First of all Happy Onam.❤🌹💕...the Onam without the maveli thampuran in the uae but doesn't matter coz we have get the onam sadhya from the house boat restaurant, we waited a bit coz there were that much crowded with all nationalities not only the mallus but from all even i saw an egyptian fam also which dresses like kerala tradition dress saree ufff....but any way 🤍🧡🧡coming to food (sadhya) the serving was bit of inappropriate because there was a lack of space and too much people , the banana leaf was a bit small i cant fill the exact all items too, there was a package of 30 items that include 2 types of payasam , the karikootams and others were superb, but last but not least the main blast was the PAYASAM ut unfortunetly i cant find the happiness with the payasam coz the two were not so good , it was a bit of cocktail i cant get the taste. the palada payasam 🥳 is utterly flop and the other one we can compare with 50-50 .😨😨 finally my review was a bit of average upon...
