A stop at Trilogy in the Crown Plaza is a must when in Kochi.
About this review.
The reason for my recent trip to Crown Plaza Kochi, Kerala was to research recipes for my cookbook 'The Curry Guy Veggie. My wife and I packed a lot into our short two week stay.
My friend Chef Jomon Kuriakose who is originally from Kerala and is now Head Chef at Lalit London told us we had to visit their restaurant Trilogi, at The Crowne Plaza, Kochi during our stay. Luckily, he just happened to be visiting Kochi while we were there and arranged for us to do just that.
We only stayed one night at The Crowne Plaza and I can confirm it was very nice. Just look at the view from one of their bars!
The real treat, the one we will remember most was the food at the Crown Plaza Kochi restaurant Trilogy.
About our room.
The room was amazing! We had an excellent stay as our room was not only a nice size but had all the extras!
The view was amazing. I can highly recommend staying at Crown Plaza Kochi but I was there for the food!
About Trilogy at the Crown Plaza Kochi.
We visited Trilogi at the end of a long but very fun day. To be honest, both Caroline and I didn't know how we could possibly eat any more as the day started with an incredible breakfast at Jomon's friend Shihabudeen's home before being whisked off for many more must-try food adventures in the city.
We ate Kochi that day!
After our tour of the hotel, we went to Trilogi and were joined by Jomon's long time friend Aneesh Prasad who is the Crowne Meetings Manager at The Crowne Plaza and Hazel from the marketing department.
If there was one thing that struck me from the beginning, it was the nice ambience in Trilogi. It was such a nice and relaxed atmosphere and one you would expect from The Crown Plaza, Kochi
Jomon asked for a selection of Keralan classics and we were in no way let down. I'm not really sure what each dish was called as the names of the dishes were in Malayalam. I did, however get a list of what we were served that evening and I highly recommend you write them down if you are planning a visit to Trilogy at the Crown Plaza Kochi. Just ask for the same, you won't be disappointed!
- Vazhapoo Kadala Parippu Cutlet
- · Chemmeen Urulakkizhangu Dosa
- · Idiyappam Chemmeen Biriyani
- · Kanthari Chicken
- · Kuttanadan Tharavu Varutharacha Curry
- · Meen Manga Curry
- · Mutton Kurumulagu Chaps
- · Seafood Thenga Paal Soup
- · Vazhapoo Ela Ada Payasam
- · Semiya Lakottappam
Many of the dishes were beautifully plated. Every bite left us wanting more. You've got to try the thenga paal soup. I got the recipe and you can try it here.
Then there were the curries! These were all served more homestyle which I loved. The waiter would bring Keralan rice to the table and serve it before adding a mutton, fish, chicken or vegetable curry. As you can see from my plate below, there were a few curries on it before the mouthwatering chicken curry. I've got to get myself back to Kochi soon to learn from Trilogi's talented chefs. They really put on a show to be remembered.
I have so many great memories of my visit to Trilogi. I would sincerely like to thank Aneesh and Hazel for making it all happen. We had so much great food during our stay in Kerala. When in Kerala, you can't go wrong with a meal at Trilogi. I am really looking forward to going back.
