Guangzhou - Taste of China
For one fabulous week, Andrew and I wandered through the busy streets, back alleys, parks and lake district of Guangzhou stopping when we were hungry to sample the local food. Unable to speak or read a word of Chinese, we had some hilarious encounters trying to communicate with the restaurant staff who were unfailingly kind and patient with us.
Guangzhou is where Cantonese cuisine originated and there is a veritable cornucopia of restaurants to sample Cantonese and other culinary delights.
Kuala Lumpur - Taste of Malaysia
I just love this big vibrant melting pot of a city with it’s many different races and cultures, gleaming skyscrapers and colonial buildings. Being multicultural, the seemingly limitless choice of food is incredible and the best place to experience it is with street food. It’s an interesting city to explore on foot and a great way to walk off the inevitable over indulgence of fabulous food.
