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”

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”
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”
French Food- Le Flam
Inexpensive French food in Taipei? Are you having an old tin bath? That was my first reaction when I found out that it was indeed possible to eat French food here that wasn’t beyond the realms of possibility. I have looked around a lot for it over the past year and could only find stuffContinue reading “French Food- Le Flam”
Mexican Food – Teotihuacan
One of the easier cuisines to find in Taiwan, old timers such as Crispy Pete and Det. Mickey String recall being able to get low quality-ok Mexican food way back in the era when TV was called books, nobody locked their doors and everyone queued up for up to four hours to marvel at theContinue reading “Mexican Food – Teotihuacan”
Indigenous or Aboriginal Food- 翠山飲食店 (Cuishan restaurant)
City living man, it can bring you down. After a particularly trying week and me doing my best to maintain the stiff upper lip that British people are supposedly famous for, me and Mrs. Bao went to Wulai for a day of seeing nature. After dropping off Preschooler at her kindergarten, we got intoContinue reading “Indigenous or Aboriginal Food- 翠山飲食店 (Cuishan restaurant)”
Russian Food- Russian Castle
I can understand that Russian food is a bit of a hard sell for people. Really, I get it. I’d say some would have images of standing in line waiting to be served by a hooded, wizened old crone wearing finger-less gloves ladling out you some colourless slop. After you receive your slop, you andContinue reading “Russian Food- Russian Castle”
Indonesian Food- Sate House
Indonesia, or more specifically Bali, was the first destination I took Mrs. Bao to on holiday a ridiculous amount of years ago when we were only boyfriend and girlfriend. A memory I’ll never forget as we somehow convinced our hotel on the first few days in Kuta, and our villa people in Ubud, that weContinue reading “Indonesian Food- Sate House”
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”
