Laos food is vibrant, colorful, packed with herbs and chilies, and the combinations of ingredients are guaranteed to thrill your taste-buds. Although the food of Laos, or Laotian food, is making waves across the world.
On the first leg, there were no options for the airplane food, but they served everyone the same thing. They called it a light breakfast, and on the tray was a croissant, a muffin, fruit, some cheeses, and a selection of different cold cut meats. The meats and cheese were pretty good.
Kewa is potato, so kewa datshi is potatoes and Bhutanese cheese. It surprised me by how similar kewa datshi is to a dish similar to scalloped potatoes.The potatoes are typically sliced into thin pieces, then sautéed down with cheese and lots of butter. Sometimes cooks will toss in a few chilies or tomatoes, but usually, this is a Bhutanese dish that’s pretty mild, but just focuses on potatoes and cheese.
During my month staying in Bhutan, shakam paa quickly became one of our favorite protein dishes of choice. Again, the beef is slightly chewy from being dried and preserved, and it’s combined with lots of dry chilies.One thing we loved about Bhutanese cooking is how the chilies are just tossed in whole — don’t worry about slicing things up and making them look pretty — you get the whole chilies in Bhutan, amazing.
You’ll eat ema datshi not only everyday when you’re in Bhutan, but likely for just about every meal when you’re in Bhutan. The chilies, which can be either fresh green chilies or dry red chilies, are sliced lengthwise, and cooked with datshi, which is local Bhutanese cheese, and plenty of butter for good measure.
If you love spicy, there are a lot of incredibly spicy foods to eat when you’re in Indonesia. But there was one dish that topped them all in the spicy department for me.When We were in Jakarta, many people recommended We try a type of Indonesian grilled chicken dish, called Ayam Bakar Taliwang, mentioning “since you love spicy food, you’re going to love it.”
One of the reasons We love to travel so much is to taste local foods, and I also love nothing more than trying something We’ve never tried before.When We noticed the reindeer steak on the menu at Restaurant Pelikan, just like the råbiff, we absolutely had to go for it.
La Boqueria is a famous public market in Barcelona, and if you’re a food lover it’s a pilgrimage worthy destination.Walking around the market, you’ll discover an incredibly quantity and variety of fresh meats and produce, ingredients from around Catalonia and throughout Spain, as well as a never ending streams of tapas calling your name.
Gimbap is among the essential list of Korean foods to eat, rice and a few pickled veggies packed into seaweed, rolled up and sliced into bite sized pieces.Gwangjang Market is famous throughout Korea for vendors that sell Mayak Gimbap, which literally translate to narcotic rice rolls (seriously), and if you could only choose one thing to eat when you’re there, this is what we would recommend.
Among all the delicious Korean food available, Gwangjang Market is particularly famous throughout Seoul for the mung bean pancakes known as bindaetteok.There are some extremely famous stalls in the market, some good info here, but if you just walk around you’ll see dozens of stalls in the center of the market selling this attractive shallow oil fried delicacy.
I’ll admit, they may be a little scary in appearance (and description of what they contain), but don’t let that stop you from ordering a plate of Korean soondae, blood sausage.The Korean version of blood sausage is remarkably juicy and moist, partly because it contains a mixture of blood and a good amount of sticky and soft mung bean noodles or sticky rice.
