Diwali Snacks Shopping 2007

Judging by the hits on the previous years' posts (here and here) related to the same topic, I thought I might post another one for this year too. This year we decided to buy the snacks for Diwali from only 2 shops. So, here is the list of shops and the things we bought from:
  1. Mysurpa (Mysore Pak) (at Rs. 200 per kg) from Shri Krishna Sweets, N. G. Acharya Marg, Chembur (quite close to the railway station)
  2. Chaklis, Poha Chiwda, Boondi Laddu, and Banana Wafers from Cafe Mysore (and its other outlet "Nayak Sweets") from King's Circle, Matunga
Though the Mysurpa is fully laden with ghee, there is no guilty feeling in eating it; in fact, it probably tastes good only because of the ghee. This is a very soft variety unlike the other Mysore Pak prepared in Maharashtrian homes.
