What I Spend in a Day: Varkala India

[@jennyslatten3493]

What a gorgeous place in India. That young man was such a cutie. Hope your having a great time there. I'M enjoying your video's so much. Envious for sure! ☺

[@romanlillie]

Yes! I'm having so much fun!!!

[@Thirstytraveler41]

A business idea: A coconut store by the coast!!! Btw, I am falling in love with Varkala, nice beach town I must say. What is the name of the restaurant you love so much? ..Looking forward to seeing more videos on Varkala.

[@romanlillie]

haha yes! Ottupura is the name of the restaurant. But it's time to change cities...

[@kirans3326]

Roman Around The World I've been to Varkala last week. Your views on veganism and local chocolate noted. I'm studying the prerequisites for a Vegan Eatery in Tamil Nadu.

Awesome video 💞💞👍👍

Very nice of you to like everything veg. God bless & take care.

Snickers in local town.......Globalisation backfires.BTW if you enquire about any coconut oil mill in the area you can buy fresh coconut oil which made from sundried coconuts(kopras). The oil you bought is probably made from machine dried coconuts. Both have different qualities.

[@romanlillie]

oh that's good to know about the coconut oil. I'll have to ask next time. And yeah, I was really bummed that I couldn't find local chocolate.

[@Paws.of.Justice]

Roman Around The World chocolate in kerala is found in munnar and near Hill station

[@CIOXYZ-c6i]

I think drinking Coconut water is seasonal the water is better in the rainy season so that might be why they are not selling them. I am just guessing.

[@midhunkannan6425]

200 rupees is too much for lunch even though it's buffet.... normally a meal with all these vegetables and pappadam and other varities would cost from 59-75 rs

[@sunnyboy91]

Hi from Vienna, before you leave for France please visit ooty its a hill station and very beautiful, lots of things to do there nice botanical garden and the view is splendid. Take a 2 day trip if you can its nice.Enjoying your videos have fun.

[@romanlillie]

Oh thanks for the tip! I'm not sure that I'll have time on this trip but perhaps on my next trip. I really want to visit the hill stations.

[@rohitkhosla8110]

ottupura is quite known place. It is a restaurant chain and famous. There are no big Indian chocolate brands. Only artisan home made ones. They are restricted to production area.

[@romanlillie]

Oh wow. I didn't realize it was a chain of restaurants. Good to know! And too bad about the chocolates. I'd much rather give my money to local businesses and producers of chocolate.

[@qeeran]

‘Oh it’s really good .. it’s really good ... it’s REALLY good’ girl I died! 😂😂😂😂

[@Laura3235]

How hard is it to find out if things are vegan? Are food labels easy to read/accurate? I have a severe milk allergy so any little slip-up can kill me. Even in the US, it seems like most people don't really understand the severity. I always wondered if people in other countries would say something is fine just to sell it to me. And they just don't understand the consequences of it. I would love to find vegan chocolates (in India and any country) but I would be sooooo scared to try them. Do you find that most people are honest with ingredients? Are vegans common in India? I just found your channel and I've been binge-watching it. It's soooo much better than the male travelers cause it's much much more relevant. I love that you give tips specifically for women. Thanks, Laura

[@Halonablack]

This looks like such a beautiful town! I haven't heard of it before. How did you plan your trip around the country? Did you have places in mind, or do you just kind of fly by the seat of your pants?

[@neelapawandeka2622]

Visit North-East India Too ......

[@jithendranambiar7699]

Local chocolate bars do not have advertising to support them just as mentioned by you mason of auroville is popular especially by word of mouth

[@romanlillie]

Yes. I wish more stores would carry the local brands. If they only sold those and not the snickers I bet people would then buy the local ones to get their chocolate fix.

[@amaleshhari9392]

It's a coast line area you won't find any local chocolate there...

[@romanlillie]

What are the good areas to find chocolate? I need to go LOL

[@amaleshhari9392]

Roman Around The World No joke mam chocolate grow on hilly areas like munnar specificly

[@freddietalk7664]

When you come back try visiting Cocoacraft in Fort Kochi and Manna's Chocolate Factory in Munnar.

[@YuperSoutuber]

thanks lot of information in this vlog

[@drabdell]

You had a good time. Enjoy, i like the video.

[@romanlillie]

[@rashmitamaharjan339]

Which hostel did you stay in varkala

[@klamentyne5991]

What hostel were you staying in please? Loving your videos :)

[@romanlillie]

Yay thanks. I was staying at Pagan's hostel.

[@dishadharmraj6986]

Hey do you think you remember where you had the two curries for the lunch sort of thing, I'm heading to Varkala in 2 days and my mum's vegetarian so I think she'll enjoy it :) I'm so happy you're enjoying your stay here in India

[@TheVeganMuslim]

Nice video, BTW, We Indians eat chia seeds too, it's not for foreigners alone!!! lol

[@romanlillie]

Oh, great to know!

[@deepblue3682]

Are you still in varkala?..!!

[@romanlillie]

Just left.

[@deepblue3682]

Roman Around The World ,could have met yesterday..))..take care..

[@redarmyF]

Very good. People like you bring mony to India, stay at well known touristic places which I can avoid for I don't want to meet tourists like you. So I have the huge rest of this beautiful country for me and the other travellers.

[@amaleshhari9392]

Why are you not having rice? Rice is the main course in kerala...

[@romanlillie]

It upsets my stomach :( I never ate rice growing up, and now when I have it, I don't feel well. So sad...

[@amaleshhari9392]

Roman Around The World now i know

[@yvettereed2865]

YUCK!! Snickers. I bet their chocolate is so much better.

[@jithendranambiar7699]

You should eat the curry with some bread

[@romanlillie]

I like bread, but bread and rice make my stomach hurt.

[@AmelJose]

@@romanlillie haha you are strange!! :D

[@NunOnABike]

Sambar is not a soup as it has a lot of masalas and all nothing really healthy going on there.

[@romanlillie]

Oh no. Too much oil?

[@NunOnABike]

Roman Around The World yes there is oil for sure but I don't think it's a lot in sambar specially. Good dish would use like 2 tsp of oil, if more it doesn't taste right. Depends on the dish/chef.

[@Paws.of.Justice]

Shoulda had pants sambar is healthy if it home cooked

[@rifnarajan3690]

It's prepare with a lot of vegetables and it's very healthy and tasty ...we mostly used sambar as curry with our meals
