Badam burfi from VB Bakery

Just terrific, if I had just two words to describe them. The best ever badam burfi, the conventional ones I had tasted were from Bombay Tiffanys in Mysore, and the best badam halwa, needless to say was at MTR.

The VB bakery badam burfi is different from the ones you get in normal sweet shops like AAB, Asha Sweets, etc. It is made differently, with some kind of a base flour(not sure, it tastes like that) unlike those shops where it is just badam and sugar. This actually tastes better, or so I feel currently. They are quite filling and are sprinkled with dry fruits like grated pistas etc on top.

The badam burfi itself is very very nice, and is quite expensive...last I heard some years back, it was approx Rs 10 per piece I think. It is available in Butter Sponge on Vani Vilas road in addition to VB Bakery on Sajjan Rao Circle, VV Puram.

While at Butter Sponge, try out the kodbale and avalakki, both are extremely good.

  1. Other than Badam Burfi, my pick from VB Bakery is Domrot(Halwa types), it used to be available only on Sundays. Not sure how it is at present.

    Other unique item available there was Masala Bread or sometimes called Irulli bread.
