Heralded as the World’s Leading Culinary Destination, not once, but six times, Peru has become the top country to visit for its gastronomy. Peruvian food is a beautiful confluence of cultures that has created a gastronomic experience like no other.

Penang is the most food-obsessed place we have ever been to! Folks eat out all the time. Food is ubiquitous, quick, convenient and affordable. Most of the meals served around Penang are prepared by street vendors in so-called “hawker stalls”. Like Ashray would say comparing street food with graffiti “these ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/penang-multicultural-food/feed/ 7 https://bkpk.me/serra-da-estrela-cheese-workshop/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=serra-da-estrela-cheese-workshop https://bkpk.me/serra-da-estrela-cheese-workshop/#comments Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:27:24 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=21061
We recently took a trip around the Central Region of Portugal. The places we visited were charming. The people were kind. But the food, oh the food, that was the absolute highlight of it all!

I was recently talking with a foreign friend here in Portugal and she mentioned something that I had never actually thought about. In Portugal, people tend to be proud of their job.

Lok Lok is not exclusively sold in the late hours of the night. But it is certainly after dark, following the closing hours of most other restaurants and street stalls, that this specialty of Penang shines bright!     Georgetown, the colorful capital of the Malaysian island of Penang, is ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/lok-lok-the-ultimate-late-night-street-food-in-penang/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul https://bkpk.me/authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul/#comments Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:53:55 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=20664
It’s only been a few weeks since our trip to Korea came to an end, and we’ve already cooked bibimbap (비빔밥) at home at least 5 times!

On a fine day back in 2011 I thought my life was coming to an end. That was the day when I almost shat myself to death in Doha’s airport.

If India and Mexico made love, they could give birth to something beautiful! No doubt the newborn would dress colorfully and adorn its everyday things with vibrant tones. It would be saucy, spicy and topped with heaps of cilantro.

After spending a couple of days in Penang, I couldn’t help but think: what took us so long to come here? For most of our traveling years, Penang wasn’t even on our radar.

Romanian cuisine is quite meat oriented. Yet, surprisingly, it is fairly easy for vegetarians and even vegans to eat local food all over the country. Sounds contradictory, right? Allow me to explain… Romanians tend to rejoice with traditional dishes such as Sarmale (cabbage rolls stuffed with ground meat), Ciorba de ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/how-to-eat-vegetarian-like-a-local-in-romania/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/italian-cooking-class-in-bologna-fresh-pasta-for-the-soul/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=italian-cooking-class-in-bologna-fresh-pasta-for-the-soul https://bkpk.me/italian-cooking-class-in-bologna-fresh-pasta-for-the-soul/#comments Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:01:16 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=18958

Europe might not sound like the most affordable destination, but Portugal proves surprisingly affordable. Historically, travelers have overlooked Portugal. However, I am happy to notice that Portugal welcomes more and more visitors each year.

Mexican cuisine has got to be one of the most misrepresented when it comes to the international dining scene. So much that, for years, and until we actually traveled to Mexico, Ashray was convinced he hated Mexican food.
