Sea beauty in Cox’s Bazar and delicious food at Palongki restaurant

The world’s longest beach is in Cox’s Bazar. The blue waters of the sea and the white waves of the sea. The waves crash on the beach, endlessly, tirelessly. Seeing these natural scenes, I myself drift into the bottomless depths of the ocean of happiness. But it is not enough to just enjoy the sea beauty. When you go there, where to go and where to stay are also important, as well as where to eat and what to eat.

The original name of Cox’s Bazar is Palongki. In the local language, palki is called Palongki. Legend has it that Mughal Emperor Shah Shuja was fascinated by the beauty of this region on his way to Arakan with a thousand palkis and stopped here with his entourage. Over time, the resting place of thousands of palkis came to be known as ‘ Palongki’. Later, during the British rule, the English ruler Cox Saheb established a market in this region in his own name and the name Palongki changed to ‘Cox’s Bazar’.

But the name Palongki has returned, but in a different way. Along with the traditional food of this region, the Palongki restaurant has emerged with the lost authentic Bengali cooking methods and food.

Every dish at Palongki Restaurant has the scent and tradition of Bengal hidden in it. This unparalleled arrangement of Bengali taste will impress any foodie or gourmet. Starting from Iftar, people with any seasonal taste will be satisfied here. Because these dishes are mixed with the touch of grandmother’s cooking.

Pumpkin flower fries, special chops made with banana mocha, a seasonal combination of loitta fish, green-coconut-shrimp, coconut pudding or amazing recipes of mountain rooster are some of the regular dishes here. Freshly caught tuna, lobster, shrimp, pomfret, octopus and squid can also be selected from seafood. Dal made with Chinigura rice and ghee is one of the attractions of the food here.

As the name Ashtabhuja suggests, a dish of eight different types of bharta and bhaji. This dish is probably the most interesting of the entire Palongki. However, you have to decide which of the eight bharta and bhaji you want to eat and when.
A unique addition to the dishes here is the different types of paturi. Paturi is a very popular dish among Bengalis which is made of fish and wrapped in leaves and cooked in a little steam. If you want to eat traditional authentic Bhetki Paturi, Hilsa Paturi, and various types of Paturi prepared in the centuries-old cooking method, you should go here.
