The restaurant mecca that is Noma
So after over a year of taking a break from my blog, I’ve decided I have to do a special post on my food experience at Noma. For those you not in the know, Noma is commonly thought to be one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in the entire world. It’s held … Continue reading
Cambodian food revisited
I’m quite delayed in posting this but I did want to take the time to post one last entry from my trip to Asia! This was my second time in Cambodia, but I got to spend much more time there this time and thus was able to do much more food research ahead of time … Continue reading
Street food delights of Northern Vietnam
The second part of my trip in Vietnam took me through Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, and I decided to focus on food even a bit more by taking an official street food tour and a cooking class. (I did both with Hanoi Cooking Centre, which is pricier than other places but worth it) I … Continue reading

Delightful culinary variety in London
As I’ve mentioned several times in this blog already, I recently had the opportunity to take a trip to one of my favourite cities in the world, London. The last time I was there was about two years ago and it was so wonderful not only to be there again but also to realize how … Continue reading
