A guide to the 5 best cities around the world that will satisfy your palate
The world has a variety of food to offer and yet, we are still stuck with cereal and lukewarm milk. Here is a list of the 5 world cities that will convince you to abandon your microwave dishes and take your taste buds for a ride:
Here are some of the national and international artists who lost their lives in a car crash:
1. Brisbane
Anyone who has watched MasterChef Australia knows that food is their strength. From Chur Burger, a gourmet burger chain that specializes in beers, spiked milkshakes and sweet potato fries, to Downey Park Food Trucks, an arena full of trucks serving piping hot delicacies, the list of great food places never ends in Brisbane. Get messy with New York fries and finger-licking ribs at Carolina Kitchen in Coorparoo or drink a 1934 zombie punch at the Tiki Bar at Alfred & Constance in Fortitude Valley.
2. Lecce
Italy is dotted with the prettiest of small towns. However, the aesthetics begin to fade when the aromas from cafes and restaurants kick in. Visit Pasticceria Luca Capilungo to taste the best Rustico, a flaky, buttery exterior with a gooey ensemble of tomato, bechemel and mozzarella within. You can also try Pasticciotto, a pie of sorts with a crispy crust and fresh cream inside. From the gourmet food walks to wine tours, Lecce has an impeccable ability to make you want to stay forever.
3. Vienna
When you crave for mouth-watering strudel, the cafes in Vienna will cater to you. Whether it's Palatschinken, Topfenstrudel or Gugelhupf, you name the difficult-to-pronounce dishes and Vienna has it. Cafe Bellaria serves the most delicious Sachertorte, a dense chocolate cake with a meticulously applied layer of jam, a generous dollop of whipped cream and a hint of spice. With vineyard-like decor and food, Gerstners Landhaus captures the savory side of Vienna perfectly by mastering dishes like Schnitzel vom Kalb, a thin cut of meat pan-fried till golden.
4. Muscat
Muscat's culinary traditions offer an interesting blend of Arabian and Indian influences. From Prune Wrapped Beef and Halloumi with herbs to delectable Baba Ghanoush, Homous and Chutney, Ubhar Restaurant makes sure you experience the flavorful spices. However, if you want to try authentic Omani food, visit Bin Ateeq, which serves a variety of biryanis like Qabooli Dijaj, where every grain of rice is full of taste!
5. Daegu
Restricting the food in this Korean city to restaurants would be a crime because the most scrumptious dishes line the streets of Daegu. Visit Seomun Market, which is full of stalls selling the most incredible food enveloped in tantalizing aromas. Also, make sure you try Nabjak Mandoo, or flat dumplings, that are made of dough, crispy onions and soya sauce. For dessert, dig into Hotteok, a variety of filled Korean pancake usually eaten during the winter season. And if you're in the mood to try a range of Korean street food, pay a visit to Anjirang Gopchang Street. All the shops on this street serve Gopchang, cow or pork intestines, and every shop takes immense pride in the fact that they serve it differently than everybody else.
With so many places serving a variety of dishes to choose from, make sure you pack an empty bag and tummy to relish these savories. Also, don't forget to invest in travel insurance since you don't want to be stuck someplace hassled and hungry. Bon Appetit!
