Pretty sure all the chai lovers are fuming just by reading it. We might skip it because the vendor is seen preparing chai with whole peeled bananas and chikoos! He is rather proud to sell what isn’t even available at 5-star hotels.

13. Pineapple Cheese Sandwich

Pineapple on pizza is still up for debate for some. Now, we are being graced by the same setup on a much lower budget. The sandwich is a slice of pineapple on one bread and the rest two have pineapple jam topped off with loads of cheese.
