This
is
one
of
very
old
hotel
in
Trivandrum.
My
grandfather
used
to
bring
my
mother
and
uncle
here
in
their
childhood
some
50-55
years
back
as
now
they
are
in
60's.
This
hotel
is
very
nostalgic
for
people
like
them
who
were
in
fort
area
then
and
coincidentally
Lakshmi
Nair
showed
video
of
it
in
YouTube
recently
with
same
background.
I
and
my
mother
went
there
and
my
mother
was
excited
to
taste
the
same
after
many
years.
To
her
surprise,
they
haven't
retained
taste
of
food
how
it
was
many
years
back
and
mainly
their
Poori
used
to
be
very
small
in
size
and
won't
be
fluffy
(i.e.
Maida
wasn't
used
earlier)
at
all
like
how
its
today
which
is
what
you
get
in
any
other
hotel
today.
All
curries
was
just
watery
and
didn't
had
much
different
taste
except
that
it
was
bit
sweet
and
bland.
Potato
curry
didn't
have
single
potato
,
onion,
green
gram
curry
didn't
have
much
of
green
gram,
another
curry
which
had
cabbage
in
it
didn't
gel
well
with
Poori.
Chopped
Onions
with
some
sweetness
was
good.
Masala
Tea
was
good.
Earlier
they
used
to
have
sautéed
Thondan
Chilly
as
one
of
the
item
which
isn't
kept
now.
My
mother
felt
old
taste
of
curries
is
lost
as
it
used
to
be
tastier
unlike
how
bland
it
is
now
and
also
Poori
preparation
is
completely
different
now.
She
feels
that
they
haven't
passed
on
the
cooking
style
to
next
generation
properly.
We
were
interacting
with
another
family
who
also
visited
this
hotel
from
90's
and
even
they
agreed
that
taste
has
changed
long
back
itself.
In
such
case
celebrity
like
Lakshmi
Nair
should
tell
the
truth
and
not
mislead
the
people
saying
it's
still
having
old
taste
as
it
is.
I
definitely
didn't
like
this
at
all
and
I
felt
for
the
quality
they
are
offering,
its
not
worth
the
hype.
But
yes,
for
people
in
their
50's
or
60's,
its
nostalgic
for
them
as
during
their
generation
this
hotel
was
one
if
its
kind
with
unique
taste.
I
didn't
feel
any
kind
of
uniqueness
when
I
tasted,
neither
for
my
mother
who
loved
it
earlier.
For
today's
generation,
they
can
just
go
and
try
it
for
namesake.
Overall
its
an
average
food
now,
just
hype
nothing
more
!!
