Unpopular opinion: Railways should change vande bharat / tejas of SR's coffee to regular south Indian filter coffee - Its sometimes too much to taste masala coffee or ginger tea - its no way tastier. Especially giving so much amount just to taste that disgusting coffee is bad ! Earlier Mys shatabdi used to serve food according to south with filter coffee. Railways cant make same food all across region and give watery sambar as south indian food . Early premium trains used to have regional food according to zone.

Not...

Right ! Its ok for other states but north TN and KA its always filter coffee ! Shatabdi used to serve idlys , pongal, upma etc - But now its more chapathy , watery sambar kurma with masala coffee (how boring) ! Especially eating those from VB is disappointing

Railways should serve food according to the regional cuisine, especially in the short run premium trains. So, proper south Indian food in say, from the Bangalore originating VBs or fish in the HWH bound VBs.

Non veg or Veg depend on people's choice. If someone select Non-veg then its their choice (fish if thats what the regional is)

This is specifically for veg i am talking about. I see how the menus has been changed compared to before

Completely agree with you with the menu. The coffee powder or tea powder sachet they provide is only half the amount what we use in our home that too with water. You can't expect even a telugu traveller to eat 2-3:rotis in afternoon. Dal and curry are min requirement and add ot it the helpers are all from north and dont know local language.

So true. And Why cutlet for evening snack ! They could do masala vade, medu vada for evening snack with tea. It would make sense even if its NR based MAS NZM rajdhani cause crew might be NR but they do give chaat foods in complete SR trains that are not our menu ! Its zero taste when i say its zero I mean its ZEROOOOO lol. There is this new masala coffee packet they give oh my yucky god it taste bad
