One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Tuesday, March 1, 2011.

Epicurious Deb: August 2011
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Sunday, August 7, 2011. I did a five-day detox retreat which involved daily yoga, detox treatments (such as lymphatic massage, colonics, infrared sauna) and a meat-free, soy-free, dairy-free, rice/wheat/grain-free detox diet that mostly consisted of raw vegetables and certain raw fruits. Surprisingly, I never felt deprived and everything was really delicious. Raw pad thai made with coconut tendrils. Raw banana blossom salad. Food rating: * *. Bicho 備...

Epicurious Deb: H Bistro at Hansar Samui
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2013/07/h-bistro-at-hansar-samui.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Thursday, July 11, 2013. H Bistro at Hansar Samui. Amuse bouche - housemade ravioli with crab in buttery broth. Duck breast with smoked duck prosciutto, sweet corn blini with caramelized peach. I'm not a huge fan of duck (other than Peking duck), but the duck here was really well cooked so that the meat was tender and sweet without being too fatty. The corn blini reminded me of the arepas you find in Colombia. Food rating: * *. Bang for buck rating: 4.

Epicurious Deb: Cafe 69
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2013/07/cafe-69.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Thursday, July 11, 2013. Everything about this casual restaurant off the main road in Bophut reminds you you are in Thailand - from the name, to the kitschy disco decor that wouldn't work anywhere else except the land of the thousand smiles, to the owner/chef Vivian who is a man but appears to moonlight as a ladyboy based on a photo on the restaurant wall, but most of all - the fresh, delicious, authentic Thai food. Green chicken curry with mango.

Epicurious Deb: February 2013
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. One of the perks of living in Hong Kong is the opportunity to travel - Hong Kong International Airport is fantastically well-connected to hundreds of international locations, and getting in and out of the airport is the easiest I've experienced the world over. Also, it helps that the husband works for an airline, which offers some travel perks. Amuse: steamed snow crab with grated red turnip, ginger and crab roe. As we we...

Epicurious Deb: June 2013
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Saturday, June 22, 2013. I often hear expats - especially those who previously lived in Tokyo, of which there are many in Hong Kong after the 2011 earthquake - complain that there is no good sushi in Hong Kong. I used to be among them. Sushi Kuu serves decent. Sushi on par with Tokyo, but at human prices. First course of the Hokkaido set (available at lunch) - uni and ikura donburi. I forget what this was - looks like hamachi. Hairy crab with roe.

Epicurious Deb: July 2013
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Friday, July 12, 2013. 1) I abhor overpaying for food. That doesn't mean I eat only cheap food, because I will happily spend $300 on an exquisite sushi or kaiseki meal, or $500 for a meal that I think is life changingly good. But I won't pay $7 for a taco that I know should cost me $2. 4 firm plum tomatoes (other tomato varieties will work too, but I like the flavor of plum tomatoes for this salsa). 1/2 medium white or red onion. A generous glug of g...

Epicurious Deb: April 2010
http://epicurious-deb.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
One woman's neverending search for the next best meal. Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Whatever you do, even if you are full, do not miss the baguettes packed with maple syrup and rich vanilla ice cream for dessert. It tastes so familiar, yet so incredibly unique - and in any case, is absolutely delicious (and is included in the 3000 yen party plan! Appetizer course: tamago rolled around unagi, sesame tofu and bamboo shoots. Cabbage salad with tiny dried anchovies, green onion and nori. Bang for buck rating: 4.
