Sunday, February 19, 2006 Epicurean Delights One of the things I love about big cities is the availability of different types of cuisine. Hanging out in Chicago can be a culinary adventure--there's all sorts of stuff here that I've never had before, which is a rarity being the exploratory type I am and growing up in Singapore. Today I had Colombian food for lunch and tried rabbit for the first time (I never say this but it honestly does taste like chicken--just stringier). Colombians apparently aren't very creative or fancy--a typical meal consists of roast or pan-fried meat, a potato, yucca fries, rice, plantains, and salad (no dressing). It's good though. Yesterday I had dim sum (Chinese) and the previous night I had Persian food, which is surprisingly good. I ordered duck in pomegranate sauce and tried some of Bryan's quail since I hadn't had that before (it has a similar texture to pork and tastes a little like lamb). So in the last month I've been to restaurants representing Belize, China, Ethiopia, Colombia, the US, Iran, Mexico, and Vietnam. It's like traveling without the passport. ^ Top | 8:40 PM | | |
