And we are taking a walk to our next  destination to enjoy the vishuya sadhya sidya I'm saying sadhya. And that is where in our favorite  all-time favorite Gokul Oottupura and this is we have not been to this branch and there's a  history behind this one. So let's come come along with us. Yeah. Come on. Let's go and find  out and do some history lesson. The good part is thanks to the trees on both the sides like we  mentioned in the other video. We don't have to walk in the sun. Yes. So we have some shade on  our side. Lots of shade. That's why never cut trees. You cut trees. No shade. how trees it gives  you oxygen oxygen and shake. Yeah. And did you know that trees actually use carbon dioxide for  photosynthesis? Wa. So while we are taking a walk, we're getting some science lessons from Liam.  Okay. Thanks, Liam. We are at Gokul Oottupura and this is apparently the very first outlet that  started if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it all started.

[00:10:35]what I heard it it was a mess before and then it  became obviously when the the founder of Gokul this is where they started I think it was around  1962 let us know in the comments down below if you know a bit of history we haven't googled much is  this is what we picked up but since 1962 so I was right and this is where everything started there  on the window it says Kerala's favorite or Kochi's favorite best vegetarian restaurant y what better  place again in celebrating this amazing day of Vishnu Vishu Vishu than to have Vishu sadhya at  Gokul Oottupura. As always one thing we like this place is about is the family aspect of it. Come  on let's go. Let's enter from this side. From this side. This side. This side. This side. Thank you  very much. Wa. So there we go. What better way to start our u meal at with this with with something  like this. Yeah. So we got to see the flowers.

[00:11:34]Now we got to see the setup. Yes. At Amazing.  Yeah. At Gokul Oottupura. Wow. Amazing. But one thing we see I don't know why kind of uh feels  a bit like Yeah. Not as viby is in and and this is this is apparently I think one of the main  festivals. Yeah. I remember main celebrations.

[00:11:52]I remember when it was Onam celebrations that we  were told that Onam and Vishu is the two biggest celebrations in Kerala. Everybody celebrates in  Kerala. Everybody does. But Onam was huge and yeah it's like let us know in the comments down below.  But we are enjoying the full vibe. We are enjoying the full vibe. Simple. I think that's the founder.  Oh, it looks like that. It looks like Meena Mam.

[00:12:19]Yeah. Yeah. You see she's got a father's look.  Yeah, she's got a father's look. And ma'am, if you're watching, wishing you and the team  a happy happy wish. You guys are amazing as always. Yeah. Again, this is not this is this  is from from from our hearts. From our hearts.

[00:12:43]Hi. So, this is where our setup is going to  happen. Wow. Nice. No, mommy gets the biggest leaf. I didn't purposely come and sit here. You  can sit with the biggest leaf. We all we all went to our respective leaves. Okay. Yeah. So, thank  you. Hello, guys. Happy wish to all you guys.

[00:13:09]Yeah, there we go.

[00:13:42]I wanted to ask a question. So what's your  name? My name is Savia. Savier. Xavier. Firstly, happy uh Vishu. Yes. What we wanted to know is  what is the difference between the vishu satyha and the onam satya. No onam sadhya and sadhya the  same. So almost the same almost the same. There's no difference. There is almost difference. Okay.  So the only thing is that satya is satya is is something that you take on you have an onam and  that's something that you have on on vishu. Okay.

[00:14:08]So there's the two national festivals we have.  One is onam and another one is vishu. So it's a national place we are giving satyas. Oh wow. Okay.  But the satyas the same. Okay. And what better place than Goku, isn't it? Thank you. Thank you.  Thank you. Wow. Okay. So, got to know that. So, Sadya is the same. All right guys, I have  to ruh cabbage. Oh, your favorite, isn't it?

[00:14:38]Specific.

[00:14:41]It's mine. Somebody has already mixed with most  of the objects here. So, it looks like the the sambar has decided what I'm going to eat with the  rice. I'm sure you're going to finish all of this because you do like there's a couple of things  which is the stew part and you like the cabbage part. So, it's all the vegetables that you really  like and good thing is it's my portion. Yeah, it's this is perfectly portioned. Yes, cuz I don't eat  much rice and it's That should be Liam's portion.

[00:15:08]Yes. I think you're sitting on Liam's place. I  think you should give Liam that one. Yeah, his leaf is bigger. Wa mommy's the winner. Mommy's the  winner. She's actually got the proper size out of the banana leaf. Yeah. So that gets mommy can eat  properly. Liam and mommy have the biggest leaves.

[00:15:28]We are the smallest daddy. We are the smaller  eaters. We can swap around if you want. No, that's perfect. That's just kidding. There's more space.  I think let us just enjoy this amazing meal.

[00:15:44]Let's happy wish you guys from us to  you. Liam will show you how it's done.

[00:15:54]Let let Liam demonstrate how this should be eaten. I think we both we are all  amateurs. Liam is a professional.

[00:16:04]So you break the mix everything  with it. I made the peasy.

[00:16:16]See, just you just mix it. This is better.  Is this more style? It's go go go home, go all or go home. Exactly. It's go big or go  home. It actually what I used to say. Is it? I really like your tomatoes. Is this potato? Yes,  it's it's a stew. It's very nice. Okay. This is like a sort of a kidney beans. It looks like a  stew. I feel this more flavorful. I don't know why. I just feel this more flavorful. I don't  know. It's because of the place of the branch, but definitely a lot more flavorful.  Spicy. Spicy. My bum it's nice. Hot.

[00:17:00]This is like the most flavorful side  I've ever had in my life. Is it? No.

[00:17:04]It's very nice. Have it. Enjoy. Enjoy.  While Liam is demonstrating how to eat.

