This wasn’t our first rodeo. We ate and drank our way through Hong Kong back in 2013. Did we think we would be back in 2015 – no way! Were we so excited about going back that we peed our pants just a little bit – hells yes!!! During our last visit, we just fell head over heels in love with Hong Kong. The exceptional Cantonese and International food available. …
Goulash and cabbage. That’s what my 1990’s geography education had instilled in my brain to expect as the highlight of Budapest. Whatever cold war government propaganda had filled those classroom textbooks, even if there was some truth to it… It’s not true anymore and it massively misses the mark on what has now become my favourite city in Central Europe. The stereotypical goulash, cabbage and other classics are there in …
We are on a mission to show you that Visiting Bangkok is more than just staying on Khao San Rd. Escape the tourist bubble and discover Food Fun & Adventure.
There is plenty of fun poked at UK food. But is it really that bad? And what the hell is “UK food” anyway? Growing up in Australia I had heard plenty about the motherland – England. My grandparents migrated in the late 50’s, and much of Aussie and British culture is honestly very similar. But, there are aspects that are very different. I had heard many stories of the cold winters, the …
The smell of desire lingers in the air. But, it’s not sweat and pheromones. It’s the scent of meat grilling. Of cheese frying. As the kitchen door swings open, blood pumps faster through your veins. Could the waiter be bringing your food? As the many courses arrive in sequence, your tastebuds tingle with possibility. Pure food lust takes over as Greek Food Porn teases both your eyes and your imagination. …
Indian food is found almost everywhere today. There’s not too many big cities around that don’t have a couple of Indian restaurants offering a selection of curries, naans and popadoms. But did you know that the food most of us know as ‘Indian’ is in fact North Indian cuisine – to be more specific, Punjabi or Bangladeshi. As amazing as this food is, there are many different styles of Indian curry …
Spewing on your poop is not an ideal travel experience. Asian street food has a reputation for making foreigners sick. After years of travel in Asia and only a couple of instances of mild diarrhoea, we’ve maintained a pretty solid system (pun) for avoiding getting sick from eating street food. We’d like to share our top tips with you. One of the major ways we keep our budget down while …
You love Asian food? So do we. Taste is always subjective. One man’s spicy is another man’s uncontrollable, red faced pain. One woman’s sweet is another woman’s diabetic nightmare. As foodie travellers there is one thing we can promise – We’ve eaten a lot. In doing so, we’ve drawn a bunch of comparisons in order to compile this list. One year in Asia. Its been one hell of a journey, one …
Can you eat tarantula? Why, yes you can. Today I’ll be eating spiders in Cambodia – In the capital, Phnom Penh to be precise. Surprisingly, this once hugely common dish has all but disappeared from major cities. We had to do some serious internet research to discover where to chew some tarantulas, without having to go rural. We finally tracked down “Romdeng” restaurant. They keep live tarantulas on the premises …
TOMMO EATS SOMETHING TERRIBLE. Boiled egg with a difference? This is it. At 18 days into incubation, fertilised duck eggs are robbed from their mothers and boiled up to serve hungry Filipinos. This is one of the holy grails of strange food. The thing that amazed me most was that these are not a rare, impossible to find delicacy. In the Philippines you can find balut on every street corner. …
South America has a reputation among travellers for being a relatively expensive region to travel compared to other parts of the world such as South East Asia. However, there are some very good, typical and cheap eats to be found around the continent, if you know what to look for! Unlike some other regions of the world (India, South East Asia, North Africa), the typical foods of South America don’t …
Cuisine on the western side of China is actually quite different from the eastern side of the country. With influences from Sichuan and central Asian countries, Xinjiang province offers up some interesting fusion. Hitting Urumqi after spending a month in Mongolia there was only one thing we had on our minds, vegetables and any meat that was not lamb! If you don’t know much about mongolian cuisine, here’s a quick …
