Hello,

Heading to Semma soon for two. Here's where I've landed:

Small / starter

- Mulaikattiya Thaniyam

- Eral Thokku

Medium

- Gunpowder Dosa

- Mattu Iraichi Sukka

Large

- Valiya Chemmeen Moilee or Ghee Roast Lamb Chops

Bread

- Parotta

A few things I'd love input on:

1. Is this too much food for two? Happy to over-order a bit, but don't want to waste anything.

2. Eral Thokku + Valiya Chemmeen Moilee — both seafood, worth keeping both or pick one?

3. Am I missing a must-order I'd regret skipping? Specifically thinking about a vegetable (Mangalore Huukosu?)

Not pre-ordering the Dungeness crab this time. Appreciate any input from folks who've been.

We have some bandit algorithm proposals at work. I would like to get up to speed on it. I don't need deep knowledge. I am an engineer but not in ML.

Are there good resources you recommend?

I’m currently in NJ and considering a move for a few reasons: lower taxes, being closer to friends in South Jersey and PA, and my wife’s new job, which requires driving to parts of Philly. I still need to commute to NYC a few days a week, and my wife needs good airport access.

People have suggested areas like Newtown or Washington Crossing, saying the tradeoff is not that bad.

I’ve heard:
You can drive to Trenton and take the train to NYC
You can use the American Airlines bus from Trenton and go through TSA there

The commute seems manageable and the fact checks out on paper, but I’d like to hear from people who actually do it:
How reliable is it in reality? Are delays common?
How crowded does it get? What has been your experience?

Thank you.
