Experience at Indian Coffee House, Trivandrum

After a tired journey finally came Trivandrum station and we were more than pleased to get down.

To fuel our body, we came out of the station and happened to see Indian Coffee House.

Excited after having a wonderful experience at Indian Coffee House at Ernakulam, we reached there.
Unlike the structure at Ernakulam, the Indian Coffee House at Trivandrum had a lighthouse like structure. It had 3 sloping floors and served 30 tables, with 10 on each floor.
So we occupied table number 6 and waited for placing the order.

After 4 mins of us occupying the table, a waiter finally came with the menu card and we quickly placed our water. 9 mins later he came again and placed 2 glass of water. We were so famished by then that we just gulped down the water within seconds of him serving us that.

In the meantime till our order came, we randomly observed the environment around us and noticed that due to the building structure being a slope, waiters had to carry the food very carefully amongst other waiters and also crowd. That was actually slowing the process of you getting the food soon :)

Finally after 18mins, our order came and i asked him for spoons. Again after which i realised that it might take some more time for that to actually appear. After 21 mins, finally the spoon came.
At the 25th minute we were done hogging on our breakfast. My husband wanted to have some tea so we called for the waiter and ordered tea,

The hot tea came at 35 min. However at 37th minute he brought the bill and put it in front of us, Waiters are very prompt in this i guess. We had tea, made our payment and finally left.

This was a total 45 minute interesting experience while having breakfast at Indian Coffee House, Trivandrum.

Travel Trip to Kerala - Ernakulam - Day 1

2/2/2014 - As part of our trip to Kerala started from Hyderabad on saturday by Shabari express which reached Ernakulam next day at 14:30. Train was on time which was a great news to start the travel.
From station we took an auto from prepaid auto stand to our guest house.
Jousrney from station to Guest house was pretty smooth and thankfully much faster than expected. Also there was no trouble in locating the guest house as it was near the main road from station.

Checkin done at Hotel Biju's guest house and we were given our rooms fast.
The rooms were very clean and with windows facing the main rood it was very bright as well.
After some relaxing and exploring around the room, we left to have some snacks near the guest house.
We had checked that Indian Coffee House was near our place and left to have our snacks there.
And again we just had to leave the gate of our guest house and take a left turn and there was Indian Coffee House waiting for us to have some good snacks.
Being one of the oldest hotels, we could see the waiters still wearing the traditional caps with smiling faces.
We had the south indian dosa and coffee for our snacks both of which were served quite fast.
After a happy tummy and good food, we set off to visit Vypeen island.
For this we went to boat jetty and took a ferry to in Vypeen island. On the way we passed through another island and Fort Kochi.
On reaching Vypeen island, we visited church and got to see some awesome Chinese fishing nets.
Had a good evening walk along the beach and watched sunset happening around 18:30
After that for our return we took a ferry to Ernakulam at 20:00
On reaching, headed to Marine drive walkway for a
Long walk.
While watching the people and enjoying our walk, happened to come across a restaurant Hotel Surya and we decided to have our dinner there.
