Melbourne is a city that I took way too long to go and visit. I'm Australian born and bred and have lived here all of my life, but in my 32 years I had never gone to Australia's second largest (and some would argue, most popular) city. This year, I finally changed that, and I [...]
One of my favourite things about travel is trying new food and experiencing local cuisines. When I travel to a new country I try very hard to eat only the local cuisine while I'm there, which I usually find is delicious. In some places around the world, however, the local cuisine does come with some [...]
Today's travel photo is of a delicious dish of Thali at a restaurant in Little India in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. This was a vegetarian thali served with a selection of different curries and chutneys, with a good helping of rice and poppadoms for dipping. Being a huge lover of Indian food, I devoured all [...]
When it comes to spicy food, I'll try it. It doesn't really matter what it is. If it's got chilli in it, I will probably give it a go. I just love the stuff. I love the flavour; I love the sensation it leaves in my mouth. I even love the look of it. So [...]
As with all of the destinations that I visited during my six month journey through Southeast Asia, every day in Penang started with a walk. The only question was what direction I would head in when I stepped out the door of my guest house in Chinatown each morning. On this particular day, my feet [...]
Today's travel photo is of some hawker stalls along Jalan Sultan in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I absolutely loved staying in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. It is just a hive of activity all of the time, but it is at night when it really comes alive. Chinatown is also one of the best places to [...]
Today's travel photo is of some deep fried street food snacks at the Sunday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Although I'm not much of a shopper, I love visiting markets in Asia simply for the food. Chiang Mai has lots of markets, so I was always kept happy. The Sunday Night Market is popular [...]
Today's travel photo is of some bruschette with fresh tomato and basil in Sorrento, Italy. The one thing that I wish I took more photos of when I was in Italy is the amazing food that I ate. I guess the food was usually so good that it was gone before I could even get [...]
Today's photo is of a fresh spring roll at a restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam. When it comes to spring rolls, I think that Vietnam might have the best. This particular spring roll was a fresh, unfried spring roll at a little hole in the wall restaurant in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. I took this [...]
Today's travel photo is of a bowl of wanton noodle soup in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I got this dish on my very first night in Kuala Lumpur, bought from a hawker stall along Jalan Sultan in Chinatown. The wantons were a delicious mix of pork and shrimp, served with noodles, greens and slices of pork [...]
