The Story
05012020 Afternoon: Right after Prague Castle's visit, we made our way to Kozlovna Apropos for lunch. We saw this place the day before and it was so packed, and it was only 3pm. They said that no reservations are allowed. So, we arrived right after lunch time, and lucky us, that we had a table. It was about 1.30pm. 




Ghoulash soup with bread dumplings. I did not realise that this is a form of dumpling as I thought that they were bread.


Old Prague plate is made up of different kind of meat.


Dessert - Chocolate cake topped with chili. I was a bit disappointed. I thought chocolate will flow out when I pressed my spoon into it to break the cake, but nothing came out. A normal cake. It was hot when we got it and we were supposed to eat it with the ice-cream that came with the cake.


Pretty blue skies. We walked to Museum of Communism and was shocked by the ticket of CZK380! WOW! It is quite a beneficial read in the museum but I was bored after a while, reading all the small texts. It is good to read though, how Czech Republic evolved over the years.









We felt sleepy in the museum and we thought it could be something in the air-conditioning system. We went to a shopping mall nearby and had coffee.



We walked into a bookstore and found that they sell wine here. We were surprised. Probably it was a promotional thing but I find it weird. 


One of the displays at a random 'market' that sells cannabis. 


We were back in the Christmas market and bought grilled cheese. I read in a website that says that this is a must-try food. We took two and had one with garlic paste and the other with strawberry jam. I preferred the one with garlic. It was very filling as it came with a slice of bread. 



Then, we tried the grilled chestnut. The seller took our money first before we got the food. Maybe he was afraid that we changed our minds. There are grilled chestnuts in Malaysia but I never had them before. I did not know how to eat them. So, this was my first time eating them. It was very easy to eat them. Break the skin and pop them inside the mouth.



Time to call it a day!
