Try bun butter jam from these Chennai bakeries that are more than 50-years-old

On TM Soundararajan Road in Mandaveli, there is a 70-year-old building with fading yellow paint and blue windows. On its facade, is a bright yellow signboard that says Verghese Bakery. Displayed in refrigerated glass shelves are red velvet cakes, doughnuts and Japonaise cakes — a rare find. “They are fresh and made today,” says Chrisma Rachel, daughter of the bakery’s current owner, Alex Verghese.
