Nagaland Trip (A night in Sillong)
インド北東ナガランドの旅(シロングの夜)

Local children on the way to Sillong

We took a shared taxi from Goathi to Sillong (400 rupee each). We met a nice local couple who thought that I am a local person rather than Japanese :-). When we stopped for a tea break, we followed the couple and went to a small cafe. We ordered the same food, which the couple ordered. We had pork dish (my first pork in India), minced beef balls and yellow dal(lentil) etc.

Pork dish is in a small cup on the left corner:-)

I liked the meat balls! Me and Sunil were not so impressed with the pork dish. They had fresh salad leaves on each table so that everyone could eat with whatever people ordered. I hadn’t had fresh salad leaves for a long time so I ate a lot shamelessly.

ゴワティからシロングまで、乗合タクシーでいく(一人400ルピ)。感じの良い地元の中年カップルが一緒のタクシーに乗っていた。私のことを日本人ではなく、地元の人だと思っていたようだ。途中、お茶休憩のときに、彼らについて行って、小さいお店に入り、同じものを頼んでみた。インドで初の豚肉料理、牛肉のミートボールとレンズ豆等を食べた。ミートボールが美味しかった。豚はイマイチ。それぞれのテーブルには新鮮なサラダの葉があって、頼んだものと一緒に食べられるようになっていた。この手のサラダの葉はインドにきてから久しく食べてないので、恥も外聞もなく、もりもり食べてしまった。

Lots of shops were selling chili pickles in jars.

The evening at the end of November in Sillong was so cold! It got dark very quickly as well. People enjoyed eating cheap hot snacks at food stalls in the main square. We also enjoyed a few snacks before our dinner. The night in Sillong finished very early but we managed to walk around the town and saw some food markets. Vegetables looked very fresh and good. I was very tempted to buy some good looking radishes but Sunil managed to stop me to do so:-(

food stalls in the square. (Sorry for the bad photo!)
Sunil enjoyed this chow mein.

Pork momo. It was very soft and juicy.

11月末のシロングは、日が暮れるのが早く、夜はとても寒かった。メインスクエアでは、安い屋台で、軽食をしている人達で賑わっていた。私達も夕食前に、いくつかつまんでみた。シロングの夜は終わるのが早いけど、夕食後に散歩し、いくつか市場をゆっくり見て楽しんだ。ここの野菜はとても新鮮そうだった。美味しそうな大根をみて、ついつい買いたくなってしまったけど、ス二ルにとめられてしまった。(涙
