Hello Everyone !

I hope you all are doing well. Today, I’m so excited to share my participation in The Good Food Route Contest (SLC27-W5) on Steemit. This week’s theme is Traditional Sweet Shop, and I decided to visit one of my favorite sweet shops near my home. I really hope you’ll enjoy reading my review and experience.So, let’s begin.

This sweet shop is located very close to my home, in a small local market between Street No. 4 and 5. It’s a small but very popular shop that has been here for almost 15 years.

The shop is run by a father and his son, who have been making and selling sweets together since the beginning. Their sweets are very famous in the area because they are always fresh, tasty, and made with good-quality ingredients.

At the front, there is a clear board with the shop’s name, and the seller is always busy attending to customers. The counter is slightly raised, so customers stand below and give their orders. Everything is prepared and served right there.

Inside the display, you can see a beautiful variety of sweets all freshly made and neatly arranged. They have Rasgulla, Gulab Jamun, Khasta, Barfi, Dhooda, Bundiyan, Namak Paray, Patisa, and many more traditional Pakistani sweets.

The prices are reasonable because they make all the sweets themselves, which keeps the quality high and cost low.

Upstairs on the first floor, there’s a small kitchen area where they prepare all the sweets daily. You can smell the aroma of ghee and sugar syrup in the air a true sign of freshness. On one side, they also make fresh items like Jalebi, Samosa, and Pakoras, which they fry right in front of customers.

When I visited, the fragrance of fresh Jalebi and Pakoras filled the air it was so tempting.In one of my pictures, you can see the display full of fresh Patisa, a favorite sweet of mine. There were three types made from different flours like besan and maida each with its own unique taste.

I bought one round Patisa because I really love how it has many thin, flaky layers that melt in your mouth. Along with that, I also bought some Barfi, another classic sweet.

The total price of my purchase was Rs. 150, which is very reasonable. I paid Rs. 50 for Patisa and Rs. 100 for Barfi that equals around 6.25 Steem in total.
