What would be the best and cheapest [well,i meant a balanced one] restaurant in trivandrum?
Needn't be a high-ambience/AC one,but something which you can bump into when you are damn hungry and not end up getting a hole in your pocket.

I found Rahmaniya at Chala and Ajwa good enough although they are little expensive.

The ones with special dishes like that of Rahmaniya will be highly appreciated.

KEPCO too launching food vans in capital


After the Prisons Department, it’s the turn of the Kerala State Poultry Development Corporation (KEPCO) to roll out ‘food vans.’ Next week, KEPCO is launching its first mobile food court offering the people of Thiruvananthapuram a sumptuous menu to choose from.

In Phase I, the mobile food court will confine itself to parcels, KEPCO managing director Ani S Das said. The menu includes ‘appam’, ‘chapati’, Malabari chicken biriyani, chicken ‘pirattu’, chicken curry, ‘paratha’, egg curry and vegetable ‘kuruma.’

‘’Along with this, soft drinks like ‘Jive’ and ‘Milma fresh’ will also be served. The food court will be on the road between 12 noon and 2 pm and 7 pm and 10 pm in selected spots like Medical College, Statue, VJT Hall and East Fort,’’ he said. The dishes will be hygienically packed in aluminium foils and containers.

The decision to roll out the mobile unit was taken at a meeting convened by Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Minister K P Mohanan last week. ‘’We use only good quality meat to prepare the dishes. KEPCO has perfect control over its meat supply chain. It ensures optimum weight (less than 2 kg) broiler birds which are free from chemicals like hormones, additives and growth promoters used for slaughtering. The food is prepared with utmost care and under perfect hygiene,’’ he said.

The mobile food court will be launched by the Agriculture Minister on May 9 at Thiruvananthapuram Press Club. The Minister will also launch KEPCO’s home delivery facility on the same day. With its chicken sales soaring in the city, KEPCO has been planning to roll out a home-delivery system on motorcycles.

Various government agencies like the Kerala State Horticultural Products Development Corporation (Horticorp) have already launched mobile units to cash in on the public’s growing preference for the shop-at-your-doorstep trend.

Slice of the Big apple



Try American favourites at this new restaurant at Thiruvananthapuram
With Chinese, Indian and fast food ruling the dining scene in the city, a joint that serves food that one finds in an American diner comes as a fresh change.

The newly opened restaurant with limited seating called 1976 Once Upon A Time, has no parathas with beef curry or fried rice with chilli chicken on the menu. Instead, there are thick, juicy burgers and tall, frothy milkshakes. And no, there are no salads or ‘health’ food for the calorie conscious.

Not feeling particularly hungry but curious to try out the dishes, my friends and I order a plate of Chilly Cheese Fries (Rs. 80), Chicken Fingers (Rs. 150), Juicy Lucy (Rs. 140) and The 76 Roll (Rs. 125) although there are a host of other dishes with interesting names such as Tatsuta Chicken Burger, Curry Wurst, and Chimichanga. Although I wanted to try The Italian Hot Dog (sausage, cheese, mayonnaise, tomato, barbecue sauce and caramelised onion), my waiter disappoints me by saying that the order of ‘special’ buns used for the hot dogs have yet to come.

While waiting for our food, we take in the décor, which is rather curious. It’s neither a garden themed restaurant nor a diner. The day’s news fills the night air from an antique radio, which the waiter thankfully turns off as the volume was rather high. A gramophone and a couple of black and white photographs help create an old world look to a certain extent. Our paper placemats have a brief write-up on how burgers came by.

The food comes piping hot to our table. The Chilly Cheese Fries has long strips of crisp French fries, covered with curried meat and strips of cheese. The dish is a fusion of flavours, though one wishes that the fries had a bit of salt in it and the curried gravy, less of spices. The lack of salt in the fries is forgiven when one scoops it with the curried meat and melting cheese.

The Chicken Fingers is passable: thick strips of boneless chicken dipped in batter and fried. While the outer coating is crisp, the chicken could have done with a bit of seasoning. Expecting something resembling a sausage roll, we are pleasantly surprised when our waiter brings us the 76 Roll. It is a wrap with pieces of chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce and caramelised onion. It is served with a helping of fries and a glass of fizz of our choice. The pate for the Juicy Lucy burger is juicy but the burger bun merely passé. Although I want to try the fried ice cream, as none of my friends are willing to risk their waist lines, I decide against it.

1976 Once Upon A Time is at The Capital, GPO Lane, and is open only in the evenings. Contact: 2471987

Gone are the days when you had to go in search of food in the city. Now food will come to you, through the KEPCO Mobile Food Court, a restaurant on wheels. The mobile restaurant can be spotted at three points in the capital city.

The KEPCO mobile court serves Malabari Biriyani for Rs. 70, egg curry and vegetable kurma for Rs.15, chicken curry and chicken pirattu for Rs. 40 and Rs. 50, parotta and chapatti for Rs.5 and appam for Rs. 4. Mobile food court also assures good quality food in their clean kitchen.
