So far, the food I’ve tried in Prague has been extremely okay. Completely inoffensive — tasty, even — but nothing that’s going to get my heart rate up.
Despite being right in the middle of an exceptionally touristy area (it’s maybe a five minute walk from Prague Castle), U Kocoura not only has some decent food, but it’s relatively cheap, too.
Wow! Momo doesn’t quite fit in with the other American-inspired fast food joints I’ve written about so far — but it turns out that finding local fast food chains in India isn’t all that easy. All of the ones that seemed promising turned out to be from other countries — mostly the UAE.
Wow! Momo is close enough. Though they mostly specialize in momos (which are Tibetan-style dumplings), the menu has at least a couple of burgers.
Though the traditional way of making the noodles for wonton noodles is to make them by hand and roll them out with a bamboo pole, almost no one actually does that anymore. It’s a time-consuming affair, and if a machine can do it almost as well with a fraction of the effort, what do you expect? Time marches on.
I stumbled onto Koon Kee Wan Tan Mee completely at random while wandering around Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown. I was basically just looking for a place that was busy; if you don’t have anywhere specific in mind, following the crowd is generally a good idea.
The Liuhe Night Market has been around since the ’50s, and whether it’s a fun way to spend an evening or an overpriced tourist trap is a matter of some debate online. I will say that I saw more white faces at that market than in any other place in Taiwan, so there’s that. But I also ate some tasty food.
Were the pies from Pie Man the greasiest thing I’ve had in my life? I don’t know; maybe. Were they delicious? Most definitely.
You might recall that I was recently searching for a well-regarded noodle joint in Taichung’s Second Market — but I couldn’t find it, so I wound up eating some delicious porky goodness instead.
I finally found it. It was worth the wait.
It’s hard to go wrong with a night market. It’s basically just food, food, and more food. One of the more popular ones in Taipei is the Raohe Night Market, and one of the more popular stalls sells pepper buns that everyone agrees you need to try.
So of course I tried it, and yep: everyone’s right. It’s quite good.
