Beside Budapest’s Chinatown, there is a similar but smaller commercial hub dedicated to the Far East at the Monori Center, Budapest’s wholesale mall. Here you can find a huge grocery store with all the necessary ingredients for authentic Chinese cuisine. If you’d rather have someone cooking them for you, you can dine at restaurants Milky Way and Spicy Fish or if you’re on the go, try some Chinese dumplings. What makes this place truly special is the Chinese Night Market organised each day after 5pm, when all the eateries come together in a communal cooking party under a marquee, transforming the tent into a street-food spectacle. Hot pots, yakori dishes, loads of seafood and bubble teas await, enhanced with the bustle of a busy street market.
