Fun Places to Eat
Fun places to eat in the world
Poke (Hawaii, USA)
Freshly cut cubes of raw Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) combined with soy sauce, sesame oil, sea salt, chili pepper, sweet onions, and limu seaweed is one of the great culinary creations of this world.
The fish (which should be caught locally and never frozen) is the texture of ripe papaya – so smooth and tender I sometimes can’t help myself from chewing with my lips instead of my teeth.
A chilled piece of poke combined with a proportional amount of steamed rice in the same bite is a sensation that’s so divine, it’s hard to believe you’re still on earth.
Aguachido (Playa del Carmen, Mexico)
Playa del Carmen is known for its seafood and while you can get great options everywhere, all the locals go to a restaurant called Aguachiles.
Here you can find aguachido: shrimp marinated in lemon juice with clamato and fresh vegetables. Unbelievably fresh and while it is only a few dollars it rivals anything I’ve eaten at high-end restaurants.
Khao Soi (Thailand)
It’s soft and yellow egg noodles bathed in a thick curry broth. Not soup. Broth. It is then topped with deep-fried, crispy egg noodles, and eaten with pickled greens on the side. The broth is coconut milk-based and the curry can either be cooked with chicken, pork, or beef. Beef is my favorite kind of Khao Soi, especially the ones prepared by the Thai Muslim women in Chiang Mai’s Muslim area along Chang Klan Road.the food and beverage is awesome and yummy.
Poulet Yassa / Chicken Yassa (Senegal)
Yassa is a heaven-sent marinade of lemon, onion and chile, often taken to the next level with a touch of dijon mustard and some freshly grated ginger. Chicken is slow cooked in this flavorful mixture before it is served over rice.
White Pizza – Old Forge Pizza (Pennsylvania, USA)
The White pizza is the one. It’s not a regular pizza you know; Old Forge-White Pizza is a creamy-cheesy-and-even-heartwarming heaven in the mouth. The white pizza has a double crust, on the botton and the top, with cheese filling. I don’t know what they do to the cheese, but it’s heavenly soft.
You’d want to travel around the world to eat that; I literally did.
Little Bird Bristo: The more casual bistro sister of much lauded Le Pigeon. Comfy banquettes. Downtown.
The Woodsman Tavren:Owned by Stumptown’s Sorenson, with strong New York influences (and prices). AG’s is more Italian, while WT is all about the meat (and oysters).
Ataula:Jose Chesa is considered the most important Spanish chef this side of José Andrés. A perfect gastropub espanol.Noma
