Its vibrant cuisine gets the spotlight this month with a lunch buffet (P1,688) at Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila in Ortigas CBD.

'Kerala's cuisine is a celebration of nature, culture, and spice,' chef Gus said in a press release.
'Through this buffet, we're sharing the soul of every Malayali—where every dish tells a story, and every bite is a journey,' he added.
Guests can savor specialties like the Parotta with Beef Roast, featuring slow-cooked beef cubes infused with coconut and spices, and the Nadan Kozhi Varutathu, a bold Kerala-style fried chicken bursting with flavors of fennel, ginger, and garlic.
Other highlights include the Mussel Fry cooked in fragrant coconut oil and the Kadala Curry, featuring black garbanzos in a clove-rich sauce with coconut, dried chilis, and curry leaves.
