Thai Food- Thai Restaurant (Really! That is its English name)

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!

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”
