the aroma of embassy festival

this is a day when many countries decided to get together to show case their cultural, talents, cuisines and national products.  you arrived to the classical tent where a lady is singing the opera in different languages.  all lovely song and nice vocal...

hungarian sausage, by far the most expensive but it's home made and you can still taste the texture of the minced meat.  the mexican taco, you're deceived by the green jelepeno and the hot index almost blow you off your tolerance level.  the right is the plate of mezze-ish dish from georgia.
 pakistan's bryani rice, very similar to those you at back home except this is non-spicy version
egyptian sweets, coconut based, nut based all legit with a hint of crossover with turkish sweets.
 the haiti plate, some miss, some hit! the fried dough was good, so as the fried chicken and the spicy slaw, but the fries just cannot qualified as food for dutch standard...
the free paella-ish rice and the almost deceiving as meat caramelized banana. this was distributed free of charge courtesy of panama embassy, so is the piece of fried cheesy cassava.  you just couldn't take it due to the strong cheese smell but your friend liked it, so it's just a matter of personal taste.
 a day of cultural and food exchange.  it's definitely worth the trip and effort.
