[Sacramento, CA] - French Po-Boys One

One of my favorite low key places to eat at is French Po-Boys One. Located in Tahoe Park where 65th meets Broadway; the parking is a bit crappy (it has a lot but the spots are tight and it's hard to get back on the road). But, I tell ya, it's worth it. Imagine a poboy in Sacramento that is on par with the poboys in New Orleans. One with freshly made bread. Daily. One that is made to order. And there you have it. French Po-Boys One. 

This small mom and pop shop makes a fantastic poboy and fries to go with it. They used to have combo meals, but now it's all ala carte. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and come by. If shrimp isn't your thing, they have a ton of other options like catfish, soft shelled crab, oysters, and non-seafood fillings. If you aren't into poboys, they also have fried food plates (fried chicken, etc). They even have tornado potatoes (which incidentally were created in Korea!), those long potato curls you normally get at the fair.

In the winter, they have gumbo. Sadly, I just missed it this time around, but I have had it before and it's hearty and oh so good.

Shrimp fried perfectly for my poboy.


These fries man, these fries. So very crispy. I am pretty sure they have their own seasoning on there aside from salt. I could go through two of these fry trays on my own daily if I wouldn't gain a million pounds from it. And in case that isn't good enough, they also have this killer chipotle/sriracha dipping sauce. One per poboy, but you can always buy an extra one.
Little bit of Asian America, and little bit of Louisiana.

Salt and Pepper Wings - not too spicy, but freshly fried. They let you know when you order that it will take around 10-15 minutes. I love that everything is fried fresh here when you order!

Wall menu in case you need pictures. The full menu has prices and you can see it just as you enter.

[Kaohsiung, Taiwan] - 桦達奶茶 Huada Milk Tea (Original Location Only)

Image
If you are a milk tea fan, this is a must go spot. It's one of the oldest tea milk tea shops in Southern Taiwan, and from the looks of it, do everything the same as they always have. This post is only about the original location. They have many other locations around the island, but this was the first. I'm told the other locations aren't that great and some people even told me not to try it. But, I like trying the originals, and I have loved milk tea since the summer of 1992 so no harm in throwing down 30NT for one, right? When I mentioned to the local milk tea shop owner that I was going to Kaohsiung, he said I have to try Huada also, so that was definitely good enough for me! Located close to the Yangchengpu KMRT station and in a smaller road, remember to watch out for those scooters! They have a good variety of drinks, but I ordered the original milk tea. They shake it with ice so it's cold, but probably not cold enough for American standards. This milk tea is d

[Kaohsiung, Taiwan] - 查理布朗咖啡店 | Charlie Brown Café Taiwan

Image
I have been a huge fan of Snoopy for as long as I can remember (which is a long, long time). Having already been to one of the Charlie Brown Cafes in Hong Kong, I figured why not also go to the one in Kaohsiung? If you want to go, it's pretty easy. Kaohsiung has an MRT system like the one in Taipei. Take the red line to the Hanshin Arena KMRT stop and walk up Baoi Road 2nd to Baoi Road 3rd. You should see the Hanshin department store on the left. Just walk a few blocks and you'll see the Charlie Brown Cafe on the left side of the road (same side as the department store) with the cross street of Zhizhen Road. It's pretty hard to miss! If you're lucky, it's not too busy and Snoopy is available to join you for some afternoon coffee, tea, sparkly drinks, and/or snacks. Lemon mix blue curacao/檸檬藍柑氣泡飲 When I went to pay at the counter, I saw that there were these super cute waffles in the shape of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Woodstock. How often

[Taipei, Taiwan] - 富宏牛肉麵/Fuhong Beef Noodles

Image
This is currently my favorite beef noodle restaurant in Taipei. It was on my list for a while (like so many other places, but always so many places and so little time!). So what makes it so special in a city like Taipei? I judge by noodles, broth, and meat. Some people care about the location, cleanliness, and service also, but I'm willing to overlook most of that for a fantastic bowl. Which is exactly what this is, at Fuhong Beef Noodles. Incredibly simple, extremely beefy, and supremely hot and satisfying. For now, this is it for me. Of course, I intend to keep up the search because there are just too many shops there and I think unless I lived in Taipei and had nothing else to do, I wouldn't be able to get to every single beef noodle restaurant! Bowl of beef noodle soup (medium size) with some seaweed and pig ears Accoutrements:  辣牛油 or "spicy butter," 辣椒粉 or special chili sauce, 辣椒醬 another chili sauce, and pickled veggies As soon as I sat down I
