The Heaping Plate Before Me: Siam Rice Thai Cookery

The first time I went to the Siam Rice Thai Cookery, I experienced the single greatest day of over-indulgence of my life.  For my second visit, I expected more of the same, and I wasn’t disappointed. As friends and family might attest, I have two remarkably hollow legs in which I can store large quantities of …

Eating Sannakji (Live Octopus)

Every culture has foods which cause people from the outside to raise an eyebrow and exclaim, “You seriously eat that?”  In the US, some people eat deep-fried butter on sticks.  In France, foie gras is a tasty thing to slice (not spread!) onto a baguette.  In the Philippines and other countries, partially developed duck eggs …

Gluttony and Bliss: A Day at Siam Rice Thai Cookery School

When Sandy and I made our way up the railways of Thailand to the city of Chiang Mai, we each had a certain ‘must do’ experience in mind.  For Sandy, it was the Elephant Nature Park we went to on Thursday.  For me, it was taking a cooking class at the Siam Rice Thai Cookery …

A Day Around Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu isn’t a huge city, which makes it relatively easy to navigate around.  That said, it’s still the largest urban area in Borneo, so it isn’t exactly small either.  After being here a few days and doing pretty much nothing except walk around, I figured I’d put together a map with a few handy …

Things to Do in Bacolod

I spent the last week in Bacolod for the Masskara Festival, as you may have read in my previous post.  The festival itself was a mixed bag, but definitely worth checking out at least once.  The town of Bacolod itself I enjoyed much more.  We did many things over the course of the 6 days, …

Masskara Festival: the Experience

Pretty much the entire point of my journey to Bacolod was to enjoy the Masskara Festival that the island/city is known for.  According to the website/reviews/other write-ups I’d seen, I was expecting something similar to Mardi Gras.  Eh…. not quite.  It’s fun, to be sure, but I don’t think it’s quite the same.  The biggest …

Boshintang: Redefining ‘Puppy Chow’

Today I ate something that, several years ago, I swore I would never eat.  Sara, Alisa, and I went to a restaurant and ordered boshintang (보신탕).  One unique thing about boshintang is its primary ingredient… dog meat. While dog meat is part of Korean cuisine, it is a very small part.  There are many Koreans …
