TGIF!!! End of another tiring week!!! Your party mood is at
its highest. Well technically you have nothing that’ll prevent you from
partying hard & safe. But what next after the great party. Does your
stomach go grrrrrr and roars like the Chennai Super Kings? Your great
after-party mood is being disturbed by the hunt for a place that is pocket
friendly so that you can have a proper meal after all the liquids. Have no
worries anymore. Why go for a meal when you can go in for a sumptuous buffet.
Yes, party goers and midnight mongers, you now have a place to gorge of amazing
food at late hours.
Our very own MainStreet restaurant located at Residency Towers
has a Midnight Buffet special on Friday’s & Saturday’s. Starting only at
11PM, they have a complete spread from soups to desserts that is sure to keep
you full till brunch next day. A few foodie friends and I decided to check it
out and hence begun the midnight food trail for us at Residency Towers, T
Nagar.

Upon being seated at our table, we were provided with a welcome drink. It was a Pineapple juice aesthetically masked like a mocktail. Nevertheless as we weren’t on fluids prior to the buffet, all of us decided to attack it. Following the drink, we were served a refreshing Hot & Sour soup which although nothing special did feel nice at that point of time. The pack then decided to go check out the offerings on the main spread and boy were we not delighted. The salads started comprised of a Thai Mango Salad, Pasta Salad, Dutch Potato Salad and Mushroom & Broccoli Salad. The Pasta Salad was my favourite followed by the Thai salad.

The next on the main were the usual Veg. Pasta on Cream
Sauce, a Fish gravy, a Chicken curry, Kadai Paneer, Mutton Biryani and Indian
breads. Since the salads and non-veg made my tummy fill at that juncture of
time, I did not venture out much into the vegetarian side of the spread. The
biryani was mention worthy and at that point of time, one of the best that is
available. I couldn’t just wait for the others to finish the mains as
MainStreet is of the best places to gorge on desserts thanks to their usually
wonderful and large spread of desserts. I was not let down this time either.

With a spread comprising of Gulab Jamun, Payasam, Caramel
Custard, Orange cake and Lime Mousse, this should be heaven at this point of
time. Being the dessert maniac, I did not leave a single dessert and had small
servings of all that I was able to lay my hands on. The payasam was fabulous so
was the gulab jamun. For caramel custard fans, you can just simply spend your
full time on it. With the end of the desserts we were wondering what to do next
as the time was close to 2 AM and we were all energetic after the amazing
midnight food bash.

MainStreet is located at Hotel Residency Towers, T. Nagar. Priced at Rs. 555/- inclusive of taxes, MainStreet is a
perfect place to end up after some hard partying to satisfy your hunger pangs.
Just a word of caution, the midnight buffet is available only on Friday and
Saturday nights. So all those complaining of no fun at night in Chennai, now
you know where your next weekend destination is.
Happy Partying. Most importantly safe Partying.
