A very delightful chocolate cafe that warms our cold windy arrival. The Aztek Choxolat Cafe is very cosy and half the shop is filled with wide varieties of chocolate and spices!
Their signature chocolate coffee
Alot of Budapest architecture includes these statuettes and figurines from Roman and Greek art
Something like the Orchard Rd in Budapest
You would have never guessed, but this statue in jester hat is known as the "Little Princess". In the background is Buda castle
Check out the graffiti!
The leaves are falling in autumn.....
But the flowers in the parks are still vibrant, and looks really nice among the fallen autumn leaves
One of the restaurants recommended by our guidebook, Fészek, it serves traditional Hungarian fare
Some rosé wine to accompany our meal
Ghoulash, looks same everywhere, but taste better than alot
The glorious light during late afternoon is wonderful!

I was on the Chain bridge.....
The Opera House
Fozelékfaló Ételbár, an eatery frequented by many locals
It serves Fozelék, a national dish, and our guidebook says, "if you have not tried it, you have not officially been to Hungary".. :)
Fozelék is a cross between a soup and a stew (reminds me of some sort of gruel), and comes with several varieties. This is the spinach version. There are peas, potatoes, chicken Fozelék etc as well
Of course, they serve other foods to go with your Fozelék. There are Hungarian crepes (palacsinta) too
Back at Ferihegy airport :(
Right on the very last day, just before going to the airport, we finally found this Turó Rudi, a chocolate covered cream-cheese bar. This very Hungarian sweets is loved by locals and supposedly only found in Hungary.
