For the past 10 months I have been more or less in Bangkok with a legit established English teaching sub-professional thing which some people call a “job.”
Though I have been able to take a few incredible international trips to places like Angkor Wat, Mount Kinabalu, Bandar Seri Begawan, and countless domestic adventures, the sense of a job was almost like having 1 arm in a handcuff.
With only two months left on my year long contract, I’ve been able to organize (not fully planned) an itinerary for the next 6 months.  I’m mostly writing …

I love to eat, possibly more than any other activity. This article is a little different from the usual buffet finishing articles and pictures that I usually write, yet it’s something to think about. If you eat the portions of food I do, it’s important to keep nutrition in mind and eat a balanced (albeit massive) diet. Even though I might devour a carnivorous meat platter in Uruguay, I try to balance it out with a garden full of vegetables and an orchard full of fresh fruit. …

With an artful composition, an ambrosial aroma, a flavor from paradise, and a satisfaction that surpasses understanding, it’s no wonder I spent my last 5 Ringgits on a delightful bowl of Malaysian Curry Laksa and was forced to walk myself to the airport…

Guest Post by Louise Baker from Zen College Life
People from around the world have many things in common, but one thing all people enjoy is the love of eating great food. In addition to its essential need for health and life, food creates an emotional experience by making us feel happy, satisfied, thankful and giving us a sense of well-being. Countries are often defined by certain foods that are cultural or common to a region because of economy and agriculture. Traveling to different places gives us the opportunity to explore …

Take a bite of Kuala Lumpur and experience a city where the Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures synthesize into a diverse and fascinating habitat.  KL is a place where ultra modern technologies blend into a surrounding of natural tropical botany, where a love camaraderie for all things edible percolates through a world of different cultures, and where everyone is encouraged to become their own gastronome.  A spoon of Kuala Lumpur includes a sensation that will touch all taste buds and draw you into a Malaysia that is Truly Asia!

1. Petronas …

As I write this, I have just finished wringing and hanging out my 6 articles of clothing on the line to dry for the day.  It’s become a normal routine, instinctively built into my every other day schedule.  I throw a little soap in the bucket, let my clothes soak for a few minutes, rinse them out, and hang them on the line to dry.  It takes me all of 5 minutes and just a wee bit of effort that has since become routinely engrained.

Right now, I live in an …

Ngiu Chap Beef Noodle Soup
Restaurant: Gaya Street Restaurant
Location: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Cost: 5 MYR (1.57 USD)
Throughout my stay in Asia, I’ve enjoyed more than a few beef noodle soups.  I was recommended to sample Sabah, Malaysia’s own variation known as Ngiu Chap. This Kota Kinabalu favorite can be ordered with a choice of noodles and a combination of mixed beef toppings.  This bowl included beef, beef balls, a little bit of tripe, a small piece of tongue, and a few parts that I had no idea where they originated.  The broth was not overly greasy yet still powerfully beefy.  …

1. Es Pisang Ijo – Yogyakarta, Indonesia (originates from Sulawesi)

Es Pisang Ijo roughly translates to “green banana ice,” and that is precisely what it is, along with some added goodies.  This mixed bowl of refreshing goodness can only be described as green bananas floating in an icy red syrup with a creamy pudding like substance coating all things and unable to dissolve into the liquid.  Es pisang ijo is a brilliant icy creation and a wonderful dessert in Indonesia.
