One of Ernakulam's poshest areas is Panampilly Nagar and there's a host of restaurants here serving everything local to global. One of our favourite joints here is Little Soi, a Pan-Asian restaurant that offers you pretty much everything from dim sums to pad thai. The spiffy restaurant has a pretty cool decor that blends elements of Kerala and Asian -- the huge mural of a Kerala grandma holding sushi with chopsticks is obviously the stand-out piece.
The menu is curated and picks out some tried-and-tested favourites that include dim sums, baos, sushi, noodles, curries and fried rice. We recommend ordering the Kung Pao Bao, Sichuan Chilli Chicken Wonton, Crispy Salmon Maki, and Chicken Madura Satay from the small plates section. For mains, we really enjoyed the spicy Indonesian Redang Curry paired with Hokkein Fried Rice. The Pad Thai comes recommended too.
To wash it all down, the Iced Milo is what we recommend. Yes, iced Milo, you read right!
