Jitendra Kumar Jha / Lakhisarai: The food and drink of Bihar is something else. Not only litti-chokha here, the sweets here have also made a splash. Such delicious barfi is available in Lakhisarai, you will not find its taste anywhere else. There is a huge demand for this sweet even during the festive season. It would not be wrong to call Lakhisarai the city of sweets.
Here you will find all kinds of sweets. But, the sweet we are talking about today is very special and on hearing its name, people here get water in their mouth. Manish Kumar runs a barfi shop on the station road of Lakhisarai. The special thing is that 10 types of barfi are available in his shop. They only make barfi. People reach here to buy and eat barfi.
His cart is famous far and wide
Manish Kumar Gupta told that the purpose of opening a shop on a handcart is that people get quality barfi at cheap rates. Rent will have to be paid on taking the shop there. This will increase the price of sweets, so he runs a shop on a handcart. If people go to hotel or restaurant to eat this sweet, then they have to pay more money. The most important thing is that at the rate at which people demand, they make barfi available to them at that rate only.
Barfi at low rates to the poor

The idea behind providing barfi to the poor at a cheap rate is that their festival or celebration should not fade away. At present, we are selling 10 types of barfi and prepare it at home.
