There are so many different reasons to why a trip could have easely been the best, but it’s not about the trip itself, but about the desination so I have tried to stick to the destinations that have kind stuck with me after visitng and that I would really like to re-visit for some specific reason.

    Street food karavan

    This is one of those places, that if you dont look to your right, you’ll pass it. Make sure you look for places like this in Budapest though, cuz this was by far the best foodplace we visited. It was like a ruinbar, but with foods. They had everything you could want in the karavans, langos, burgers, Mexican, Thai, pancaces and ofcourse hungarian food. Its really hard to decide what you want, when there’s so much yummie food to choose from but we ended up with two different thai foods and two mexican. Pick your food, pick your drinks and then pick a table. And the cost is next to…

    Ruinbar – Szimpla Kert

    So what is a ruinbar?Well, it’s a bar built in a scrappy building with willfully mismatched furniture, and the most famous of them Szimpla, even has an old car in the garden that doubles as a table and chairs. The environment is really open, but there’s clutter everywhere. Everywhere. Arts and trinkets in all misplace locations making the bar filled with little treasures to find. In the bar area, there are several different smaller bars to get your drink of choice. And of course, there’s a scene with live music. Szimpla is the oldest and most popular of the ruin bars, they pretty much offer you everything you need for…

    Pálinka

    Have you ever tried Pàlinka? I’ts a traditional fruit brandy that has been served since the middle ages, it comes in several different flavours, made with locally grown fruits like apple, apricot, cherries and plum. Sounds yummie right? Well, the bartender was more than willing to serve us a glas of Pàlinka and when we asked if he enjoyed it the answer was no. He compared the taste of the liquor to windowcleaner. Yeah right, one might think. But yes, that man was not wrong. You know that feeling when you spray your windowcleaner and some of the spraydust gets in your mouth, that’s Pàlinka for ya. If you go…

    Gin & Tonic with Cucumber

    Have you ever tried a Gin & Tonic with Cucumber?After devouring gin and tonics in Budapest I found a great recipe online that I modified a bit so I thought I’d share it with you:Ingredients: 50-60 ml gin ice cold tonic water 1 lemon sliced into wedges 4 strips fresh cucumber ice Instructions: My personal favorit is to squeeze the lemon on the topedge of glas, it gives the drink some more sourness and freshness. Pour the gin into two glasses then top with a wedge of lemon and two slices of cucumber. Add the ice then pour over the tonic water. Squeeze in a little more fresh lemon juice…
