Every Friday, Googlers round up some of their favorite posts that they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, they focused on food posts they enjoyed.
@KlaudiyaG: Food for me is so much more than just something that fuels my body. It brings my family and friends together and it’s pretty much the main reason why I wake up in the morning. 🙂 As you may have already noticed from the title, this week’s Friday Favorite theme is of course about food. There were so many wonderful posts on Connect regarding this topic, which doesn’t really surprise me since the majority of Local Guides share in my love for food, but it made the task pretty challenging for everyone. The good news is that in my case my post found me. You see, I was already familiar with @MahabubMunna’s Bangladeshi Food series—Bangladeshi Food Part - (1 Bakorkhani /suka roti / বাকরখানি and Bangladeshi Food Part - 2 Naksi Pitha / নকশী পিঠা).
When I saw his latest post in the series, I immediately knew it would be what I’d share with you all. It’s called, “Bangladeshi Food Part - 3 Telerpitha /Poa pitha / তেলের পিঠা / পোয়া পিঠা.” In this post, Mahabub introduces us to the Teler pitha. He explains what it represents and how we can all prepare it in our own homes. I enjoyed learning more about this snack especially because it combines my love for sweet and deep fried food.
@FelipePK: One food post that caught my eye this week was by Local Guide @FXBudiW called “Wedang uwuh, a traditional drink from Jogjakarta.” Wedang uwuh looks amazing and seems very exotic even though in my country we use a lot of herbs for making tea, too. The color was the thing which got most of my attention—it's bright red! I definitely would love to try it. If you are also curious about Wedang uwuh, be sure to check out this post.
@Ivi_Ge: “Top 3 Reasons to Take Advantage of Miami Spice” caught my attention this week. In his post, @SP31 shares with us one of his favorite restaurants in Miami, Florida, USA and explains the top three reasons why it is so worth it. When I read it, I really want to go to Miami as soon as possible. This would be a nice chance to try different cuisine at a fancier restaurant at a better price. He also included beautiful photos and nice tips. This post is a must read.
@MashaPS: It's a summer day and it's hot. You are hungry, but you feel like it’s too hot to cook. @INGA1 has got the perfect solution which she shares in her post "Okroska-summer soup for hot days." This dish is perfect for hot days. Believe me, I’ve tried it. How many types of cold soups do you know? I personally know just a few—the Bulagrian tarator and Spanish gazpacho. @INGA1 shared a great recipe to help anyone interested in preparing okroshka. So, next time you're looking to try something new, cook yourself this delicious soup.
