In the caption, he gave a detailed description of each of the treats he tried. For instance, he described the Andhra Meal as "a traditional South Indian meal that includes all the goodness you can ask for from a cuisine." He called gulab jamun "genius" and neer dose "heavenly". He mentioned that the pudding made him feel like a kid again. He prefaced these points with a paragraph stating, "All the ratings I gave were mostly based on taste and the techniques used to prepare the dishes, but genuinely, all the food was 100/10. Why? Because food is always about the people and the hospitality of those who serve it, and the experience of sharing the food with others is something that can't be quantified through numbers."
