Fort Kochi INDIAN FOOD Tour - John Abraham Eggs, Masala Seafood & Attractions | Kerala, India

The eighth day of my epic trip through Kerala began in the state’s commercial hub, Kochi! There, my boy Ebbin and I visited the historic Fort Kochi and went on an amazing Indian food and attraction tour! Come along with us as I continue exploring the city of Kochi!

We started early so we could take a ferry across the water to Fort Kochi, which is where the city was first founded in the early 1500s by the Portuguese. There are tons of historical Portuguese and Dutch buildings there.

Fort Kochi felt like a European town, but in the tropics. It reminded me of a lot of places I’d visited in the Caribbean. We headed over to the fishermen’s beach, where they pull in their catch in huge Chinese fishing nets!

The fishermen here have been fishing here for centuries. It’s such an authentic area of the city. As we continued on, we passed vendors selling crafts like jewelry, watches, musical instruments, and elephant masks. Then, we arrived at a fish market, where they auction fish off.

I was getting so hungry, so we headed to get some breakfast. On the way, we stopped at St. Francis Church, one of the oldest churches in India. Then, we arrived at Kashi Art Café, where I had the John Abraham egg white omelet. It’s named after a local Bollywood actor! It comes with mushrooms, sunflower seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pickles, and toast underneath.

There was an overload of vegetables in the omelet. I got a bit of everything, including the toast. It had a bit of an Indian taste and a bit of spice. The pickle was really nice and I really liked the bread! The sun-dried tomato was also outstanding.
Then, I finished up with some ginger tea with honey. It was like pure ginger and the honey gave it a nice sweetness. In total, our meal came to 770 rupees/$10.11 USD.

After breakfast, we headed to do something really special. We headed to the Jew Town to shop for some souvenirs. After a traffic jam (and trying a very deceptively hot chili), we saw some spices and handicraft vendors before stopping in to SPR Naturals Natural Home Fragrances, which sells perfumes. I loved their white rose oil and bought some pink lotus oil for my wife for 600 rupees/$7.88 USD for 12 mL.

Then, I continued on and bought a few things for my two nephews, my niece, and my two daughters, who always keep me motivated. The guy there was super nice and gave me a discount! Then, I visited a shop with tons of wood carvings and copper and brass handicrafts. I followed that up with a stop at the oldest active Jewish synagogue in the commonwealth. After that, I found a Kathakali mask wall hanging for 2,000 rupees/$26.25 USD.

We went back to the port area and the fish market to buy some fish. We got a sea bream for 280 rupees/$3.68 USD and headed to an open-air restaurant, where they charged us 150 rupees/$1.97 USD to cook it up. They grilled our sea bream with masala and added
prawn roast, dal, and rice.

The fish was so soft and the masala was delicious! The masala on the prawn roast was also amazing and I loved the dal!

What an awesome morning in Fort Kochi! Fort Kochi was amazing, from the Indian food tour to the attractions to the symbol of Kerala, India: my Kathakali mask! Huge thanks to Ebbin for bringing me out here. Follow him on Instagram and check out his food and travel YouTube channel!
