Quán Ăn Ngon is a popular restaurant in Hanoi (18, Phan Boi Chau Street), Vietnam, which offers a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes and street food.
The restaurant was quite cozy, and the food decent. Not my favourite Hanoi restaurant, but if you can only have one meal in the city… this is probably the place you want to be because of the great varieties.
Most Asian Pacific countries have some sort of rice cake dishes of their own; could be sweet, salty, spicy, and come in variety of shapes.
There are a few versions of rice cakes in Malaysia; the one above is commonly referred as stir-fried-cake, originated from China but has pretty much evolved into a Malaysian Chinese delicacy. Basically it’s a dish with rice-cake cubes stirred fried in soy sauce, with bean sprouts, Chinese chives, and often chillies and eggs.
Some local foods in Jiufen, a small town in Taiwan which I visited in late April 2008…
Taipei’s Shilin Night Market is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Taiwan, famous for its abundance of Taiwanese street food. The place was the first stop for my Taiwan trip in late April 2008…
Nestle has introduced a new flavour for its Kit Kat wafer bar, filled with powder from the famous Yubari melons; and the company will donate 10 yen to the bankrupting city of Yubari from every pack sold.
Sounds generous, but there’s some catches as pointed out by Stippy… turned out its more of a brilliant marketing campaign by Nestle instead of a genuine effort to help Yubari city.
Still, if the product does provide a bit of relieve for the city, I don’t think the folks there would mind if it’s genuine or not. It’s probably easier though, to spend a cool two million yen to buy two of their famous melons instead.
