Bengaluru Vlogger Reviews Idlis Priced from ₹5 to ₹5,000 in Viral Video

The influencer rated a ₹5 street-side idli as the best while a ₹5,000 gold-plated idli failed to impress.

A Bengaluru-based vlogger, Cassius Clyde Pereira, taste-tested idlis across a wide price spectrum, ranging from ₹5 at a roadside stall to ₹5,000 at a luxury restaurant.
The ₹5 idli, served with two types of coconut chutneys, received the highest rating of 9.7 out of 10 for its taste and simplicity.
A ₹50 idli from the popular Rameshwaram Cafe was rated 7.2, while a ₹500 idli from the Taj Hotel scored only 4.2 due to dissatisfaction with its flavor.
The ₹5,000 idli, adorned with 23-carat edible gold, was criticized for its underwhelming taste despite the opulent setting, with the vlogger leaving it after one bite.
The video, which has garnered millions of views, sparked conversations online about the relationship between cost, taste, and value in food.
