When you visit Hong Kong, there are many things you must do – go on the Lion Rock hike, visit the Big Budhha, take the Peak Tram, and many more. However, there is one activity in Hong Kong that many travellers miss – trying dim sum. Because of how complicated and intimidating dim sum restaurants might …
This was not so much about me sharing the sweet custardy delight of durian with my loved ones back home. But more for the challenge and adventure of travelling with this notoriously stinky fruit, which is pretty much banned from public transport, hotels and airlines in Thailand. “No Durian Allowed”. And I really just thought …
Taiwan’s street food is not just good. It’s legendary. While much of Taiwan’s food originated in Fujian and other provinces of China, many Chinese dishes have been adjusted or reborn in Taiwan, while others are totally unprecedented and have helped to put Taiwanese food as a distinct cuisine on the global food map.

And as someone who travels almost solely for food, this means the techniques and recipes I’ve picked up along the way are pretty much invaluable. Including …
I never quite realised just how popular Asian Street food is until this collab, where in mere hours I already had 50 plus entries from travellers and bloggers from all across the globe.
