the good people over at Jaunted are starting a new series called “Food Worth Flying For”<\/a> highlighting foods they are willing to fly around the world for.<\/p>\n

i don’t think i can choose just one — in fact, i know i can’t. this is more than my “favorite foods from around the world” list — rather, they’re foods that try as i might, i can’t get the same quality-wise at a local restaurant (even in the great melting pot state of California), or just can’t be replicated at home.<\/p>\n

in no particular order:<\/p>\n

laksa from penang, malaysia<\/h3>\n

i forgot how i found this place<\/a>, but i’m thinking foursquare. as it turns out it was on No Reservations<\/em>! so good. i don’t normally like spicy food but there’s SO MUCH going on in this bowl of noodles. it’s absolute magic. Penang laksa<\/a> is a type of asam laksa, which is different from the laksa you get in Singapore. oh that broth! it’s a mackerel base with tamarind (“asam”) and lemongrass and galangal. such intense flavors. i’m drooling just thinking about it.<\/p>\n
