Qatar Airways has managed to lose all 8 pieces of our luggage. So in search of bras, knickers, socks, tee shirts and some posh clobber:
Yes, it's Lulu Mall Thiruvananthapuram, World of Happiness! Young people carrying water included. I'll spare the retail detail, and move on to the food court meal.
My Chicken 65 Biriyani meal. Disappointing even without comparison to the lovely biriyani at Lulu Mall Kochi last time. OK, I've had much worse food many times for much more and much less money, and sometimes I've been grateful for it. Not tonight.
Fried chicken momo, my daughter's choice. Quite good. The red sauce is a fiery chilli sauce. She saw the seeds and thought they were tomato seeds, and heaped up a load on a momo, much to her regret. In retrospect she was probably expecting a tomato acchar, the gentle traditional accompaniment her Nepalese maternal grandmother serves her.
Steamed paneer momo, which looks the same as the steamed chicken momo. The chicken was good but the paneer was not. Momo has become very popular all over India, but this is the first time I've seen it in Kerala.
Cardamom milk, masala chai and almond milk, all served hot at a tea stall. Excellent.
