Last weekend was quite eventful, as I spent my Saturday doing a group scavenger hunt around the city. It wasn’t as simple as I expected, and instead we had to do tasks at each point. These tasks ranged from solving riddles, to naming Estonian dishes, to acting out scenes. Overall, it was a great experience that allowed me to meet new people and learn more about Tartu in a fun way.
After completing the scavenger hunt, we went to a nice café called Krempel. It was very cozy, especially after having spent a couple hours traversing Tartu in freezing weather (and slipping on ice). Scanning the menu, I saw a dish called kama, which was described as a “national Estonian food,” and I knew I had to try it. I didn’t quite know what to expect, but the ingredients sounded tasty so I just went for it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my cup of tea; it was pretty sour, and I didn’t enjoy the flavor. I felt bad about it, but the waiter didn’t seem surprised at all and found it funny. I was recommended to try it prepared a different way, which is sweeter and easier to digest. Actually, I was told that I ordered the one unpopular dish at Krempel. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the café experience!
