Needless to say I'm a huge fan of shingaras and all types of puris (expect bhelpuri). Here are the places where I had the best of both snacks:
Best Shingara- The ones sold at the gates of Language Institute near Dhaka University. I used to have them about 3 years ago, so I'm not sure if they are sold there anymore. I can't seem to recall how much they cost, but I do remember they tasted delicious after a few hours of tennis practice- so hot, almost as to burn your mouth, with beetlobon. MMMmmmmm.
Best Alupuri- 1) Found in the first bhaja porar dokan on your right, when you are
entering New Market's Kacha Bazaar from the front. Very soft puris.
Tk. 2 each.
2) Found on road 10/a, dhanmondi, right on the side of Satmosjid
road- a small shop selling alipuris for tk.3 each. The last time I had
them (about 3-4 months ago) they were extremely soft had mint inside.
What about you? Include location and price if you can.
