About Kochi
Kochi, the Queen of the Arabian Sea,
situated on the Kerala coast, is a city that seamlessly weaves
together its rich history and its vibrant
cultural heritage. Kochi's historical narrative is
a reflection of its past as a bustling
port city, which has influenced its
cuisine over centuries. The arrival of
traders and colonists brought a fusion
of flavours, making Kochi a culinary
melting pot. The city is renowned for
its spice trade history, and these
aromatic spices play a starring role in
its cuisine. Exploring Kochi's culinary scene is a gastronomic adventure in
itself. It is a delightful adventure encompassing a seafood extravaganza
featuring fish curries and Kerala fish fry, the iconic Appam and Stew breakfast,
local delicacies like Karimeen Pollichathu, and the sensory explosion of
flavours in the traditional Kerala Sadya feast. The liberal use of spices
infuses dishes with aromatic richness, as seen in Biryanis, Curries, and
Stir-fries, while the bustling streets of Kochi offer authentic street food
experiences with snacks like Banana chips and Samosas. Pairing meals with toddy,
a locally brewed palm wine, enhances the culinary journey, and concluding with
sweet treats like Kerala halwa and Payasam adds the perfect finishing touch to
this gastronomic exploration. Explore Fort Kochi's
colonial charm, visit the Dutch Palace
and Paradesi Synagogue, and savour
Kathakali performances. Stroll along
Marine Drive, discover royal heritage at
the Hill Palace Museum, and shop at Jew
Town. Cherai Beach offers relaxation,
while houseboat cruises unveil Kerala's
backwaters. Kochi, a captivating blend
of past and present, promises a
multifaceted travel experience.
