Momo

Our dog Momo resembles a Hungarian Puli. Actually he is a Havanese breed with a special black coat that is slightly wavy. In Spring, he loves being in the garden and exploring all the greens. He is a very harmonious, friendly and wonderful pet and we are both very glad to have him in our family!

Pet Shop in Budapest

Vadon disza'llat pet shop

From this innocent looking animal sign board at the outside of the basement shop, but try to make a guess what kind of pet shop is this?

It reads ”Vadon Díszállat kisáruház” which means ‘Wild Pet Shop’ and what they specialised in are not only fish but also reptiles, spiders; its food and equipment. For those who like ‘Wild Pets’ it is located on the Podmaniczky utca 27. By the M3 Metro, you can get there easily by stopping at the Nyugati Palyaudvar.  We’re not really a fan of wild pets, are you?:)

+++++ Today’s Hungarian Soup Recommendation: Goulash (Gulyás)

A soup which is usually made of beef, red onions, vegetables, spices and ground paprika powder. Paprika – a spice made from the grinding of dried Capsicum (bell pepper). +++++
