Unforgettable Meals from Around the Globe

Since my two passions are Food and Traveling, I was excited when I saw this on the cover of the Food section in the Globe yesterday.


For those of you who can't read it, it says:

"Boston to Addis Ababa, filling station to church basement, travelers recall
their unforgettable meals from around the globe"

I don't know if I can pick my favorite meal abroad, but I do have ones high up on my list.

[in no particular order]
1. Location: Macau

2006. I remember walking down small winding streets of Macau with my mom and aunts from Hong Kong. They brought us to this tiny little restaurant tucked away behind the Casinos. This was one of the most delicious meals I had in Macau. Crab porridge was so flavorful.

2. Location: Newton Food Area - Singapore

2006. After a long long flight from Boston to Singapore, my mom and I got off the plane starving. At 2am, we were sure we'd go to bed hungry. I thought I'd ask the cab driver if there was a chance of anything being open; he recommended Newton (funny, Newton is the name of the town I'm from, must be fate). It was this awesome outdoor food court. We got lobster, clams, Laksa (a popular spicey noodle soup in singapore), and of course coconut drinks!!! Definitely my favorite meal of our trip to Singapore. What a great way to start off our trip!

3. Location: Paris


2009. The Pastries in Paris are to die for. Honestly, I could have eaten chocolate croissants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I went to Versailles, I just packed my backpack full of french bread and pastries. Nothing like sitting down at a bench in Versailles and having some freshly baked pastries. Also, having a glass of wine and having your picture drawn by a local artist isn't too shabby either.

4. Location: The Aussie: Sydney, Australia


2009. I don't care how cute Kangaroos are, they are DELICIOUS!! Plus, in the Land Down Under, Kangaroos are like deer to us; they're everywhere. I'd have to say Kangaroo pizza was one of my favorite things to eat. Mmmmm, topped with berries and peppers. Defintely something to try if you're ever in Sydney. The Aussie aka The Australian Hotel is located just steps away from the Sydney Bridge Climb.




5. Dragon Beard Candy

[not my picture, got it off google]
This is such a delicious dessert. Its hard to explain. It's made out of Fine sugar, peanuts, corn syrup, and glutinous rice flour. You will never have anything like it. First bite will glue your mouth shut for about 5 seconds then melt away. It's sweet, crumbly and sticky all at the same time. You can't get these in Boston...unless someone has decided to make them, which would be AWESOME. The only places I've seen them at are NY, Montreal and California. GET A MOVE ON IT BOSTON!! I think i'll try to make these next.
