What We Ate: Tainan

I have a sneaking suspicion that if I asked you to tell me the first food that you think of when you envision Asia, I would be hearing an awful lot of “noodles” and “rice”, maybe some “fish” and “curry” as well. But, I’ve got to tell you that...

The Ultimate Taiwan Bubble Tea Challenge

Six years ago at the tender age 24, I took my first trip out of the United States. Granted, it was only a trip up to Steph’s hometown of Toronto, Canada, but it was my first stamp in my first passport. Turns out, it was a trip of many...

What We Ate: Taipei (Non-Nightmarket Edition)

To absolutely no one’s surprise, food was the primary motivating factor behind our unanticipated jaunt to Taiwan. Upon our arrival, we set out to conquer as much of Taipei's food scene with our mission simply being "eat all the things”. Given the crazy amount of food that we...

The Nighttime is the Right Time in Taipei

I like to think I’m a morning person, but the reality is that I always have been, and always will be, a night owl. My parents tell me that even when I was a toddler, I’d stay up late into the evening with my dad, sitting by his side...

Confessions of an Adventurous Eater & An Apology to the Pangolin

Are adventurous eaters the product of nature or nurture? My own childhood sheds little light on the issue as I grew up in a family with a fairly daring dinnertime table, although whether this was due to my parents having risky palates of their own or arose from sheer...

Chewing the Fat with World Flavor!

This week we welcome the wonderful couple behind World Flavor to Chewing the Fat! While in Koh Lanta, Thailand (we know, we know... the blog is horribly behind!), we actually had a chance run-in with these two when they spotted us scoping out snacks in the local 7-11! We...

Where (& What) to Eat in El Nido

While I won’t pretend that this guide is at all exhaustive (as you might expect, there are a lot of bars in El Nido, but being who we are, we went to not a single one of them!), if you ever find yourself in El Nido, we do have...

That Time I Almost Died in Cagayan De Oro

I am hesitant to paint with too broad a brush, but even based on our encounters with internationally-curious individuals, it seems like most people know very little about the Philippines. Instead, we scrounge the dusty corners of our brains, trying to find any morsel of information we may have...

Sans Rival: What’s in a Name?

Sans Rival. The name is a whispered hosanna on every Filipino’s lips. Filipinos love to eat, especially sweets, so the walls of Sans Rival, a purveyor of desserts, are nearly as hallowed as the Catholic church that sits proudly in the middle of Dumaguete. Sans Rival. A French name for...

The Best and Worst Things We Ate on Bohol

When we decided to start our trip in Asia, the thing we might have been looking forward to the most was the food. From sushi in Japan to bahn mi sandwiches in Vietnam to fragrant and spicy curries in Thailand and India, we could not wait to start eating...

What We Ate: Shanghai

Few things during our week in Shanghai were sufficient to tempt us from the cozy little den we created for ourselves in the French Concession—I’ve already recounted our somewhat disastrous foray into traditional sightseeing, an outing that only served to make us less interested in stepping out our front...

The Best Thing We Ate in Beijing

This is the time when I would normally run down all the things we ate while in Beijing. Faithful readers know Tony & I love nothing more than posting gratuitous food photos to get you salivating. Heck, these posts often get ME drooling and feeling more than a...
