As everyone should know by now, the best “effnik” places to go to are the ones that primarily cater to the people of that country. They have a dog in that particular race and want their fellow brothers and sisters from country X to have a bit of home in exile. We have a lotContinue reading “Thai Food- Thai Restaurant (Really! That is its English name)”

Argentinian Food- Gauchos
I apologize for only adding this now, it has been a busy few weeks Having your birthday very close to Christmas, in a word, sucks. I’ll be honest. As a kid, you often get one gift spread between the two events (my parents bless ‘em did their best to give two). As an adult, nobodyContinue reading “Argentinian Food- Gauchos”
Canadian Food- The Poutinerie& Snack Shack
Oh Canadians! We love you. I rarely, as far as I know, make peoples’ day. I try to make people giggle, and I do things for people that will help them in the long term for their futures, but it is rare that I make someone’s day today as it were. I made somebody’s dayContinue reading “Canadian Food- The Poutinerie& Snack Shack”
Australian Food- Aussie Café
It has been a few weeks since I got out to do one of these, general rainy weather and end of the year stuff has made it a bit hectic so not had chance. So to Australia now. Australia has a strange place in my psyche, brother Bao lives there and I have never visitedContinue reading “Australian Food- Aussie Café”
Portuguese Food- Tuga
OK I don’t want to get bogged down with a history lesson here and I’m not a history scholar, but Taiwan has been visited/colonized by many people over the years. It has had a few names in its time, and one was Ihla Formosa which is Portuguese for “Beautiful Island”. The island was uncharted inContinue reading “Portuguese Food- Tuga”
Somtum Der- Isan Food
A shout out once again to the people over at the TW Foodies Facebook page for once again highlighting something I wouldn’t have found otherwise, particularly Det. String, who has official bragging rights on finding something first. If you have been reading this page you’ll have probably noticed I haven’t got round to havingContinue reading “Somtum Der- Isan Food”
North Indian Food- Balle Balle
I have been away from this blog for a few weeks because frankly, I’ve had too much on my plate as it were. The last two weeks have been hectic, with a big conference speech I was supposed have last week getting postponed because of a typhoon in The Philippines (it was online) to thisContinue reading “North Indian Food- Balle Balle”
Ali Mama Nanyang Cuisine- Singaporean Food
This entry was actually unplanned, I had a few things to do in the area and I needed lunch. I had walked around this area of Gongguan a few times but there are quite a few alleys to explore and I’ve been pretty lazy to go down them all. I figured, student area, I haveContinue reading “Ali Mama Nanyang Cuisine- Singaporean Food”
Senegalese Food- Chez les Diatta
First off, a big round of apple drinks and a thank you to Boo Lion and the TW Foodies facebook page for highlighting this place for me. I can’t say it would ever have crossed my mind I’d find this food here; we went in with absolutely no information. Senegal is not exactly a placeContinue reading “Senegalese Food- Chez les Diatta”
Hawaiian Food- Kame House
I had been hoping for this for a while. Yes, it is America and I’ve had barbecue, but I have had a Puerto Rican dish too, and Hawaii is very far away from America in pretty much every respect. In the same way that if I was to find Chamorro food (from Guam) I‘d alsoContinue reading “Hawaiian Food- Kame House”
