YAARL CAKES TORONTO - 765

           YAARL CAKES - TORONTO 

YAARL CAKES IN SCARBOROUGH, IS A MUST VISIT PLACE WHEN ON A VISIT TO TORONTO.  IT IS SITUATED  NEXT TO THE FAMOUS  SHUNMUGANATHASWAMY TEMPLE . IF YOU HAVE  KIDS AROUND WITH YOU OR EVEN OTHERWISE  IT IS ALMOST MANDATORY TO VISIT BOTH THESE  PLACES DURING ANY VISIT BY A FAMILY IN AND AROUND  THIS LOCALE .

THERE  ARE A  VARIETY OF CAKES EARMARKED  FOR DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS WHICH COME  IN ALL CONCEIVABLE SIZE , SHAPE  FLAVOUR AND TASTE .

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS OWNED BY THE ONES FROM SRI LANKA  WHO ARE NOW SETTLED HERE IN CANADA AND WHO INITIALLY CAME  HERE AS  REFUGEES  DURING AND AFTER THE ETHNIC WAR  IN THEIR WAR TORN COUNTRY . TO BE MORE SPECIFIC THEY BELONGED AND HAD  THEIR ROOTS IN YAZHPANAM OR JAFFNA IN SRI LANKA . 

IT MIGHT INTEREST SOME TO KNOW THAT MY OWN LONG DECEASED MOTHER IN LAW HAILED FROM THIS PLACE . THIS LED ME INTO A MORE DETAILED SEARCH ON THE NET ABOUT  THE ROOTS OF MY BETTER HALF ON HER MOTHERS SIDE  , WHICH LET ME KNOW THAT  " A BLIND MAN BELONGING TO THIS PLACE BY THE NAME OF PANAN WAS VERY GOOD AT PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CALLED THE YAAZH  . THIS PROWESS  GOT HIM THE PLACE AS A REWARD FROM THE RULERS AND HENCE THE PLACE CAME TO BE CALLED AS  YAZHPANAM " .

THIS BRINGS ME  BACK TO YAARL OR YAZHPANAM CAKE HOUSE . TRUE  TO ITS NAME THE CAKE WAS REALLY AWESOME . EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE AND MY GRANDKIDS IN PARTICULAR ARE ALL TIME FANS OF THE  CAKES FROM YAARL CAKE HOUSE .

 Here i am , a Retired Person nearing the three quarters of the Century Mark  , musing about the many  childhood dreams . There are many things which have caught my fancy as a schoolgoing kid and later on in the teens. It is only fair to say that Some of those Important  Dreams , thanks to the lord above have been realized and and sadly there are parts of the same that  are never going to see the light of the day . The early part of my teens was at a place called Kharapur in W Bengal .Now, dont get me wrong , it was not at the IIT for which the place is  obviously more famous for the World over , but the Railway Colony of which my Father was very much a part. I did my schooling at the Railway Mixed Higher Secondary School there. My fathers previous posting among a lot many other places  was at a place called Chakradharpur in Bihar and my early  schooling was entirely  in the Hindi Medium. The school at Kharagpur though had a sizable Anglo Ind...

It is  a festival which has the Ladies garnering all the limelight during the Nine Day Festival with THE GOLU as the highlight .
