CUR: Ronde Markt

Image
Delightfully thick, slimy ladyfinger soup with salted beef! Before leaving for the airport, my BFF and I made it a point to go to a traditional indoor market called Ronde Markt to savour humble local cuisine. There are many food stalls to choose from on the second floor of the building, so we randomly chose to order from one of them.

Delectably sweet and savoury Cuban banana soup!

A slice of Africa in CuraƧao~ My BFF and I had the opportunity to visit CuraƧao Ostrich Farm, which is one of the biggest of such farms outside of Africa. At the end of the tour, we had lunch at the on-site restaurant named after one of the longest river in Africa. Have you ever had ostrich meat before?

Caribbean main courses with colourful side dishes! It's my pleasure to share with you the very first post on CuraƧao, one of the Dutch overseas territories in the Caribbean. This is also a virgin post on Caribbean dishes, which were prepared by Rozendaels, a popular restaurant that's quite a distance away from the centre of Willemstad.

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

JPN: Ekiben Tabi Bento (駅弁 ę—…å¼å½“)

Image
Not a single visit to Japan without 'ekiben'! A portmanteau of eki (lit. station) and bento (Japanese meal box), ekiben  has long been an icon of Japanese culinary culture. I know the meal boxes are served at room temperature, but I'm always drawn to them, thanks in part to their exquisite presentation. My family bought some from Ekiben Tabi Bento situated within Kyoto station to savour them for lunch, not inside a train, but in the comfort of our hotel room.
