Our last night in Budapest was spent eating Hungarian street food including their grilled pastry called Kürtőskalács.
Len, Kimberly, and I went back to the street food market fair in Fashion Street.
More stalls were being set up at the square for the Christmas exhibit and fair. Sayang we would be in Prague by then. It must be beautiful to spend Christmas and New Year here in Budapest since they are Catholics too.
Basta kami, bili ng bili, tikim ng tikim.
Kürtőskalács (Hungarian pronunciation: [kyrtøːʃkɒlaːtʃ] is a popular pastry specific to Hungarian-speaking regions, more predominantly, the Szekely land. In the olden days, it was part of festive tradition but now it has become part of everyday consumption.
Kürtőskalács is made from sweet, yeast dough (raised dough), of which a strip is spun and then wrapped around a truncated cone–shaped baking spit, and rolled in granulated sugar. It is baked above charcoal cinders while lubricated with melted butter, until its surface gets a golden-brown color. During the baking process the sugar stuck on kürtőskalács becomes caramel and forms shiny, crispy crust on the cake. The surface of cake can then be provided with additional toppings such as ground walnut or cinnamon powder. (Wikipedia)
The hotel is a short 3-block walk from the street fair. Dark and cold but very safe to walk at night.
The temperature drops starting at 6 and reaches freezer-like coldness at 8 pm. From 12 degrees during daytime, it drops to a low of 5, 2 or even negative 3. Nasanay na ako, I am surviving this coldness. My cough doesn’t worsen but it doesn’t get any better either. I have finished all the medicines my doctors have given me, wala ring epek.
Hi OMB, try honey or organic honey, just 1 -2 tsps. for your cough.
Thankyou Dee.
