Located at the courtyard of Rossitta Wood Castle
We were so beat after our transAtlantic, transArabian flight. After clearing customs in Mumbai, we were off on another flight, this one to the province of Kerala (South Mumbai). From Kochi airport, it was an hour-and-a half cab ride to the island of Fort Cochin.
So on our first night, for our first real meal (excluding airport snacks), we decided on Lotus Restaurant, which is also run by our hotel, Rossitta Wood Castle. As the waterfront/fishing area was a mere two blocks away, we were guaranteed superfresh seafood. After taking our order, the cook went off and shortly returned with the fresh catch of the day.
Pan-grilled calamari, with boiled veggies and french fries. You could taste the squid ink too. Yum.
Fish molly. They had kingfish this day. It is a Keralan specialty, where the seafood is cooked in a coconut curry sauce. The sauce was rather thin and could have used more spice. OVerall, it went great with the chapati, which we ordered separately.
Final bill. The USD exchange rate is roughly 50 rupees to the dollar.
