Belal Hotel

---

Name of the place

---

For discussing the taste of food in my city, I chose a shop that mainly sells fried snacks and dal puri. The name of this shop is Belal Hotel. It is a very old and well-known dal puri shop in my area. Some of the most delicious foods in my city can be found here in a very good quality. That is why I have highlighted the best-tasting foods from my city through this place. Because the same kinds of foods that are available in good hotels can usually be found everywhere, but I wanted to focus on the unique and most tasty ones that truly represent my city’s flavor.

This shop is located in Notun Bazar in Parbatipur town. If you come to the city, you can easily reach this place from the railway station or bus terminal by rickshaw or auto. The shop is situated in the very center of the town. Once you reach Notun Bazar, you can simply ask anyone and they will guide you to it. You can also come here by following the location I have provided.

General description of the place, including facilities, customer benefits, decoration, furniture like tables, chairs, and shelves

As I mentioned earlier, I have chosen this shop instead of the more modern and well decorated restaurants and hotels that we usually see in markets and cities. My focus is to highlight the most popular and tastiest local foods of my city, so I selected this place. This shop is located in Notun Bazar in Parbatipur town. If you come to the city, you can easily reach it from the railway station or bus terminal by rickshaw or auto. It is situated in the very center of the town, and once you reach Notun Bazar, you can simply ask anyone and they will guide you. You can also find it by following the location I have provided. I chose this shop because it truly represents the real flavor of my city. Here, there are enough chairs and tables for customers to sit comfortably. However, since it is an old shop, it has not been decorated in a very modern or fancy way.

Description of the menu, types of food sold, and best options

---

In this shop, many kinds of fried snacks are sold, such as dal puri, bora, piaju, gur jilapi, beguni, bundia, and others. All these fried foods are available here at a very affordable price. If you go to other shops, you usually need to spend much more money, and you may not get the same taste. The best item in this shop is the dal puri. I really enjoy eating dal puri with gur jilapi; it tastes very delicious.

Cost of the food and its conversion to Steem

---

The types of food available here are sold at very low prices. If you eat these same items in a good hotel, you usually have to spend a lot of money. Here, dal puri is sold for only 5 taka. Beguni is also 5 taka, jalebi is 80 taka per kg, and bora is 5 taka per piece, which I found very cheap. In other outside shops, these foods cost much more, and the taste is not that good either. But here, the taste is really very good and satisfying.

Whenever I go to the market for my necessary work, I always try to visit this shop at least once. The food here is so tasty that I feel like eating it again and again.

2_. What motivated you to choose this specific place for Week 3?

---

The main reason I chose this place is the taste of the food in this shop. The food here is so delicious that many people come here every day and it is always crowded. Another special reason is that in big and fancy hotels we can find many types of food, but the prices are very high and the taste is not always good.

That is why these small local shops are more popular, because the food is very tasty and many people gather there every day. I would suggest everyone to try these foods at least once. In our country, these types of shops are very common, and people are very used to eating fried and spicy snacks like these.
