Food is my gateway into experiencing cultures that I’m unfamiliar with and every now and then, I get to experience something new and lasting.

No other place has gotten close to perfecting the meat & rice combination like they have. A lil’ […]

Eating at ‘Raya Restaurant’ Michellin Guide Fame – Phuket, Thailand
Another Mark Wiens recommended joint, Raya Restaurant is located in Phuket town and serves up some delicate & scrumptious Thai Sino dishes. Set in a renovated Sino-Thai mansion with a hint of Portuguese (or so I was told) this place feels more like home than a well-known restaurant. I had planned this visit well in […]

Parsi Cuisine at ‘SodaBottleOpenerWala’ – Khan Market, New Delhi
I had never been to a Parsi restaurant in my life and didn’t know what to expect. The name “Sodabottleopenerwala” was an ingenious way of grabbing someone’s attention, but then I came to realise that most Parsi’s had really cool surnames. Located in the upscale Khan Market, then place was quite easy to spot among […]

Garlicky Crispy Pata from “Krazy Garlik” – Manila
The Garlicky Crispy Pata is the dish to have here. Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, I was in seventh heaven after the first bite.
