#69/365 Peek

...through restaurant door. This act could only be done on early weekend morning before the business opens;  which I did this morning. I don't frequent this part of the town much, but I do know the former Greek restaurant is now a Grill station.

#67/365 Puzzled


Reading the town's coffee table book and online info., the Katona József Múzeum (est 1894) is as if still in operation. However, I took a walk there one day and found the museum in state of disarray. See it for yourself in the picture below
To say the national flag in the picture is dusty is an understatement! What a pity to see this gorgeous building in such a state. Hopefully the mayor's office will act fast before it really become an eyesore; especially that it is located right next to the main bus and rail station.

Location :-
6000 Kecskemét, Bethlen krt. 1

#65/365 Fornetti


We're at another Hungarian brand cafe. It is a straightforward set up and catering more for takeaways rather than sit down. But once in a while it is nice to just slow down for a cuppa + newspaper + chocolate linzer biscuits ...bliss!

About the cafe...
Fornetti bakery was founded in our town, starting as family business, in 1997. Later it offered franchise business, which is why you see them all over the country now and even a few abroad.

#64/365 Cafe Frei II

We featured Cafe Frei's chairs on this month theme day. Now we zoom out of the chairs and give you the interior. So, here is a view of the cafe from 1st floor of the library. It has very high ceiling. The wall is adorned with cow hide and portraits of people from around the world to coincide with the concept of global coffee and adventure.

#63/365 Please stay the same

As a kid, going to coffee shop (not the fancy kind but the casual Asian kind) means that our parents are giving us a treat. Later on, when I started working, going out to have coffee after work with friends or colleagues means it is time to unwind, complain about work and just relax.
When I see this old fashion cafeteria located in the Sunday market, it reminded me of the many occasions I spent in coffee shops back home. Nothing too fancy but always a joy.

#62/365 Sunday is for this!


Lángos, pronounced lang-gosh, a Hungarian deep-fried flat bread.You could eat it plain, which is what I preferred but most people order it topped with sour cream and grated cheese, like what you see in the photo. We usually have this only when visiting the Sunday market, of course you could have it anytime!

#61/365 Wild life

Can you see it? The deer?
We don't have a zoo in our town, but the waterworks company does keep a green area for the wild life. On a good day, you see herd of deer. The sight is just wonderful! Imagine these creatures are just next to the suburbs - so near yet so far. Alas, on the lucky day when we do see them, chances are my camera is not with me..grrr..but I have vowed one of these days, I am going to spend a whole day nearby to get a close up shot!

-----
Update:-
I was informed by commentator, Sala that we do have a wild park ; which my husband knew about :p. So, he said we could visit this coming summer!
Thanks, Sala!

#60/365 Cafe Frei {CDP Theme Day}


The theme this month is "cafe chair."
Which one do you prefer : The traditional cafe chair, the arm chair or the "bean" bag? Take your pick. Mine would be the arm chair!

You can see "cafe chair" around the world from other members'  here.

-------
A little on the cafe....
This cafe is located within the library and so we usually stop by the cafe for a drink whenever we're visiting the library.
Cafe Frei is a relatively well known cafe chain in Hungary as it is own by Támas Frei, a former tv personality turned coffee enthusiast.
I like the atmosphere and their concept of global adventure. Because of the global concept, it offers huge range of coffee from all around the world, without going through a middle man, so their prices are very reasonable.
