Pondicherry Caters (Tasty Thursday)

My second Tasty Thursday lunch at Nathan Philips Square was with Pondicherry Caters, and of course Miss.C.Chan and I chose the longest line with the most tempting food of all.  Pondicherry Caters's booth was cooking Malaysian food, Merthabak in particular.  Pondicherry Caters is probably a catering company but I cannot find their website online and it seems like they participate in food events in Toronto. 

Merthabak is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread with chicken or beef or other meat stuffed inside.  The line was long because of the waiting time.  Each piece of pancake/bread had to be fried on the spot, whereas  other booths might be serving food already prepared.  However, it was pretty interesting to see how our Merthabak lunch was prepared.

Overall, the Chicken and Beef Merthabak tasted very much the same.  It was filling and the stuffing inside the pancake/beard was a little spicy.


This lunch was different since I got to experience something new try something never heard of or seen before.  'To.live.my.life' rates Pondicherry Caters's Merthabak a 7/10 because it was considered a more expensive Tasty Thursdays lunch ($7) with average quality of the food.  However, the idea and the type of food is limited in the Toronto community (from what I know), so it is definitely worth a try if one ever sees Pondicherry Cater's booth/stand around town.
