Beignets at Café Du Monde
I have to
admit something, I just love sweet things, and among them donuts is one of my
favorites. So when I heard of these so-called ‘French donuts,’ I knew I had to
try them. My brother, Diego C, had previously here and he said Cafe Du Monde is
a must-try place in New Orleans. His words were: “you have to try and have one
in my name”.
So following his recommendations the last Saturday 16th of June with some of the PUCE’s professor we went to Lake-View mall, in where there was a Café Du Monde restaurant. We waited in line for 5 minutes and each of us ordered one bag of beignets (3 per bag), and cafe latte or Mocha. Everyone order was less than 6 USD, that seems to be a rational price in NO.
Once we got a table, let me tell you, it was love at first bite. They beignets were similar to one of the things that I like the most back home called ‘empanadas’ but without cheese and in a square shape. Beignets can only be described as square inflated little bites of powdered sugar-covered heaven. Before I had started, I was already covered in powdered sugar. Of course, I was the first one to finish all of them. I bet if you looked in my shorts, you'd still find some sugar.
I'm sure I'll be back to Café Du Monde soon.
Nice man.
