Night life in Thanjavur

People eat dinner very late here in India. We usually leave the house to go out to dinner around 8:30pm.
There are a ton of temptations along the way to our pre-determined restaurant. There's a ton of sweets shops, for instance. My favorite, as always, is gulab jamun. Kulfi's ok too sometimes.
And all the wonderful smells arising in the warm dark night from the street vendors. The aloo parathas always smell lovely.
We usually end up at the nearest restaurant, Flamingo, at the Hotel Sangum. They usually have live music.
Even before deciding on the main course, I tend to gravitate towards the desserts for my "sweet tung" &...
... "thrust."
