Beignet (pronounced ben-yay) from Cafe du Monde
According to most guide-books, no trip to New Orleans is complete without some powdered sugar-dusted beignets from this historic cafe. The texture of the beignet reminds me of the hum chim peng sold fresh by the father-daughter at Maxwell market, they also provide a bowl of powdered sugar for their hum chim pengs. Anyhow it is sold in 3, I ate 5 by myself and left only 1 for my darling hubby, you can tell how good it is ha-ha.
It is very packed at all times so be prepared to wait for a table, we choose take-outs and ate it at Jackson Square instead. Love the smell of fresh beignets, the chatters of the people, the music from the baskers around the square, the whole atmosphere is warm and fuzzy~
