UGA: St. Anthony's Restaurant

Image
Where locals go for 'luwombo' and 'matooke'! There doesn't seem to be many big restaurants, if at all, serving authentic local cuisine in Kampala, Uganda. I recall having a hard time finding one when doing my research before the trip. Thankfully, I came across St. Anthony's Restaurant from Google Maps, one such eatery that doesn't actually have written menu.

Fried fish caught from the lake with nice dry rub! My BFF and I had the opportunity to visit Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which is located somewhere in Lake Victoria. We booked a day trip inclusive of lunch at the island with African Adventure Travellers. Due to the rain earlier, our late arrival at the island caused us to have a late lunch at around 3.30pm.

MLI: African Grill

Image
Have you tried couscous made of fermented cassava before? We've come to the last post on Bamako, Mali, and most likely there won't be any more in the future. Before leaving for another African country, my BFF and I had our last meal at African Grill during lunch time. It's a no-frills eatery located within the premise of National Museum of Mali.

MLI: Restaurant Azalai

Trying two Malian and two Senegalese main courses! "You went to Mali? Are you crazy?" was the question that many people raised in disbelief. Yes, I did, dragging my BFF along. Our time in the Western African country was short, and twice we actually had dinner at Restaurant Azalai inside Azalai Grand Hotel (4*) where we were staying at.

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.
