Quater Grocery - French Quater

It is the 4th July, and as expected on a public holiday, alot of places are closed. Our host explained to us that there is a grocery story on the corner that has surprisingly good hot sandwiches, so we went to investigate.

Liberty Food Truck - Austin

Tucked away behind, no sorry, through a bar on E 6th street is the Liberty food truck. We had read that they served some awesome food so we took a drive down to see what we could have.

Alamo Street Eat Bar

We have known alot about the food truck scene in America long before buying our tickets to come out here - mostly from American shows we watch, and so were excited to finally get to try some food out of them.

Huxtaburger - Melbourne Central

FINALLY! After what feels like an age, Anthony gets to eat a hamburger. We select the new outlet of Huxtaburger for his fix. Just round the back of Flinders Street station, it was nearly impossible to find, but thanks to GPS, Anthony reached his destination.

Zumbo - Sydney

After years of watching Masterchef Australia, we were desperate to get at least a little piece of ZUMBO! So while we were in Sydney, we found our chance at The Star.

Tim Ho Wan - Hong Kong

When you think of a Michelin Star meal, a railway station is not the first thought that comes to your mind. However, on our 7 hour layover in Hong Kong we managed to find Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong Central Station. 

Banh Beo - Hoi An

We were intrigued by this street vendor and couldn't wait to try the dish that she was serving. Crouched down on a tiny chair, this lady was surrounded by tins full of home-made sauces, herbs and pickles. She took a ceramic bowl filled with what looked like a rice jelly, white and slightly wobbly, and covered it with a spoonful of goodies from each of her tins.

Com ga Ba Nga - chicken Rice -Hoi An

Another of Tu's recommendations was a local spot serving chicken rice. This was very different from the touristy spots in the main part of the town, and we were interested to see what the food would be like.

Banh mi - Hoi An

Our lovely food tour guide Tu had sent us some suggestions for food in Hoi An and yet again we were delighted with his recommendations. Our favourite meal without a doubt, was banh mi, a dish that we had become familiar with in London.

Xoi Yen and coffee creme caramel

For tonight's dinner, we decided to try xoi yen, sticky rice topped with all sorts of goodies. We followed the lonely planet's recommendation and saw two restaurants with the same name next to each other. We went for the busy one, where we had to climb two floors to find a table. We squeezed onto tiny plastic stools and looked through a rather faded menu to choose what we wanted. I went for Chinese sausage and BBQ pork belly and Anthony tried his with Chinese sausage and a fried egg. Both were delicious!

Secret coffee and Bun Cha

After a very leisurely start to the day, we decided that we needed to get up and go in search of coffee and lunch. We decided to look for a secret cafe, through a silk shop and up many flights of winding stairs. We found it easily and were delighted with both the view of the lake and the amazing coffee. I really like Vietnamese coffee and this sweet hot black coffee was delicious! Anthony was more adventurous and went for the egg milk coffee, a sweet frothy coffee with a rather custardy flavour.
