Desserts in Budapest

Melanie — Fri, 15 May 2015 15:27:54 +0000

The main reason we chose Budapest for our last full month-long home in Europe was the huge selection of awesome Airbnb apartments for dirt cheap prices. But a very, very, very close second was all the decadent desserts in Budapest. Hungary is a country with an incredible cake scene – it was like a dream […]

Eating in Budapest

Melanie — Fri, 08 May 2015 13:00:56 +0000

If you do a little research about Hungarian food, you’ll start to see some common themes. Words like starchy, heavy, and fattening will come up regularly. It’s heavy on the meat and bread, and light on the vegetables. In fact, it wasn’t too long ago that ordering a “salad” in Hungary meant getting a plate full […]

Eating and Drinking in Split, Croatia

Melanie — Fri, 10 Apr 2015 13:00:58 +0000

Split’s food scene has a little something for everyone. With bargain basement prices, Eating and Drinking in Split, Croatia is a complete joy. We didn’t have high hopes for this small city based on things we had read in guidebooks, so we were pleasantly surprised with the restaurant and wine options. While the food definitely […]

A Saga to Find Good, Cheap Food in Koh Lanta

Melanie — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 14:00:30 +0000

UPDATE 2/20/2018: One of my readers reported this month that this place is now closed! So sad! For the most part, the food scene on Thailand’s islands is a barren wasteland full of overpriced and under-flavored foods that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I don’t know what causes this phenomenon, but I […]

The Best Restaurants in Chiang Mai

Melanie — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:00:26 +0000

We recently realized that the single biggest driver behind the locations we choose for vacations is the local cuisine. We visited Vietnam last December because of our deep love of Pho. We travelled to Germany for the beer. We made a trip to Southern Thailand mostly so we could order a peanut sauce and noodles dish that […]

Rice Cooker Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Melanie — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:00:48 +0000

Please do me a favor. Walk into your kitchen, get out your electric mixer, and just give it a hug for me. I miss my kitchenaid mixer soooooo much, and have never missed it more than this week when I used a FORK to beat egg whites into soft peaks. A FORK! It’s like I’m living […]

Eating in Singapore

Melanie — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:00:02 +0000

Singapore’s food scene is absolutely epic. There are food centers full of “Hawker Stalls” all over the city where you can try dishes from all over Asia. Not only is the food at Hawker Stalls more delicious, it’s also much cheaper than sit-down restaurants. Contrary to what you might think after reading my last post, […]

Singapore’s Little India, A Love Story (or, a Food Story?)

Melanie — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:00:34 +0000

I love Indian food SO MUCH. I love it more than cake, more than sweet corn, more than ice cream, even more than home baked wheat bread. So when we stumbled upon a neighborhood called Little India during our recent 1-week trip to Singapore, I became a little attached to it. We went out to […]

Fourth of July in Thailand

Melanie — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 14:21:28 +0000

In honor of the good ‘ol USA, we decided to have “America Day” here in Chiang Mai this Fourth of July Friday. We’re about a half a day ahead of everyone back home in the States, so most of you are just waking up as our day comes to a close. There aren’t a ton […]

Overeating in Pai, Part 2: Savory Eats

Melanie — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:00:14 +0000

This is my third post about our recent 3-night trip up to Pai, a slow little mountain town that’s popular with the backpacker crowd and tourists seeking relaxation. Like I said in my previous post about cakes, pies and coffees in Pai, about the only thing to do in Pai is eat! I don’t want […]
