Chill out Gallan style at Mullapanthal ‘shappu’.
We sent off Josgal(a friend of Kochigallan)from the North railwaystation and headed straight to Mullapanthal.Don’t get me wrong Mullapanthal is one of the finest ‘kallu shappu’ or toddy shop in the whole of Ernakulam.
Mullapanthal
Mankaikavala,
M.L.A Road,
Udayamperoor.
Ernakulam Dist.Pin-682 307.
I didn’t ask the address to any one.The panthal authorities gave the visting card to us(yupp they have a visiting card and even had a website)
LOCATION
So where was I?.Yup sent off josgal and we set off (all six of us) in three bikes.It took us nearly an hour to reach Mullapanthal(blame it on the evening traffic).Mullapanthal is located far away fom the madding city.At Udayamperoor to be exact.From Ernakulam go to Tripunithura and ride/drive staright in Kottayam route.After travelling close to 10kms you will see a temple.Thats the identification.The road turns left and then right infront of the temple.Look for ‘Mullapanthal shappu’ signboard on the right side.Enter the shappu.Should I say the next part?
Every one expects a shappu to be a place where antisocial elements hangout.It is true for many shappu.But for shappu like mullapanthal,it differs.Well Kochigallan found people from all strata of society from top level executives of MNCs to the drunken idiots.Even families visit Mullapanthal.But Kochigallan dont advice it.Because a shppu is after all a shappu.
MENU
The Chinese have an old saying”any creature with its back facing the heaven is consumable if properly cooked”.Its true.Visit Mullapanthal and you’ll know.This Gallan had ‘udumpu fry’ ‘beef’ ‘kappa’ ‘kallumeinkya’ and two glasses of ‘kallu’(point to be noted.We drink just to give company not to get drunk and crash the bike somewhere).Tasted awesome.You will get daily special items.All traditional malayali food.
AMBIENCE
Ambience is average.I mean i like it but this gallans personal choice is ‘Chirakkal shappu’ as far as ambience is concerned.They provide seperate cabin(some people prfer privacy).And the ‘shappu has’ a small mulla panthal or jasmine garden in front.
BILL PLEASE
The total bill for this gallan came close to 150rs.Worth every penny(you don’t get to eat yummy’udumpufry’ daily).Thumbs up as far as bill is concerned.
At about 8pm all Gallans went back to home sweet home.Felling relaxed and chilled out(this gallan even foned his galfriend to say hes chilled).THE END.Hope you liked this story please complete it by commenting what this Gallan missed out.
