Yummy Eats (India Edition)

March 07, 2015/ Anais

India is full of wonders and, without a doubt, one of those is its food. As Tyler previously mentioned, it took us 18 days before we repeated a dish. Not surprising when you see the number of vegetables, meats, & spices Indians like to cook with. We kept a detailed list of everything we tried so we could share with you a few of our favorites meals & those I actually took pictures of...sometimes the food just looked too delicious and I completely forgot. We even showed this list to our fellow train-mate during our trip from Agra to Delhi and he was very impressed with the variety and number of dishes we managed to fit in our short three & a half week trip.

Bangkok is a huge city with tons of things to do and it's amazing to us that so many travelers blow through the city quickly. The deeper you dive into the madness, the more you are rewarded. These are our five favorite options for visiting Thailand's capital.

Yummy Eats (Kuala Lumpur Edition)

October 01, 2014/ Anais

With Tyler not feeling well during our time in Kuala Lumpur, we ate most of our meals in Chinatown, where our guesthouse was located. Thankfully, the neighborhood is home to many delicious dishes and we had our fair share of restaurants to pick from. We did venture out a couple times for some variety, including lunch at an Indian restaurant and brunch at an iconic kopitiam, a traditional coffee shop, where we brushed shoulders with quite a few locals.

Yummy Eats (Singapore Edition)

September 09, 2014/ Anais

As Tyler mentioned in his Top 5 post, we were beyond excited to try the food in Singapore. After our time in New Zealand and Australia where we ate in as much as possible and 5 months in South America, where we got our fill of meat and potatoes, we could not wait to get our hands (or should I say mouths?) on rice, noodles, seafood, fruit... well everything really. You'll notice that we ate at hawker centers, complexes which house numerous, inexpensive food stalls, almost exclusively (save for the chili crab) because the food is cheaper there and just as delicious, if not more, as compared to restaurants.

Wining it up in Mendoza

May 12, 2014/ Anais

We stayed in Mendoza for 4 days but only ended up venturing out on a tour one of those days. After more than 2 weeks of hiking in Torres del Paine, El Calafate, El Chalten and Bariloche, it was time for some well-deserved rest. And what does one do when resting? Drink wine, of course! There are many companies in town offering tours to the famous wineries of Mendoza but being the travelers we are, we decided to go on our own. It's cheaper and we liked having the freedom to go to the places we were most interested in. After a bit of online research, we decided to try 3 wineries and 1 olive oil factory. We'd heard from people at the hostel that the olive oil factory had weird hours and closed for a few at lunch time so we stopped there first. It was the farthest one too, which worked out well, as we started there then made our way back into town.
