The BISCUIT CHAI- hot-ticket in Trivandrum.

I stumbled upon CHAIHOLIC, a new outlet, along the Vellayambalam-Sasthamangalam road and the owner introduced me to the new and fancy product- BISCUIT CHAI (tea in a biscuit cup), presumably a Malabar descent, but seen for the first time in the streets of TVM.

Superficially, Chaiholic seemed like a regular 4’0 clock snack counter from afar. But up close, it had few trick up the sleeve. They’ve got some motivating titbits from up-north of the state and, markedly, the tea.

Basically, just like you eat the cone after you’ve had the ice-cream off of it, the chai cup is edible after you’ve had your fill of brew.

I got a miniscule cup, fashioned out of hard biscuit material, and a separate cup of the everyday tea. I poured the hot tea into the Biscuit cup and had it sip-by-sip. The mild flavor of the biscuit mixes with the tea and renders an uncommon tartness.

After being done with the tea, I just chewed through the cup like any ordinary biscuit- a poles-apart experience unlike the customary. The Biscuit cup also dishes up coffee and hot chocolate- worth a try.

Likewise, their Kaipola and other snacks are worth a shot too.

Interesting, @abrahamjoseph236

@MayuriKubal This reminds me of another Indian snack item Katori Chaat where we eat the contents and then the container as well :yum:
