Am I cheating by having Chinese food twice? I’m gonna say no. China as you may have heard is a pretty big place and it’s hard to understand the scale of it unless you have actually been. I remember reading that if you take the capital (i.e. Beijing) and all its jurisdictions, you have anContinue reading “Shanxi Food- 山西麵霸王”

Moroccan Food- Tajin Moroccan Cuisine
Once again I take myself back to the neglected catacombs of my mind when it comes to this one. I remember back to the three months I spent in Leeds (which is odd that I mention it, because I’ve only thought about it twice in the last 15 years, once to reminisce about Holland whenContinue reading “Moroccan Food- Tajin Moroccan Cuisine”
Korean Food-首爾大叔
For many years, I actively stayed away from Korean food because I had had a bad experience living there many many moons ago. After graduating from Big School in 2003, I had no money and was unemployed and ended up living in a godforsaken city in South Korea teaching English. I’ll spare you the intimateContinue reading “Korean Food-首爾大叔”
Peruvian Food- Polleria
Peru eh? Yeah, Peru. I can’t imagine anyone in the UK telling me anything about Peru other than the fact that their international football strip resembles Red Stripe beer. This was famously parodied on the UK TV show Fantasy Football in the 1990’s when in the Phoenix from the Flames segment of the show whereContinue reading “Peruvian Food- Polleria”
Turkish Food- Safranbolu
I had been looking forward to this one. This week in the Chinese speaking world (Thursday) was Dragon Boat Festival which is a national holiday here in Taiwan. As it fell on a Thursday, the Taiwanese government, in their infinite wisdom gave us all Friday off, which sounds great, hurray! Four day weekend! But inContinue reading “Turkish Food- Safranbolu”
Dutch Food- Café Poffertjes
I reviewed, well I say “reviewed” I mean “went” to The Belgian Waffle Shop a few weeks back and now it’s the turn of the Dutch. I found out about this via a mysterious Dutchman named “Chris” who was sat at my table at a recent curry event which is held in Taipei. The curryContinue reading “Dutch Food- Café Poffertjes”
Malaysian Food- Wonderful Baba
Malaysia has always been a bit of a blind spot for me. I’ve known Malaysians, taught Malaysians and was teaching tourism related marketing and advertising classes during the whole Malaysia Truly Asia marketing push. Yet, I’ve never really had a desire to go there. It looks fascinating, though I have heard living there is notContinue reading “Malaysian Food- Wonderful Baba”
American Food- Baba Kevin’s American Barbecue
I was going to take on the cuisine of Malaysia today; I was made aware of a place I want to try via one of Mrs. Bao’s friends on Facebook, Mr. Du however, Mrs. Bao also wanted to try it. As it is also nearby to where the young ‘un has football “practice” (I useContinue reading “American Food- Baba Kevin’s American Barbecue”
Food Belgian – The Belgian Waffle Shop
After the dizzying heights of Cantonese and Iranian food I bring you the nice homely cuisine of Belgium. It has been a strange week this week outside the safe world of eating food and wandering about town. I’m not here to make grand political statements of course, but I write this week as the USContinue reading “Food Belgian – The Belgian Waffle Shop”
Iftar part2 –
You can read part 1 of this here https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/foodschallenge.com/211 With a bit of to-ing and fro-ing and haranguing them outside their places of work, I managed to convince both Ms. V and The Prophet of Miltown to join me once again for more wacky adventures. They have both been big supporters of my Sisyphean taskContinue reading “Iftar part2 –”
