Everyday, we buy fresh vegetables. My wife, daughter and son-in-law help me run the shop; they dice and clean and we don’t have a free moment all day. Our regulars keep coming back only because they’re happy with our quality. And when parents take home packed soups or sandwiches, the children will find out if it wasn’t bought here in ‘thatha kadai’,” he says.
The idea took off immediately; people from all over Chennai began to flock to eat his colourful salads — rich in sprouts, and finely diced vegetables. They love his omelettes — two eggs, mixed with vegetables, and cooked with very little oil; and his soups — made from scratch.
You know, soups should not be filling, which is the case, if you add corn flour. My customers enjoy my soup, because it’s more of an appetiser.”
His hard work has evidently paid off. His shop, diagonally opposite SIET College, has been featured on television, and gets routine mentions on the radio; and VIP customers visit often. “Big chain stores have approached me, to stock up soup with them. But I don’t have any such plans; I only want to run this shop well… I want to introduce more items, perhaps fruit salads and fruit sandwiches.”
