10 Fort Cochin: The Best Coastal Cuisine, yet!

Well, St. Marks Road is ver 2.0* of our own Hauz Khas village {100 ft Road, Indiranagar}. I was enamored as much as my better half, who is a seafood lover, who was thrilled with the offerings of the new kid on the block 10 Fort Cochin. We did have a friendly banter with Mr. Vinoo Vijayan, owner the famous Karthiyayni Hotel in Cherthala known for its famous mullets from the Cochin belt! Tasting began with well plated butter garlic prawns🦐 & tava fry prawns 🦐.... Show stoppers were: Fish & prawn polichathu, cooked in banana leaf, & presented by Mr. Vinoo himself, who puts his heart into cooking & serving people & well it runs in the family, as it's the recipes of Mr. Vinoo's wife & dad 😉 Next time, you drop by ask the history of No:10 Fort Cochin {of Mr. Vinoo & his partner, Mr. Anton Vincent} Asked how the food served was so fresh n the ingredients, we learnt that #pompfrets, pearl-spot, red #snappers, #crabs, and #prawns are delivered every alternate day, from the villages along Arabian Sea coast. . . . #authentic #seafood #fooddiaries #foodtalkindia #sobangalore #storyoflife 📽️ #igersofindia #bangaluru #bengalorediaries #huffpostgram #bbcgoodfood #india_clicks #wanderlustindia #natgeoyourshot #shotononeplus #oneplus3t #fromwhatisee 🍴
