BAO - A restaurant by the cable bridge Aldona-Corjuem



 We are quite happy with this restaurant and have plans to visit very often.
 
This was our second visit in less than two months.
We like the rice plate and the thick prawn curry that  comes with it besides Tisryo, fish etc
 
Fish prices also sounds reasonable
 
some pics

Could I be wrong?
I remember this Thali costing us Rs.150
We had two meals and two small softdrinks
And the bill was 300+
When asked how much the same piece of Visonn would cost in a separate platter

This one at City Pride. St. Inez Rs.120

Their tisrio, value for money Rs.40 only
But the lone bar tender seems to be of hot temper or rude
For him Customer is not the king, sooner he accept it better for him

This one at Goa-Velha, near Pilar
New Restaurant cum fast food at night

I asked for extra curry or umann and they charge me Rs.7
(first time we ever charged for curry). Bangddo you see was completely off that
we did not eat it at all.
Tisrio you see were not well done. Only the Rice & Curry was good and fresh,
hence I asked for more only to use with our leftover portion of plain rice.
