Cafe Du Monde


Meredith enjoying the powdery sugar in the beignet. We pulled the plate away from her but when we were not looking, she was digging into the powdery sugar again.




We've been to French Quarter in New Orleans three weeks in a row. We don't know anyone in New Orleans yet so our weekends suddenly seem so empty. In Houston, there's always a baby shower, bridal shower, bachelor party, wedding, bbq, party at someone's house on weekend so the weekends agenda are usually packed. Actually, all three of us (Boon Hong, Meredith and myself) miss Houston a lot. Now, we don't know where to go and who to talk to. So we ended up taking Boon Hong's mum to French Quarter several times. She happened to like French Quarter too especially the area around Jackson Square. We went Cafe Du Monde in French Quarter. This coffee house is a very well known in New Orleans and has been in operation more or less since 1860. Cafe Du Monde is famous for their beignet which is fried donut dipped in powdery sugar. Meredith is a big fan of beignet. She finished the entire beignet and then she devoured the powdery sugar on the plate bit by bit.
