Chef's Tan Kota Kinabalu

Just got off the plane. Hungry from traveling. Looking for local food in cool suuroundings. Had the spicy tom yam and cream prawns. For dessert had kaya or coconut butter toast and chocolate. Yummy. The prawns were crunchy and delicious. Cafe style dining. Also had delicious barbecue pork. Sweet and savory  pork with salad. Attentive staff.

Formosa Vegetarian Eating House Kardinya West Aust

Vegetarian with tofu & tempeh dishes in Aisan flavours. Worth a visit for the non carnivore.

 The specials outside the store.

Chicken & veges. Claims that they are linked to Utopia the other vegetarian eatery whose founders are from Taiwan (modern name for Formosa Island)

The BBQ plate. The mock meat is a sandwich of tempeh and some kinda of gelatin? Goes well with the bowl of plain steamed rice in the background.

Satay lamb. Chunks of fried tofu coated with spicy peanut sauce. This really fills you up. My colleagues paid. So I didn't get to find out the price of the vegetarian food. 

Definitely worth trying if you are a vegetarian.

Tak po Singapore

I had late night dim sum. Big chicken bun, yam cakes and pork congee. Washed down with cold sweet barley water. $12.60
Relatively good prices. $1.5 for the bun. Congee about $5. The drinks $1.6 and yam was $1.5
Too bad they closed the clay pot rice section. Service was a bit patchy as the kind ladies forgot some orders and may have lost some orders. Nice Chinatown bustle and atmosphere.

Ten Ten Kitchen Perth

An old family favorite. Fast service. Hot food. Combination of South east Asian & chinese cuisine with a bit of Aussie influence. We had fried kueh teow $14, fried rice with salted fish $14, malay chicken curry, fried runner beans with sambal & prawn and steamed rice. Food from Asia.....
We were concerned about the curry taking some time to come out. They assured us it was being cooked & not microwaved. The taste maybe not spicy or chili hot enough for some. However, just fine for those less tolerable of chili. Good stop off for a meal anytime you are around the vicinity. It is not a fine dining experience but practical.

Huas Dim Sum Hong Kong

We had a 16 hour layover in Hong Kong. So we went for dim sum breakfast in Kowloon. At 10 Jordan rd, Kowloon. Caught A22 bus and got of in Jordan after 30 mins from airport. Cheery new surroundings.  Some fusion items like cuttlefish & foie gras  balls, crispy cakes that were voulevants. Also had an awesome kimchee dumpling below. We had traditional favorites like porridge. Also steamed souffles. We were too early so fried items were not available. Steam items were hot & fresh. 

Paristanbul Paris

On 16 Rue st Lazare on our daily route from Sacre cour to Galeries Lafayette and the palais du concorde and louvre.
We were looking for pre dinner snack. Turkish fast food restaurant. Ordered the kebabs and chips for £5.5 Large serve. With lots of chicken. Fast service. Seems popular as the whole kebab roast that was made in the morning when we walked by had gone by 6pm when we walked by second time. A must visit if you are staying around Montmartre. A quick artist's lunch? Chips were too quick in frying but they were trying to be helpful.
