Machotaco: Mexican Street Food

November 11, 2019 ~ atewhatwhere ~ Leave a comment

Mexican food is somewhat lacking in the South African's hometown of Durban in South Africa. Her exposure to authentic Mexican flavors beyond El Paso Taco Kits (no shade) has been limited at best. The Cambodian has had much more of a connection to the cuisine (and not just because people often think he is indeed, … Continue reading Machotaco: Mexican Street Food

Simple Place

Simple place is about as no frills as you can get. If you drive too quickly down Quoc Huong Street in Thao Dien, you won't even see it. Its the kind of spot you end up at deliberately, not stumble upon unintentionally. Two tiled steps get you up into the restaurant, through the sliding glass … Continue reading Simple Place

The joy of moving to a new neighbourhood (and country!) is looking for a new ‘local’. We definitely don’t mind doing the research if it means we get to add trendy spots like @blacklistcoffeeroasters to our rotation. Friendly morning service and delish coffee/chai!
After a very long day of errands and doing all the bits you need to do when you move to another country, we needed a taste of home for lunch. We popped in to Viet Hoa around 2pm after the lunch crowd. The service was great and the food came out quick. The broth was up to the Cambodians very high standards and everything was fresh with very big portions. We had the Phở and the Bún thịt nướng. AUD$40 including drinks.
We have finally made it to our new home in Perth and as if by fate the coffee shop down the road from our Airbnb is owned by a Vietnamese couple. The Cambodian got to use his rusty Vietnamese and we sipped on some delish coffees and lusted after their sandwich/croissant/pastry selection (we didn’t have time to eat today but we will be back). They also sell fresh flowers in store. Such a cute Como cafe with a very busy early morning crowd!
Our last meal in NYC at the Australian inspired @banter_nyc for brunch. The service and food is fabulous. Definitely recommend for a laid back brekkie/lunch/brunch. They have a great coffee selection too.
We stopped in for lunch today at the @bistronj in Haddonfield with our family. With this being the almost-end of our time in the USA we wanted to get in a few ‘American style’ meals before heading down under. The bistro food is delicious. The Cambodian got a lamb burger that was sublime. The rest of the table ordered a variety of lunch/brekkie items and all of the food came out fast, hot and beautifully presented.
We had an early dinner at Penang in China Town this evening. The Cambodian has been eating here for years and he was happy to see it survived the pandemic! The service is good and the food is tasty, well priced and arrives fast after ordering. Definitely an ideal place to go with a big group.
