Soviet Style BREAKFAST + Uzbek Wedding CRASHING! | Termez, Uzbekistan

My time in Termez was slowly coming to a close, but not until one last adventure in Uzbekistan’s southernmost city! Come along with me as I enjoy a delicious Soviet style breakfast and crash an Uzbek wedding!

Breakfast culture isn’t big in Uzbekistan (it’s mostly just bread, butter, and tea), but I wanted to head over to Café Bistro with my guide Otabek to have a Russian and Uzbek breakfast.

I got a huge mix of pasta, eggs, rice, onions, beef, ham, grains, oatmeal, and a pumpkin somsa. The somsa was really delicious and contained a nice pumpkin mash and onions. It was the first kind I’d tried that didn’t have beef in it. It was like pumpkin pie in an empanada.

The oatmeal was super sweet and watery and very different from the thicker, drier kind I eat with peanut butter in America. But it was good! The milk had a sweet flavor, almost like cardamom. I soaked some of my bread in it – it was like Uzbek cereal!

Next, I dove into the delicious onion and beef penne pasta. The rice had an earthy gravy drizzled over it, like mushroom gravy. The beef was nice, tender strips, while the egg was nice but the yolk was completely cooked. I also had a huge sausage, which was too big for me!

Then, I mixed everything together. It wasn’t my favorite breakfast, but I wanted to eat as much as I could so I wouldn’t be hungry on my flight. The gravy tied everything together nicely. My favorite thing was the coffee. Then, we headed to the Archaeological Museum of Termez next!

The museum opened in 2002 on the 2500th anniversary of Termez. Inside are archaeological finds from the Bronze Age up to the 15th century! They have a map of the Surxondaryo Region, where Termez and Jakurgan are located.

I also saw pottery, a piece of a pillar, statues, a bathtub from the 4th century BC, a beautiful 11th-century vase, and a replica of the Silk Road Gate I visited the previous day. There was also a stele of Koran writing.

Upstairs were items from the Bronze Age, including tools, pottery sherds, weapons, paintings, bones, and more. There was also an area dedicated to Alexander the Great, including replicas of his bust. There was also a model of the city he built, Kampyrtepa.

It was a massive showcase. There was so much history there! One of the coolest things I saw was ancient plumbing from the 10th century. They were ceramic water pipes that brought water from the river to the homes! I also saw jewelry, more vases, coins, bells, and ceramic work from the 9th and 12th century AD. I loved the colors! There was also a wooden 11th century book stand.

Next, we headed to a wedding ceremony in a huge ballroom at Afruz. The food looked great! I had two shots of vodka to celebrate with everyone. I wished I could have partied with the guests, but I had an hour until my flight!

Then, we headed to Termiz Xalqaro Aeroporti. Security let us through. My bag was overweight but they let me through, so it was all good and super easy.

I boarded my flight. An hour-long nap later and I was back in Tashkent! I got on the shuttle bus, got my bags, and headed back to the Hyatt Regency. The streets are wide and there are lots of remarkable, Soviet-style buildings.

I headed up to my room. It had a beautiful king-sized bed, a couch and work area, and a gorgeous bathroom!

I hope you enjoyed coming along on my Soviet style breakfast in Termez and coming with me back to Tashkent! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment below. Also, please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!
