What comes across your mind first when you think of New Orleans
Jazz? Gumbo soup? Mississippi River? Mardi Gras Parade? Or POPEYES?
As for me, it's Beignet (French Donut) of Cafe de Monde in French Quarter, New Orleans. Cafe de Monde has been there for more than 50 years and it only sells Beignet and cafe latte.
I knew this donut from a Korean TV program named "Walk into the World" in March. This was my favorite TV program in Korea and New Orleans was introduced in March of the last year. Anyway, I can't forget the moment when I saw the reporter bit Beignet. The donut looked soooooooo delicious!!! I really hoped to taste Beignet some day but didn't know when it would be. The time comes earlier than I expected!
Last Decembr, on the way to Washington D.C. I stayed New Orleans for two days and went to Cafe de Monde early in the second morning to taste the unforgettable Beignet and I finally ate it. It was sweet and tasty but the taste was not special. Actually, Beignet was a plain donut covered with a mountain of sugar powder. Anyway, it's one of the funny memories in New Orleans to go to Cafe de Monde.
Yes, I guess that it is very expensive... I'm just using a pocket camera, a cheap one but it is possible to take nice pictures even with that one!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that you already traveled all that part of US and having that yum food, sounds fun!!! I'd like to go to the Grand Canyon Nat Park, Zion Nat Park, Big Bend, Yellowstone, New York, Alaska, I heard that rkansas has so many beautiful landscapes....
San Diego and many other places too like Teotihuacan next to Mexico city "Place of The Gods"
Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day!!!
