I was wandering around the Mattancherry area of Fort Kochi when I stumbled across a surprisingly busy lassi place. On the sign, right under their name, was the slogan, “Beat the heat, drink lassi.”
Considering that I was completely drenched in sweat at the time, this seemed like a solid idea.
The whole point of visiting Gokul Oottupura Vegetarian Restaurant was to try one of their chaats, an Indian dish consisting of fried dough with various toppings and sauces. Alas, I guess that’s only a dinner thing, because their breakfast/lunch menu was completely chaat-free.
Yes, this is my third visit to McDonald’s in India, but how am I supposed to resist when they have so much oddball stuff like this on the menu?
Though I’d heard good things about Nawras Seafood Restaurant, I was a bit wary of the place when I first walked in and sat at my table. It felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be fancy. I was afraid it might be style over substance.
If you’re in Kochi, Fort Kochi is quite scenic and makes for a very easy day trip. It’s just a quick, cheap ferry ride away.
