Oriental Spice and Food Store

Honestly, this week I had less ideas than usual, firstly because of my disappointment with a Greek deli (which I will explain in a separate post), and secondly, because I really want to be concise with the content, so I want to stay on the East. On the other hand, I ran out of Eastern delis. Then, suddenly, my friend, Eszter started to tell me about this little Oriental food store in Buda, just a corner from Millenáris. What really drew my attention to this place is that regardless of its size, which is quite small compared to other food stores I have visited previously, it still has an offer just as good as any other. As I mentioned in previous posts, no matter how many food stores I visit, I simply never run out of ingredients yet to discover. Well, it wasn't any different this time.

Exotic India

This week we continue with Eastern flavors and fragrances by introducing ourselves to the diverse gastronomic universe of the country of spices: India. For this occasion I have visited the best Indian delicatessen shop in Budapest, Szép Kis India, which is located in the heart of the city, on Wesselényi Street. This store is truly a guard of original Indian tradition as it is managed by an Indian family. Now, this shop is really the one that a European fellow would definitely label "exotic", as Szép Kis India, with its colorful products and mouthwatering sights opens the world of Eastern cuisine to us.

Asia Shop

Yesterday afternoon I decided to accompany my aunt to the big market on Vámház körút and she mentioned that there was a superb Asian delicatessen shop right next door, so I peeked in. Wow! There is nothing (and when I say it, I literally mean NOTHING) you cannot find in this enormous food paradise! I found it especially amazing, as this was the first shop that I haven't visited before, which is strange, because I have walked around this place probably more than a thousand times. With this, I welcome you to the diverse culinary world of Asia, and even more!

Fish & Chips

This is probably the most popular food that you can get in England, and, luckily, it is also one of the cheapests. If you walk into an English diner or restaurant and ask for the good auld fish and chips, there's no way they don't have it. It is simple, tasty, and inevitably very easy to make if you want to cook a delicious English meal at home. No matter how and where you eat it: from a simple white plate in a crowded cafeteria or packaged in newspaper on a busy street, it always tastes sooooo English! Read on, to find the ultimate recipe of this wonderful meal!
