Food tour in Kuala Lumpur
"I hope you are hungry?" Fadly asked. I was, but suspected I would not be for very much longer. I was completely right. As a service to their guests, Back Home hostel offer different activities. What caught my attention was the food tour. I love to try the local food as I travel and having an expert showing me what to try and where, is my favorite. I instantly signed up! Walking along the busy streets, crossing the roads “the Malaysian way” (holding your hand out in front of the car like the...

Pea Soup Andersen: A California Story
PHeymont's quest for good soup ended in failure, but brought him to an interesting history.
Comment
Re: Pea Soup Andersen: A California Story
Haven't been to Anderson's in years, but we'd often stop here for a break and bowl of soup (and excellent fresh bread) when driving between Los Angeles and the central coast. The soup is good but likely will not live up to its hype, PHeymont. We were once told by our waitress that the record in one sitting was 16 bowls (all you can eat). Now that would produce enough gas to power a fleet of trucks -- but I wouldn't want to share the cab with that driver!
