Eat Them All

On the menu lists, there found the words “Please note, in addition to the menu, vegetables and salad is NOT decoration, but they are part of the food too!” This is not intimidation, but the message of a restaurant that fed up with trash left by guests. Restaurants told its customers to eat everything on the plate each for love to the earth. If you do not spend it, the customer must pay the fine and should not be returned.

Yukako Ichikawa chef even 30 percent discount for guests who ate their food demolished in Wafu, Surry Hills, Sydney, who described the “guilt free Japanese cuisine.” “For a sustainable future, we are a bit demanding than most restaurants,” he said in the policy list in the restaurant which has been locked. If customers remain indifferent, they were forbidden to eat again.

Wafu strict policy was welcomed by some people, but also criticized as an act of arrogance. Ichikawa was not affected. “Wafu is not just a restaurant, but also an extension of personal ethics Yukako for food and food,” said a statement on its website Wafu. “We are not only committed to serving foods that maintain and respect their bodies, but also actively dedicated to the understanding of waste, Read the rest of this entry »

Bun Bo Hue

In a small shop near the Ben Thanh Market in Vietnam, there is an interesting sign board that reads: Bun Bo Hue. Hue is the name of a region in the central part of Vietnam. That is, this is the Bun Bo (beef vermicelli) from the Hue region. In the shop there is an explanation that this gravy beef vermicelli follows Dong Son in the culinary traditions of the past. But, even if the meat cows, often also mixed with meat from the pig knee.

The vermicelli is rather wide, flat, and made from rice. Sauce is spicy enough – though can be specially ordered if do not like spicy – sour taste with a kick of lime and lemongrass which is strong enough, and herbaceous taste complicated. In this shop, was once the sauce is wearing some kind of frustration.

The beef was boiled with spices, and thinly sliced. Meat can be individually selected enhancements. There are pigs knees, there is also oxtail. Sometimes there is also a shop that provides the blood of the cow / pig steamed, diced, and fried.

Same with the Pho (typical Vietnamese noodle), which of course you already know, bun bo is also served with raw bean sprouts, cilantro leaves, sliced chili, and heart / flower thinly sliced steamed bananas. In general, the soup bun bo is more tasty and more seasoned when compared to the Pho broth is more clear.

In these stalls I also had the chance to taste some typical side dishes of Hue. The first is Bánh nam. In terms of texture and flavor, shrimp-like Cong fan who often present at the dim sum dishes.

There is also Bánh bot loc, it looks like Bánh nam, but the contents of starch with minced pork. Another dish that I tasted is Chao tom, which is wrapped shrimp skewers which has become a popular dish typical of Vietnam. Seasoned minced shrimp wrapped around on a piece of sugarcane.

Enjoying Ginger Milk in Macau

Ginger milk drinking experience in Macau can be equated with drinking hot chocolate (cioccolata calda) in Italy. In the winter, the Italians like to drink hot chocolate. However, these drinks were served in a state that is very thick and very dense with Porridge-like consistency or viscosity. We can not sip this drink, but must be spooned slowly.

Ginger milk in Macau was performed with a consistency similar to porridge. Apparently, the chemistry of milk in a certain temperature will be coagulated when poured into a solution of ginger juice. The temperature in which the milk is mixed is a secret that is deeply held hereditary. I suspect that even mixed with the special technique of pouring. Macau ginger milk is also similar to hot milk yogurt in Turkey that is brewed with powdered roots of orchids, so thick like rubber -like sticky liquid.

The Macau ginger milk is quite identical with Macau own food. There is no place more suited to the taste the dishes of Macau other than in Macau itself. In Hong Kong, just 65 kilometers west of Macau, actually can be found a few restaurants with Macanese Cuisine nameplate.

Along the small streets, do not forget to also stop in to try pastel de nata, pastry sprinkled with cinnamon, a very typical Portuguese. There is also a snack that many people eat while walking, which is bun with fried pork chop fillings. Pork chop bun is widely available in restaurants as the substitution of rice.
