Alleppey Food Tour
Alleppey Food Tour Itinerary
On the day of your tour, meet your guide at the Mullackal Temple to begin your walking tour around the best foodie spots in Alleppey, or Alappuzha as it is officially known. Ready to immerse yourself in the flavours of the so-called Venice of the East?
As you stroll along the streets of the city centre, passing the canals for which Alleppey has earned its nickname, you'll visit some of the oldest established food stores in the area. Inside, you'll have the opportunity to sample some of the savoury snacks most typical of Kerala. Try idiyappam, a steamed rice noodle dish; dhokla, made from a fermented batter of rice and chickpeas; and Keralan halwa, one of the region's most popular sweet treats.
Once you've tried halwa, you'll definitely have a taste for the sweet stuff! You won't just get to eat it, you'll also visit a shop to learn how they make it! Sugar, nuts and spices... a delicious taste of India!
Naturally, you'll need something to wash all these treats down with, so the next stop will be in one of Alleppey's local cafes to enjoy a cup of coffee. For the cherry on the cake, you'll have a window seat in the coffee shop from which to admire the views of the beautiful city and watch the world go by.
You'll then continue on your food tour to a store which specialises in Mukhwas. Ever heard of this interesting food? It's a brightly coloured traditional Indian after-meal snack used as a mouth freshener! Mukhwas can be made from a variety of different seeds and nuts, and usually includes fennel, anise, coconut and sesame seeds.
With your palate refreshed, the finishing touch on your tour will be sampling chaat, a typical savoury snack served at street food stalls across India. Bon appetit!
