Whenever I am in Bangalore I come to Amber. Usually I have butter fried Masala Dosa, Uttapam, Vada Sambhar and hot Gulab Jamun. Once or twice I had non-vegetarian dinner here comprising Paratha, Chicken Curry, Fried Lever and Kesari Bath. Of course I had Ice Cream. It had cost me about Rs.150/- only.
Once I had come here with my family, when I was working at Mysore.
So, visiting Amber is like experiencing something precious. Amber is always in my mind, as Bangalore and Mysore are.
