Churros @ Churreria GI



Churro is a Spanish donut, normally eaten as snack. Sometimes also eaten for breakfast dipped in melted chocolate. 
First time I tried it at Tokyo Disneyland (without the melted chocolate) and loved it. Then I found out that there's a small shop at GI specializing in Churro and decided to try.

Churreria has a set menu for churro.  You can choose the churro sprinkled with powdered sugar (pic above) or cinnamom powder (below pic).  As for the dipping, they have 4 kinds : milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate and caramel.

Not sure the origin of this dish, but so far I only find it in Bogor (and one seller, nonetheless).  My guess this exist someplace else, with a different name.
