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”

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”
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”
Arabic Food- Abdu Arabian Cuisine
First off, you get only one of these per calendar year so you’d better make it last, from the bottom of my heart a very big thank you to people who have stepped in to help me continue this in the short term while I sort out my finances and my mind. I had aContinue reading “Arabic Food- Abdu Arabian Cuisine”
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”
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”
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”
