I moved to Kolkata this month. I was amazed at how friendly and helpful people are. They are polite, don't comment on your personal life as much, they help you with their own initiative. They have this amazing art of balancing moving out to helping you and minding their own business. Also dope food. Affordable living. The best big city i have lived in India

Why don't you review Korean food in Kolkata at Korean restaurants about how authentic it is? And how different is it from real Korean cuisine? Love your videos.

@jayeetaraha2103

@ananyashee3685

Please also try to go to the restaurant called "Bhuter Raja Dilo Bor" It has also the proper Bengali attire and it is inspired by the famous Bengali movie "Gupi Ghayin Bagha Bayin" In Bengali, there is a tradition to eat on Banana leaves instead of a plate and you can also get it there

@rinkidas7880

I am Bengali,and I'm happy to see that you visited kalkata and ate Bengali food😊😊❤️

@Archer8638

Loved the video!!, Bengali food looks soo good 🤩

@lj6369

There're two types of ginger .. one is normal ginger .. another is kind of ginger which smells like mango speacially used in gupchup or golgappa water for flavour reason. We also use it while making Vada or pakoda batter. It's good for health . It's uses are very specific.

@nixonraj

6 Ballygunge Place was the right choice. Still the best over the years. Watching you enjoy all that amazing food.....it's getting hard to finish my bowl of cereal now. Thanks a lot !!

@love4thegame358

Most ppl miss out on the beautiful 'city of joy' but there is so much to offer in this and the winter's r very ideal to visit. The food is too good and I crave for this food which i miss. Extremely lucky u r there. Great vlogging as always.
