Om Nom Nomad - Mahane Yehuda Market Street Food

Good morning from winter ~~chilly~~ warm and sunny Jerusalem. Who could imagine such a sun shining on Jerusalem in February. We seized the day (and the weather) and drove east to pay a visit to Mahane Yehuda Market and have a taste of some of the many street food joints in and around the market.

Lokkee is a place full of contradictions. While it might be physically located inside a mall, it is nothing like what you’d expect to see in a mall food court, both in terms of food and decor. It serves favorite Chinese recipes but with a unique and witty play. As befitting an oriental Chinese restaurant, red is a dominant color here, but the walls are covered with pop art pieces in Chinese style and statues with a statement. It’s a family restaurant but the “extra moist” wet tissue was served at the beginning of the dinner in a condom-like package.

Om Nom Nomad - Giant Snack Haul from Budapest - Part 2

We just got back from a 5-days trip to Budapest, and guess what we staffed our suitcase with? You got that right, lots and lots of snacks and goodies.

We already shared the first 8 snacks we tried here – Giant Snack Haul from Budapest [Part 1], and now it’s time for the next 10!

(Disclaimer: Not all items are 100% Hungarian, but all were collected from stores in Budapest and some are indeed made in Hungary)

Scavenging through Instagram to build my foodie itinerary for Singapore I came across many pictures of a rubber ducky. Oddly enough – this wasn’t the case of mis-hashtagging we all often bump into in Instagram. Rather, this was an actual edible rubber ducky! Turns out this is one of the signature desserts at Non Entrée Desserts.

Let’s get to tasting with the first 8 items. The other 21 will follow in the next couple of weeks, so keep some room in your belly 😉

Timbre+ is a 24,00 sq.ft modern hawker hosted in a graffiti-covered container park. It has live music concerts, many different food trucks and restaurants, alcohol and lively hip atmosphere. There’s one thing it’s sorely missing though: air conditioning. The place is packed full of people, all of them sweating, and those include yours truly. I’m sorry for the graphic picture, but I would be having hard time enjoying even the most ambrosial food on earth when sitting in a pool of my own sweat.

I love a good burger, who doesn’t? That’s why I’m always on the lookout for great burger joints. Some prefer to keep it classic – bun, patty, lettuce, tomato and onion. Not me. I love my burger topped with much more – and then some (and maybe even stuffed with extra things). The more creative and over-the-top it is, the better. Prozdor do not disappoint when it comes to surprising and wacky creations.
