Back from my travels

Published on June 1, 2009 in Food, Photos and Travel. 1 Comment

After a solid month of eating and chilling, Im back. Despite eating anything and everything that looked remotely edible, I managed to gain only a couple of kilos. Almost every meal brought with it something new and challenging to my palette, from sea snails and chicken feet, to deep fried fish heads and pig’s trotters.

I’m too lazy to sort through and upload my photos yet – instead, I am trying to get out of holiday mode and get back into training and coding :/

Night market at Kenting, Taiwan.

Yummy Indian puddings

khulfi.jpgI recently discovered a nice Indian (actually Bengali) restaurant, just down the road from the East London Mosque, near Brick Lane. After stuffing myself with curry, I had not one, but two puddings – a yummy Khulfi (pictured) and an even yummier thing called Kheer!

Bath Spa cathedralI went to see my mum in Wells at the weekend, picked blackberries to make a crumble, tormented the dog and generally chilled out. It’s the smallest city in England and where they filmed Hot Fuzz.

I took the train to Bath Spa, so there’s a couple of snaps from there too.

Weird Chinese Food

Nutritious Pickle For StudentsBought this from the Japanese food store in Brewer Street. It’s full of weird and wonderful things that could be food or a toy of some kind.

I was just intrigued by this ‘Nutritious Pickle For Students‘ (which I thought was Japanese, I’m told it’s Chinese), as I was by the UFO Noodles, or the drink called Pocari Sweat… yum!
