Scotland or Ireland with his accent...😀
@@gobimurugesan2411 He's from Scotland.
Haha, yea. He talks a lot
The moment when juice vendor refuse to take tipp form Dale it very heart touching for me
Very nice couple

That innocent juice selling family was amazing. Hard to find guys like these who doesn't want to loot their customer.
Huge respect to elderly couple making juice who refused tip. Selling fresh drink with bringing generator in such heat, real hard working honest men.
Wow! Chennai metro has become so modern and city so clean! Lived in Chennai 3 years 1999 and it was different then. Well done people and govt of Tamil Nadu!!
I love how he's exploring without any help but all on his own
And very cautios and clever..
Not falling for scammers and cheaters.. Good at bargaining.. Better than us locals .. And a good genuine human being
14:51 .......the best part of the video .....Even though they were not well off, they refused the tip....HUGE Respect !!!.....@Dale Philip u gave a 100 rupee tip to a juice seller and 30 rs to the restaurant......I don't think an Indian would have ever done that.......I believe the old couple selling fruit juice richly deserved the tip .....thank you !!!
Such beautiful genuine smiles
Because in india we dont have a tipping culture mate
Dont go only delhi and bombay .. there are more places to explore 😌 you see more indian culture buddy
Have fallen in love with the way you tip correctly and to the people who really are working hard and serve the best as per the resources available with them 👍☺️❤️🇮🇳

I never watched a blog more than 10 minutes long but im watching your 40 to 1 hour long ones yours give some really good vibes man !!!
And now i want to setup a fresh juice stall in every street you going to visit 😂❤️🤝
What I loved about Dale is
You are not giving me anything, I"m not going give you anything.
❤️
I admire that you tip the vendors. You are a role model for self confidence, honesty, and kindness. Still without judgments. Cheers my friend.
Tip for vendors and a big "no" for beggers !! Lessons to learn my friend
i'm sure he'd tip the begger if they did some work other than begging. a lot of beggers don't want to work
@@2cool0 I m Not against charity.
begging is worst degradation of human ethics of working no matter how poor u r .u already get food under govt. ration card. There is a lot of work to do in country,it may be not satisfactory but is better than this
@@hmmmm6685 yeah i agree...i feel the same way. They don't want to do it bvecause they make just as much if not by just begging.
@@hmmmm6685they are also mostly run by mafia equivalent trafficking chains where children are kidnapped, intentionally crippled and then forced to spend their life begging on the streets.
I agree Begging is not the way but there is another angle to this too!! Considering poor people have some capital to start their own small side business can make some living but what about those people who don't have anything who don't have a rupee to their name!! and no one not even the government who shld take care of them shunn them!! and then these helpless people get drawn towards bad influences and/or gets exploited by criminals and mafia organizations against which no one questions or does anything, because no one give a damn about these people, what shld those people do then?? they just rot on the streets and die, and why? just because they got born on the streets or some poor mans hut, just cause they were born in those and many such circumstances which we cant even think about!! what shld ours and this governments responsibility be towards these citizens? They are a citizen of this country after all right, don't they deserve to be accepted in society and get help, don't they deserve a chance to work?? If no one is willing to help them what shld they do then? My intention is not to argue or debate, its just my observation and curiosity which I stated here. Thanks for your time.
35:53 I feel sad After seeing that Old riksha guy Tired and sweaty Every one deserve quality ... Life is so Unfair...May poverty End As soon as possible😥😥😥😥😥
I love these long 40m vlogs! I love seeing the world with you! keep up the good work
Hands down, India is the most interesting country to visit in the world. In fact it’s like several countries in one. I’ve been to India 21 times and can’t wait for this COVID thing to pass so I can get back. Friendliest people in the world. I get treated like family everywhere I go. What a pleasure to watch you roaming about Chennai - one of my favorite cities. Be well - keep those vids coming - waiting for the next one.
Do visit tamil nadu and kerala
What a fantastic experience.
Why not Kolkata?
Nice to know ur love about india
Thanks man..! Visit Gujarat next time 👍🏻
I was in Chennai for just one year which was 5 years before. Still I cherish my memories ❤️ in Chennai. Absolutely Loved my Chennai days. Whenever I think about Chennai happy tears come out of nowhere. Love from Kerala... 😊

THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS VLOG IS THAT HE HAS MENTIONED A TIMESTAMP WHICH IS A GOOD WAY OF NOT WASTING ANYONE'S TIME !!
The unknown Drink at the couples shop is "Rose Milk". Its made of syrup made of rose petals, Milk and Sugar.

There is true love between this juice seller couple.
Not all Hindus are vegetarian. You also passed through one of the best non veg restaurant in all of south india which has outlets even in the UK , "Anjappar".
In Singapore Malaysia as well
Yes... West have this perception that most of the hindus don't eat cow so they are vegetarian. they don't count chicken, fish or mutton as non veg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even Thalapakatti was also there.
The west is going vegan mean while Indians are trying copy the western habits from the last century . No one cares that you eat non veg .
@@VK-wf9qe veganism is a dying fad; no one really cares that you don't eat meat either.

Cheers to Dale!
Good thing you are there to bring us some travel in our lives. Unfortunately you can't bring the smels and taste through out your video. Thanks again, keep traveling :)

Didn't like the guy pissing on the street though. He was literally pissing in the middle of the street, who does that. Some People do it in India but atleast they look for some secluded place to pee if there are no decent toilets around, he was doing it in the middle of the street, most probably he was drunk.
Chennai ppl r honest
My friend visited Chennai last year . He was actually interning at a firm. He told that he faced a lot of racism there. ( He was from North India).Autowalas overcharged him too. Maybe it was a isolated case but still...

Hey Dale ! -- That pink thing you drank isn't faluda, its called "Rose Milk". Unfortunately, unlike the first thing you drank (canteloop) this pink thing is made from things that come out of packaged powder drink mixes like "CoolAid". Back in the 90s they used to make this drink from real rose flower petals !!
I wonder if there is a place to try the authentic one made from real rose petals.
@@Dale_Philip I'll look it up and respond .. but your first drink was definitely organic, non gmo canteloop. Gmo is limited to certain cash crops in India and very few veggies and fruits.. I'll respond soon..
There were none I could find in the quick internet searches I did, but as an Indian living in the USA it is hard for me to see some of the changes that are happening there.. here's how they used to make it (you can do it at home in Scotland)
1. Add petals from 5 mid sized roses to 1 liter distilled water (water must be heated to 75 degrees celcius before adding petals )
2. Cover container with airtight lid and let it sit in the fridge for a 24 to 36 hours. Filter out the water with a sieve if you don't want the petals in your drink, or just blend the whole thing together into a thicker mush using a powerful blender
3. Your rose water is ready
4. Add 1 part rosewater to 2 parts milk , some ice cubes and add sugar to your taste and blend it .. the milk you choose (whole/skimmed/ 2%) will determine the thickness of the final rose milk .. so choose the milk you like.. I personally would prefer the 2% milk
5. Your drink is ready (you can add a pinch of pink food color to make it look like the drink on the streets .. but this is optional)
There is mum and pop shop in Mylapore, Chennai you can get authentic rose milk, mostly ppl have rose petal cooked down and made into syrup which is used to make rose milk
