Asian Cakes: Dispatches from afar
The whole time that cakehead has been blogging away, a large team of dirt dogs have been working around the clock to dig a hole to China - well really there were several different tunnels - one to Beijing, another to Hong Kong, one to Hanoi and a final one to Ho Chi Minh. The motivation? To have a quick and easy route to sample some of the best food in the world. (Additional tunnels to Thailand and Laos were schedule at a later date.)
Unfortunately, due to a labor strike, the digging has been halted. So instead of providing our readers with a direct route to one of our preferred lands to dine, we'll instead be running the written dispatches by our dependable contributor, Amy, who will report on the dining experiences in Hong Kong and throughout Vietnam and Cambodia.
Until she arrives at her destination on March 1 check out these other food blog reports from the region:
Hong Kong
Cha Xiu Bao A food blog site run by Josh who describes himself as like chaxiubao, a staple in the Hong Kong dim sum tray. At first glance, he looks untempting and plain; not something alluring at all. There're even some not so fine wrinkles developing around his eyes. But once you get to know more about this guy, you'll find out he's hot, juicy and frisky inside... just like a well-prepared chaxiubao.
Saigon
Noodlepie Blog about scoff and swill in Saigon. From gutter grub to gourmet tables
Laos
Wrapped In Dough's dispatches from last year's travels through Laos
