About me
A picture taking, weirdo nomster that likes to.. eat all the things...
I feel like there are two types of people in this world, noodle people and rice people.
I am by far an uber noodle lover. Italian noodles sit pretty high on my list but my favorite by a long shot are Asian ones, especially when home made.
I know that many like to drench their dishes with sauces and ingredients but as a noodle enthusiast and purist, I like the dominant ingredient to be noodles and I like to taste and experience the texture of it.
It's appalling to me when I see Chow Mien with an abundance of carrots, celery and bean sprouts in it.
Everytime I travel, there are certain benchmark foods that I like to try in every city and Asian food is always a must! We hunted through yelp and when we saw a photo of a man hand making noodles, using a stretch technique, we were on a train then water taxi to Chinatown.
The noodles were über yum, the green onion pancakes were perfectly flaky and fluffy and the shao long Bao soup dumplings were just ordinary ok.
It was definitely a weird fusion restaurant that served sushi and bubble tea, which usually leaves me skeptical, but what we came for was satisfying and good!
I have about 300 photos to sort through and Chicago was a blast. Amazing food, beautiful sights and wonderful energy.
