I was not planning on getting gyudon — a Japanese dish in which features a tasty mix of tender beef and onions served on top of rice — at the Tsukiji outer market, which is largely known for its abundance of fresh seafood. But then I saw an impressively long line and instantly knew that my plans had just changed.
Here it is: the last of my four Walt Disney World food roundups. Last but not least — because of Epcot’s international theme, it’s one of the most interesting Disney parks to eat in.
I couldn’t resist. After my amazing (and amazingly cheap) first meal at Edessaïkó, I had to come back one more time.
This time, I tried the pork chop in tomato sauce, and was able to try a variety of sides — pasta, rice, fried potato slices, and roast potatoes.
I wasn’t in New Delhi long enough to do anything in particular — I flew in one afternoon and left the next morning. I did notice, however, that there was a location of Moti Mahal near my hotel. Considering that they invented butter chicken, I figured I should probably give them a shot.
Yes, I went to McDonald’s in India again. The menu is so odd; I can’t help myself! I may have a problem (this is the last time, I promise).
Though I’d heard good things about Nawras Seafood Restaurant, I was a bit wary of the place when I first walked in and sat at my table. It felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be fancy. I was afraid it might be style over substance.
The biryani at Kayees Rahmathulla Cafe comes with a spoon, but I’m pretty sure that’s just for serving. If I really wanted to eat it the right way, I should have been eating it with my hands — that’s what everyone around me was doing.
You’re probably familiar with chicken rice, a local specialty in Malaysia and Singapore, in which boiled or roasted chicken is served with chicken-infused rice, typically with chili sauce on the side.
You might not be familiar with chicken rice balls, however (I certainly wasn’t until I came to Melaka); it’s basically the same dish, but with the rice rolled up into Timbit-sized balls.
Discovering this particular restaurant was just one of those lucky accidents — it happened to be around the corner from my Airbnb in Fukuoka, and every time I walked by, it looked busy and smelled delicious.
One of the local specialties here in Fukuoka is something called mentaiko — a reddish, sausagey-looking thing made from cured sacs of pollock roe.
