Naughty Nuri's, Ubud

Pork ribs being grilled roadside

Ribs and cold martinis to beat the tropical heat. Definitely check this place out if you're ever in Bali.

Le Pichet, Seattle

Protein fest with my pals Masako and Che on my way back to Singapore: pate, fish rillette, pork loin, steak tartare, chicken sausage. This place is great and I can't wait to come back. Sorry about the photo, it was too dark inside to see much of anything.

Indian Stall, Sim Lim Square

Naan, chana masala, and daal from a North Indian stall in Sim Lim Square. They pull the naan right out of the tandoor which gives this place its special edge.

Sausage Fest in HK

I don't know the name of this restaurant but these sausages were damn tasty. Both had an intense rice wine taste to them that I was really into. We also ordered a vegetable mushroom clay pot which was just OK, hence no photo.

Botejyu

This is omu soba and it was pretty damn good. It's basically soba, vegetables, and pork topped with a thin omelette. If you've ever had omu rice then you'll know what I'm talking about. Botejyu is a Japanese chain although I think the local branch in Singapore may have just licensed the name or maybe franchised it.

Harbin Beer

Utterly tasteless. Available at a Chinatown near you.
