Layover food

[RORO]

Shang Artisan Noodle - Las Vegas, NV.

Holy • this was incredible. They're making the noodles by hand in front of you sit. I'd put the food here at top 3 Chinese restaurants that I've had in the US.

Pictured is Dan Dan Noodles, Spicy Pork Dumplings, Spicy Wontons, and Beef Noodle Soup. All of it was outstanding. The beef noodle soup seemed to be a favorite from the locals but dan dan noodles are my love language so I couldn't see them on a menu and not order them.

Ichiran!

I know it’s the “McDonalds of Ramen” because they’re everywhere, but it was near the hotel and I was rolling solo (my favorite way to roll in Japan because everyone’s a picky eater it seems)

My favorite restaurant in Geneva. Restaurant Les Armures. No fondue this time

Airport restaurant executive: “you know how sandwiches are popular because they’re easy to hold and eat? What if we sold a sandwich but made it not like that?”
Other airport restaurant executive: “first of all, promoted”

Yes dear reader, as best I can tell this is sandwichkabob on an extra long toothpick. Is this some regional variant of sandwich construction of which my sheltered self was previously unaware, or simply the product of a madman jumping the shark in the race to justify charging $18 for a sammich by making it unique?

And yes, I’m eating this abomination on my lap because guppy

I swear the only real reason I ever dislike going to work is the impossibility of easily getting just decent food that isn't completely shameful.

It’s that, and a lack of bidets in hotels that does it for me.

Hopefully it counts since it was on vacation and not a layover.

Last week I was with my girlfriend in Taipei for her dad's birthday. She took me to this noodle soup shop in the Ximending district where I had what was probably the best dumpling soup in my life, in a beef broth (left). She had a pork noodle soup (right) which was also delicious. All dumplings and noodles here are hand made, which makes all the difference.

I really need to visit Taiwan. Whats the condiment in the middle dish at the bottom, btw?

Suan Tsai, translates literally to "sour vegetable". It's basically pickled cabbage, but I've also seen it referred to as Chinese mustard. It's delicious and also one of the traditional toppings to Gua Bao Ruo, which is a little steamed bun filled with braised pork belly that's really popular in Taiwan and a must try.

Indeed!

My first trip to OGG we stayed at the marriott down the street, I had a number of Mai Tai's and those poke tacos.

Let's just say everyone is lucky there wasn't a karaoke bar nearby.

There's a very fine line between "enough alcohol to make Jordan willing to sing karaoke" and "I think he needs to go to the hospital"

Mocha and croissant sandwich in Reno. I wanted to rent a bike and ride around but layover was just too short.

You're just reminding me of the utterly horrific croissant sandwich I had at my commute hotel the other day.
