Anjappar — located at Lexington Ave. & E. 28th St in Manhattan’s “Curry Hill” I have long been a fan of Chettinad food ever since I ate at the Anjappar Restaurant in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Yes, Anjappar is a chain, that happens to have locations all over the world–including the Middle East, U.S., Canada, Singapore and Malaysia. They finally made ...
Moqueca de Peixe Ok, Brasil is not in Asia–I am aware of this–but sometimes, you have to step out of the box and give credit to a dish that deserves it. That said, while in Brasil, one of the best dishes I ate was Moqueca de Peixe, a kind of fish stew made with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and coconut milk ...

parippu with spinach, basmathi rice, katta sambol, and mango chutney No Sri Lankan meal would be complete without these high-protein legumes, also called dahl, which soak up the flavors of coconut milk, lemongrass and cinnamon. Smooth and creamy, they comprise a perfect protein when eaten with rice. You can vary the consistency of the lentils from thick as oatmeal to ...

Bakakak Hayam comes from the Sundanese people of West Java. Sundanese cuisine apparently ranks as one of the most popular regional cuisines in Indonesia, which was once known as the Spice Islands. There are some great flavors in this dish–including galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and coconut milk–and I love the fact that it starts out like a curry, but ...

Skiz’s Original Sri Lankan Roasted Curry Powder available at Foodoro.com Once upon a time in America, going off the eaten path meant Chinese food—that is, if you were lucky enough to have a Chinese restaurant near you. Today, according to the trade publication, Chinese Restaurant News, Chinese restaurants outnumber McDonald’s franchises by nearly 3 to 1. This news hardly comes ...

Pachamama, the fertility god of the indigenous people of the Andes As I often judge a place by its street food, I was pleased to find Cusco with a vibrant tradition of the latter. In addition to anticucho, grilled beef heart on a stick served with a potato; and chicharrones, fried pork rinds, which surprisingly boasted a greater ratio of meat to fat; ...
Machu Picchu as seen from Huayna Picchu The ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, located high up in the Andes Mountains, has long been on my list of “must see” places on the planet, and I was finally able to fulfill this dream this past March, climbing both Machu Picchu and the lesser known Huayna Picchu (the rounded peak in the ...
I’m a huge fan of Caribbean food. Give me some jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtails, escoveitch fish, or roti any day, and I’ll be happy. I love caribbean spices such as allspice, thyme, and scotch bonnet (habanero) peppers, and I love the bold flavors. There’s a great snack from Trinidad called “Doubles,” which is two pieces of fried dough ...
La Canta Rana -- currently undergoing renovations When traveling, it is sometimes advisable to go by the guidebook and follow other peoples’ recommendations, while at other times, it is best to throw the book out the window, and follow your own instincts. I much prefer the latter because it gives you a sense of discovery and makes you feel like ...
Just got back from a trip to Peru, fulfilling a long-time dream of visiting the amazing site of Machu Picchu, but I also had a chance to spend a few days in Lima, and sample some fabulous food. This coastal capital is known for its fresh seafood, especially the ceviche, a dish of raw fish ‘cooked’ in citrus, cilantro ...

Combining elements of Japanese and Chinese cuisine, this delicious dish is an example of true “Pan Asian” fusion. In addition to being so quick and simple to prepare, the dish also boasts many health benefits. It’s supposed to be good for anyone with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, prostatitis, menopausal symptoms, or the desire to improve his/her complexion. ...
I love walking down some dingy alley and stumbling into a hole in the wall like Yarl Hotel. This is the real deal folks, not something you’ll find in a guidebook. You won’t find Foodies here either, but real people looking for real food to fill them up for a day of hard work. My cousin Sam and his ...
