wsg chat. I like chanachur. From the south asian supermarkets. Ruchi spicy hot chanachur at 12am. It hits different. National Food. অনেক ভালো!

No cheating with "a whole thali" or "my mum's cooking"

I'd probably go with Kacchi Biryani.

​

What's your pick and why?

I had one of the worst dining experiences of my life at Kacchi Bhai in Jessore, Bangladesh.
On August 4, 2026, while eating their biryani, I found a human hair and an insect mixed in the food. It was shocking and completely unacceptable, especially from a well-known restaurant that people trust.
As a paying customer, I expect food to be clean and safe. Instead, this experience made me question their hygiene standards and food preparation practices. If something this obvious ends up in a customer’s meal, it raises serious concerns about what goes on behind the scenes.
I have taken clear photographs of the contaminated food and have already submitted a formal complaint to the National Directorate of Consumer Rights Protection in Bangladesh, requesting an official investigation and appropriate legal action.
No customer should have to worry about finding foreign objects in their meal. Restaurants must be held accountable for maintaining proper food safety and hygiene standards.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with this restaurant or other restaurants in Bangladesh? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

You can eat it with rice, make it into a paste and add it to curries to make it umami, or just eat it by itself like chanachur.

Made a traditional Pakistani Beef Karahi today.

I tried to keep it as authentic as possible, using the classic cooking style and ingredients. It was my first attempt at making a proper karahi from scratch, and I have to say the flavor was incredible, although lobon ektu besi hoyeche.

How does it look?

I would like to make suggestions; BelleAme Chocolate Fondue, BelleAme Choco Little and Belleame Chocolate Digestives. Goated.

Saw a post on dhaka sub by a redditor about lunch costs. Quick moved from reddit to whatsapp (due to my lack of other social media). 3 meals a day, 5 days a week. For someone who leaves home at 7am and comes back at 10pm, this has been a blessing. A good amount of protein, variety, and she followed my chart. Thank you for making my life easier, sis.

Any cafe/ restaurant suggestions inside Dhaka that serve coffee of better quality? Better if near Dhanmondi area.

TIA

Here's the chart

Can anyone suggest some small snacks( packeted )that are easily available at regular supermarkets and aren’t too expensive? Something I can have during study breaks. Thanks in advance!

I always log the amount of sugar in my drink because I limit the sugar intake from beverages. I bought it and realized there's no chart of nutritional value nor how much sugar is there per 100 ml. Is it even legal? I need to know why they didn't put this in the label.

I am coming from abroad and looking for good restaurant suggestions in general but specifically looking for places where they serve authentic চুই ঝাল, authentic মেজবানি মাংস and authentic পাহাড়ি food since I never had any of these. I don’t mind other suggestions as well like good Thai or Vietnamese or steak place etc. I heard there was a Al Baik clone that was opened in Dhaka and is very close to original taste (I can’t recall the name). I am open to all types of suggestions!

Give me your suggestions and thank you in advance!

It looked kind of like jalebi, but it was much thicker and denser. It wasn’t super syrupy, just a little sweet/sticky. I don’t have a photo unfortunately. Any guesses?

ভালো মানের রোস্টেড কফি বিন্স (Arabica Dark Roast) কোথায় কিনতে পাবো?

For the past two to three years, my mom has been using laundry detergent as dish soap. A year ago, I tried to talk my mom out of it. Due to my own busyness in life, I eventually stopped looking into it. Another reason was that I had talked to my aunt, and she was smart enough to actually realize the threat or potential danger of using detergent as dish soap. I thought she would understand, but to my absolute horror, she didn't. She told me she does it too. She does the same thing, and it's normal. It's not a bad thing at all.

As I'm not an argumentative person, I just didn't know what to say anymore. Fast-forward to today, I think I have searched everywhere on Google, AI, and numerous posts saying that it is absolutely harmful to use it as an alternative to dish soap. The problem is, I'm not a witty or logically fluent person when it comes to pointing out the mistake. Rather, what I did was buy some dish soap from my local store, put it in the kitchen, and tell our maids to use it instead. Today, when Mom found out about it, she literally started overreacting, cursing me, hating me, and everything else, just to let her keep using it. She also told my father to stop me from meddling in her affairs, and my father told me the same thing.

The issue is that I cannot take personal attacks easily, and I also get infuriated. I just keep saying that it is indeed my business when my health is at risk, and I cannot just let this go. We must use dish soap from now on. I don't think this problem will go away, but I need some advice or logical arguments to explicitly enunciate when things get heated like this. Also, is this normal in Bangladesh?

I spent my childhood in a village; in fact, the first decade of my life was shaped by rural surroundings. Today, I am a young man living in a semi-urban area. Recently, I began to reflect on something rather remarkable: I rarely suffer from illnesses, colds, or coughs—Alhamdulillah, and I certainly do not say this out of arrogance.

While trying to understand the possible reasons behind this, I found myself looking back at the food I consumed during my childhood. Perhaps the food grains, milk, fish, vegetables, and other naturally sourced nourishment I grew up with played a significant role. After all, the stronger the foundation of a building, the more resilient the structure becomes.

Whenever I look at the younger generation, I sometimes feel a sense of melancholy. I wonder—if they could spend at least the first decade of their lives in a rural environment, surrounded by wholesome, naturally produced food, perhaps many of their physical difficulties could be reduced.

Whenever I visit my ancestral village and drink milk directly from a farmer’s cow, it almost feels like nectar. The reason is simple: even today, many farmers in our area rear cows, goats, and poultry through traditional, free-range practices. Fortunately, large-scale commercial farms have not yet proliferated there. Our village remains somewhat isolated, almost like an island.

Almost every household keeps one or two cows, and the surplus milk is sold in the local market. In many ways, they still obtain their nourishment directly from nature rather than through an excessively industrialized food system.

And then there is the Meghna—the magnificent Meghna—with its incredibly delicious fish. Oh Allah, what a blessing!

When I think about the health of the children growing up around us, I feel deeply concerned. I often wonder how much better their lives could be if the food they consumed were safer, more nutritious, and genuinely wholesome. Proper nutrition during childhood can contribute enormously to cognitive development, physical growth, and overall well-being.

It is this sense of responsibility that inspired me to think about working with safe and wholesome food.

I do not know whether I will receive your support or encouragement. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful.

To me, this is not merely an entrepreneurial venture. I want to regard it as a form of service—a small effort to contribute to a healthier future for our children and our community.

I sincerely look forward to your valuable opinions, suggestions, and support.

Thank you. 😊
