Zanzibar is not only known for its pristine beaches and renowned spice tour, it also has a few delicacies worth trying out.
Ever heard of the famous “Zanzibar pizza” for instance (dough filled with meat, vegetables, eggs or sweet ingredients)? It’s yummy delicious! 🙂
Today’s post isn’t about pizza though, yet it is also a specialty found at the Night Market (Forodhani Gardens, in Stone Town).
No, today’s about an “extra special” drink that I discovered back in the days: sugar cane juice.
