What We Ate on the Trans-Siberian Railway

And thanks, all!

What We Ate on the Trans-Siberian Railway

@Kenji: Lots of good Chongqing chicken in Beijing, thankfully, including the cafeteria of the office of the Sichuan government.

@Lorenzo: Our train was shorter due to the lower demand in winter: it only had first- and second-class carriages.

@phillamb168: If you travel independently, it's not all that expensive. A second-class Moscow-Beijing ticket can be had for around $600 in winter, and a first-class ticket for around twice that.

@Grisha: Quark and tvorog are the same thing.

Oh, the Places We Went! Favorite Foods from Around the World in 2012

Dnyanesh, we actually put a few slideshows of food in India on SE this year. Here's one on vegetarian street food, one on Rajasthani eats, and one on street sweets.

Date Night: Kiwiana, New Zealander Cooking from 'Top Chef's' Marc Simmons

Sorry for the confusion. The dish is called “manuka and marmite braised baby back ribs,” but “manuka honey” is what goes into the braise.

Good Bread: Dean & DeLuca's New Beaujolais Bread is an Autumnal Beauty

Gorgeous photos, Andrew!

The Vegetarian Option: Himalayan Flavors at Mustang Thakali Kitchen in Jackson Heights

A Himalayan thali? Looks (and sounds) great!

Date Night: Cozy Argentinian at Porteño in Chelsea

Thanks, all.

@samanthaalison: interesting point about the salteña.

Date Night: Beyond California Rolls at Momo Sushi Shack in Bushwick

The gyoza are under that shell, forming a sort of spine. And yes, the pork betty does come with a fair amount of soy sauce and sake.

Date Night: Chote Nawab

@simon: Minced lamb, but it did kind of look like a flattened chicken breast.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

An Introduction to Singaporean Food

What a great guide this is, Max --- amazing stuff!

Afternoon Snack: Potato Chips from Mountain Sweet Berry Farm

Yes, definitely. Between these chips and Martin's Pretzels, our junk food needs are just about covered.

Date Night: Anjappar

Thanks -- that was exactly what we did when we were in India last year, and it was wonderful!

Date Night: Convivium Osteria

@KateN: It's a perfect rainy night place. Very cozy.

@parkdope20: The ribeye does sound great. Maybe next time.

Thanks for reading!

Bronx Eats: Celebrating the Cambodian Buddhist New Year at Wat Jotanaram in Bedford Park

Very cool--had no idea. Thanks for posting about this.

Snapshots from India: The Best Vegetarian Street Food

Thanks for reading, everyone -- glad to see so many other Indian street food fans!

Snapshots from India: Street Sweets

Thanks for reading, everyone!

@KarmaFreeCooking: Looks like you've had some great trips. Aamras and ice cream sounds fantastic.

@henry.gomes: Where do you recommend in JH? For sweets in the neighborhood we generally go to Rajbhog or Maharajah, but we're always on the hunt for more.

The Vegetarian Option: Balkanika

@howard, @hunrgy: they were out of the "sexy balls for him" and "sexy bites for her" when we were there recently, sadly.

Get to Know Us: Jessica Allen and Garrett Ziegler, 'Date Night'

@KateN: Thanks so much!

@FromtheFuture: Indeed it is--we were there just a few days ago. The food is as good as ever.

@HW: The gratitude is all ours.

@xbklynh8r: Nope, we didn’t derive any thoughts about her abilities from her appearance. The subject of the verb “belied” is “touch,” so that phrase indicates that her traditional gesture was out of keeping with the casual contemporary style of her clothes. Hope that answers your question, and thanks for reading.
