Here's something quite exotic: a Himalayan restaurant that's operating in New Jersey. It has a mix of Chinese and Indian influences since the Himalayas are between both countries, and it's halal too.

Interesting market in Chiang Mai with lots of food from Yunnan tribes and even Myanmar. Most items are quite familiar, such as noodles and samosas, but done slightly differently.

Is that chicken lollipop a trend here in SG yet? I feel like it could be quite popular.

I've seen a few places sell it but probably not a "trend" like mala or how rainbow-coloured desserts were a few years ago.

I love it when restaurants can be so good at making simple dishes that it attracts long queues every day. This restaurant selling mee hoon kueh in Klang is a nice example. 



Video is in Chinese but if you need any translation, let me know.

Looks delicious. It can be tricky finding good mee hoon kueh in Singapore because some stalls sell it with soup that is too light and flavourless, but this restaurant in Klang looks solid.

So true! The soup really makes or breaks a bowl of mee hoon kueh or ban mian. It's not fun when ordering a bowl of mee hoon kueh and tasting the soup only to find that it tastes mostly of MSG.

The noodles at 20:20 looks like my type of noodles.  Almost like Asian-style spaghetti.

The presentation in this high end restaurant in Monaco is really top notch. Check out how they serve the steamed fish and tea.
