Episode 9: Best & Worst

- What was your best and worst food experience?

Best

I had so much good food on the trip that it's hard to say only one place. I was sort of eating myself around the world. Anyway, here's my Top 5:

- The world's best lobster soup at 'Saegreifinn' Reykjavik, Iceland Go!
- Sushi at the casual 'Stand up Sushi Bar' in Tokyo next to the big crossing Go!
- The tuna burger (and the sushi!) at 'Hanalei Dolphin' in Hanalai Bay, Kauai Go!
- Breakfast at 'Chedi Hotel and Spa' in Chiang Mai Go!
- The afternoon tea at the 1911 at 'Imperial Hotel' New Delhi, India Go!

Worst

Not always, but sometimes air plane food sucks. Luft Hansa is the worst - whatever you do, bring your own food on the plane or eat before. You get a piece of dry bread with some old ham at the most. When I went from Frankfurt to Stockholm on Lufthansa my neighbour ordered a gin and tonic. He got the gin in two mini plastic bags (!) and a room tempered tonic with no ice. When he asked for ice the stewardess said 'No, it melts on the plane' (duh!). When he mentioned that other airlines keep their ice in a fridge and asked for an extra tonic water to compensate the lukewarm drink, she charged 3 extra € for the tonic. He was about to explode...

I think eating different foods must be one of the best things about travelling.

True about plane food, worst I had was when I flew from Barbados to Heathrow with BWIA- it actually- (I say it- as I havent a clue what it actually was, but resembled some spicy mush with rice :/)was so bad that I was nearly sick, weird thing was I flew with BWIA going to Barbados and it was one of the nicest meals I have had on a plane- so that it was so bad on the return flight dissappointed me- still BWIA doesnt exist anymore(since 2006) so I wont have to go through that again.

Yeah, it's funny going to a place like starbucks, because it's not the same even when you expect it to be the same all over the world. Usually I avoid these kind of places though.
