Eating 'round the world

Sake barrels in Kyoto, Japan.


For me, eating is one of the many joys of travelling.  In more recent years, I have taken to capturing memories of the food I enjoy ... in the same way as one would capture memories of landmarks, sights and special moments.  And why not?  I think food gives me more pleasure than a pile of rubble!

Mexico

The food in Mexico was great until Kim developed some kind of intolerance ... perhaps to the beans if they're whole and not refried. So that put an end to our Mexican culinary adventure.  [View photos]

Albania

My hotelier told me that Albanian cuisine is like Turkish.  He wasn't too far wrong ... it is very tasty Mediterranean fare.  In eight short days, I didn't cover very much but there wasn't anything I didn't like.  [View photos]

Thailand

Possibly the world's most celebrated cuisine with good reason!  I happen to be in Thailand to savour it first-hand (but only for four days).  Some cuisines are better outside their country of origin because of better quality produce (especially meat and seafood) ... but fortunately, that's only sometimes the case in Thailand.  [View photos]

Sumatra

Sumatra is the birthplace of the famous Rendang and Nasi Padang, but it has a lot more to offer than that.  [View photos]

Photos from eating in South Korea, where I set out to disprove that it is just kimchi, kimchi and more kimchi.  [View photos]

My culinary adventures through Vietnam in May/June 2011.  Don't you think Vietnamese food has the perfect balance between freshness, lightness, flavour and spice?  [View photos]

Penang

Penang is supposedly the cuisine capital of Malaysia.  I reckon its reputation is very much justified.  This album captures my intake through three stopovers through the island.   [View photos]
