Food, kebab and New York
>> Wednesday, December 5, 2012
I hardly mention about food in my travel blog, but today is exception. Being a student at that time, I could not afford to spend money eating at restaurant I have to say I had mostly kebab and fillet burger from Mc Donald and sometimes the famous instant food noodles, maggie mee on my menu when I was travelling. Basically you can find these food in any city in the world and they are cheap.
Nevertheless I do have some interesting story to tell about my encounter with food. In New York, I ate mostly kebab from lunch to dinner which I bought from food stall stands in the streets of New York. One of famous sight of New York apart from yellow cabs. You can find food stall stands at every corner of New York streets selling hot dogs, kebab, burgers, falafels, gyros, drinks etc. In New York, food from the east contributed by the immigrants have been integrated to the menu of the city. This is one of the wonderful things about New York.
I went to a restaurant and had a pizza and espresso in Rome . I have to say Italians do make the best pizza. In New York, I had tom yam at a Thai Restaurant and the chef is from Malaysia. I still remember the creamy coconut taste of tom yam in my mouth that is different from the tom yam that I usually have in Malaysia. I often eat at Thai restaurants in Malaysia as Thai food is one of my favourites . I have to say and this is just my personal opinion, Thai food is the best food in the world and no wonder you can easily find Thai food from all corners of the world.
I became hooked to coffee after my trip to Paris and US and I still am until now. I tried to buy Folgers coffee in sachets online, but the shipping delivery cost is twice the price of the coffee itself. Now I satisfy myself with grind coffee from Starbucks and make myself a cup of coffee everyday. My day will not be complete without coffee. There is nothing better than having a teh tarik in the morning and a coffee in the afternoon and it is my routine . There was research finding that said drinking 1-2 cups a days keep your heart healthy, so I have good excuse to drink my coffee everyday. With the mix of right coffee creamer makes such a good taste of coffee.It is hard to find good coffee creamer in Malaysia, I am talking about the liquid coffee creamer such as ' half and half ' not the powdered coffee creamer because the coffee does not taste good with powdered creamer. I also do not like flavored coffee creamer like cinnamon taste, blubbery etc. I like real taste of coffee. I had a chance to taste Mexican food during my visit to USA like tortilla with hot sauce and chille.
p/s Just want to share with you interesting .story about Scientology.
How did Scientology get started? L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer. Hubbard. an atheist, was mocking on religion and said "I could come up with a fake religion, and people would flock to it!" Couple years later, he came up with the religion.
