GUY: Cara Lodge Restaurant

Image
Chicken thigh topped with a generous amount of chunky mango sauce! Cara Lodge Hotel is a historical building in Georgetown, Guyana. Built in the 1840s, it was known as Woodbine House when it housed the first Lord Mayor of Georgetown. My BFF and I dropped by the restaurant in hope of trying its well-known pepperpot dish. Alas, we were told that it'd only be available on Sundays during breakfast hours.

GUY: New Thriving

Image
Legit Chinese dishes in Guyana, save for one... The Chinese community has been playing a pivotal role in Guyana since it was occupied by the British. In fact, the first president after its independence, Arthur Chung, was a Chinese. There are quite a number of Chinese restaurants in Georgetown, one of which is the more upscale New Thriving located at Main Street.

GUY: Brandsville Hotel [Breakfast]

Image
Fish and chips without fries, but something else! My BFF and I stayed at Brandsville Hotel (3*) in Georgetown, Guyana, which is located in a somewhat quiet neighbourhood that's quite a distance away from the downtown area. The restaurant serves semi-buffet breakfast that, if not included in the room rate, isn't really worth paying for.

GUY: Starbuds

Image
Huge main courses with two carbohydrates to keep you full! How many of you read the title as Starbucks? To be frank, I've been to Starbucks less than ten times in my life thus far. Anyway, today's post on a very filling lunch at Starbuds in Georgetown, Guyana, especially when I didn't do anything much between breakfast and lunch due to heavy rain that day.

GUY: Maharaja Palace

Image
The best restaurant in Georgetown, Guyana? Prior to booking a room at Brandsville Hotel , little did I know that the #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor, at the point of writing, is within walking distance from the said accommodation. Maharaja Palace is located on the third floor of a building named Annjees that's colourfully lit in the evening.

GUY: Oasis Café

Lovely cassava cake with nutmeg and cinnamon! Let's move on from Suriname to its neighbouring country, which is Guyana. On the first day in its capital city, Georgetown, my BFF and I had an early dinner at 5.00pm at Oasis Café. The eatery, which is quite highly-rated online, is two blocks away from one of the famous landmarks in town: St. George's Anglican Cathedral.

SIN: Singapore Airlines SQ392 (Premium Economy)

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 旅弁当)

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.

TWN: EVA Air BR226 (Economy)

How about indulging in some tea-infused menu onboard? Let's start our trip to the Americas with an exploration of the in-flight food and beverages onboard EVA Air BR226 from Singapore to Taipei, Taiwan. Photos in the coming posts remain in a square format because, as mentioned earlier, I lost most of my photos and the only ones I've got left are those I've shared on my Instagram.