[00:17:11]It's so big. It's going to say something. This is spicy. No.

[00:17:35]I like the flavors in terms of the tanginess, in  terms of the sweetness, but I I really like it.

[00:17:41]Would you agree with me? Slightly different. More  flavorful. Yeah. Liam doesn't have to say much.

[00:17:51]And Riker's also enjoying it. Yep. Isn't it? And the guys are being absolutely I  like the ambiencece of the place.

[00:18:25]Yeah. This was that one. This one. This is It  looks like um that bitter guard. I was thinking exactly the same thing. It looks like bitter  guard, but it's not green. It's like reddish.

[00:19:33]Yes, please. Yes, please.

[00:19:38]Thank you very much. Thank you. That's one thing  I don't know if you would also agree that Gokul's sambar is amazing. No, very flavorful. Thank  you very much. But how is it as always? So yeah, mommy is saying so also good saying do that  again. How is it? That one. How is it? I'm going to talk. I'm going to talk. How is it? I want  the action. No, no. I want it. Good. It's good.

[00:20:36]Can I get some more? Can I get  some? Can I get this one? Oh, yes. Yeah. Thank you. I'm just liking this.  This one is I finally got my carrot. Oh, eat your carrot. Give your eyesight.  I really like this. I don't know, guys. Let us know in the comments down below.  What is this? I know it is bitter guard. Yeah, but what is this? This is amazing. I like  my stew. Oh, and Liam is loving his stew.

[00:21:01]Wow. I feel this place a bit  more relaxed in terms of eating, in terms of the crowd. Very more relaxed than  the sort of a homely feeling. Thank you. So, I'm really glad that we chose this location  because it really feels kind of homely.

[00:21:14]Not that crowded, not that kind of overly  pressurized. Very calm. too. I think mommy is the right size. It doesn't actually  doesn't actually plate. There you go.

[00:21:32]Hey, look at that. Look at that. Wa  wa. What? We are enjoying a banana leaf meals. Meals on a banana  leaf. Be it veg, be it non veg, be seafood, kata, anyone. Just enjoy  it. This one I find not too sweet.

[00:21:51]Marijke's peeling a banana with one hand  because the one hand is got food on it. She doesn't want to mix the flavor of the banana  and the food. See? Wow. There we go. I got it. I got it. You got it. There we go. Wow.  Mission accomplished. Mission accomplished.

[00:22:10]Loving it every moment. No. Perfect. Thank you.  Thank you. Wow. That is really really amazing.

[00:22:40]So deep.

[00:23:00]I'm done. Mommy's almost done. Almost. Almost.  Liam's done. He's just washing his hands. Then he'll fold his banana leaf. Daddy is literally  licking the banana leaf like he's licking a plate.

[00:23:13]Was it that good? I like the tanginess of this.  The tanginess of this one is like I don't know what it is, but it's kind of nice and tangy. And  the one that almost has like a pineapple. So yeah, the pickle I will not be able to have it  because it's white. But other than that, I'm so glad. Definitely definitely an amazing way  to celebrate and to enjoy vishu. There's Liam.

[00:23:39]Liam is done. Liam just needs to fold his banana  leaves. I fold it away from you because I asked which way do you fold it? And they said away  from you. The reason is because sometimes when you're not finish something or like the um gravy  of it is there, it will fall on your dress. So in order not to mesh your dress, that's why you  fold it away from you like this one like this.

[00:24:06]I like I like to be say fantastic. But I don't  know. That's what he said because sometimes in some places they say you fold it towards  it means you're satisfied. somebody you'll say in this case it's a practical sense because  obviously when you fold it towards you something might fall on your lap but one thing I've seen  one thing we have realized Liam's favorite we give him Kerala rice and sambar I think that's as  far as you need to go you don't need to go beyond that and paputs his favorite his favorite  Kerala meal kerala rice sambar and a pap and mommy is all polished mommy's literally  cleaning a line Well, it was a really good satcha. I just wasn't too fond of the cabbage  one. It was a little bit hot for me and of the vegetable one. I'm also not These are my two  favorites and mommy doesn't like it. Wow. Mommy, I'm not I've had half of them. So, but yeah,  this is amazing. That is I love this one.

[00:25:06]I'm all done. I have a banana. My desserts are  all done. I've had my buttermilk and my rasam.

[00:25:15]The pickle was was a little bit too hot. It was  nice though, but a bit hot. So, but there you go.

[00:25:23]This was an amazing meal. And the reason  why they said that because it doesn't mess, but I just do it traditionally. I put it  to myself. Okay. Were you happy with the meal? That's what I put to myself. He was totally  satisfied. But really, what an amazing experience.

[00:25:38]I think in terms of the sadas that we have had,  I would definitely classify as this as one of the best. Oh yes. I think also because it felt a very  relaxed environment, the ambiencece, the whole meal. I think it's the first time that I really  kind of tried and and kind of tasted every portion of the satya. It's the first time like otherwise  it was like first time experience you don't pay much of attention and I think because we've had  it a few times now we really I think this was an opportunity to enjoy it in the best way possible.  Not just that but I think we also understand the flavors more. Um The more you do it, the more you  learn like which ones go with and which ones you don't really enjoy together. But this is really  good meal. I need to go wash my hands. And yeah, the best I've ever had. Is it? Mommy, here.  Okay. Thank you. We are taking a auto to another destination. Oh, I thought we going That's for  a personal reason. personal reason for kids.

Yeah, this is like the second home. No, this is our  candy store. Okay. Candy store. Okay. Is it yo on the middle wicket? I mean  on the middle. It's actually No, wait. It's called the middle stump. I was  going to say it's middle stump but strictly it's doing it in a look. It's doing it in the  traditional stump. Oh, that was off. Oh, the wide.
