23 years old, it was my age that traveling aboard for the first time. Yes, it is relatively late when comparing to many youngsters nowadays. But I do not feel jealous or regret because my last 10 years traveling experience was memorable and fun. I am flexible – I can travel like a backpacker or make a luxury hideaway trip depends on the destination and my mood. But one thing in common to create an amazing trip is to satisfy your taste buds and stomach before everything!
I love eating, especially when I am on holiday. A taste of local food can tell you some stories and culture about the country. This is the original taste that you cannot easily find from any other countries. Taste memory is one of the ways to keep your memory sharp at any age.
I live in Hong Kong so I can eat nice Chinese food every day. I insist to eat local food of that city during holiday. Don’t try to suggest eating Chinese food or I will angry at you! Many years ago, I had a trip with my Thailand friend to Sydney. She loves Chinese culture and studied in Sydney high school so I relied on her without doing any research about the city. Our first lunch, she asked “What do you want to eat?”. I said “Anything except Chinese food”. She hesitated…. and said “I love Chinese food so I only know the good Chinese restaurants only. Or you can suggest one maybe?”. It was 10 years ago and I didn’t know how to use Google Map to check nearby restaurants and direction! We were standing in the middle of street and I couldn’t give any suggestions because lack of information. Finally, we had Chinese food for almost every lunch and dinner (we had buffet breakfast at hotel). Yep, I used the word “almost” because we did have one Western meal, it’s called McDonald’s… After so many years, I still feel a bit upset yet funny when I think about it. I therefore try the best to write many reviews in Google Map about restaurants and recommend food to help other people to taste some good local food.
You have a choice to choose what you want to eat…. Just check Google Map!!
