Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) at Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎)
When I was in Tokyo I got to eat okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) at a restaurant known as Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎). More details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/03/tokyo-travel-guide-for-food-lovers/ Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is sort of a craze food in Japan; It is that's very common to eat along with beer, but at the same time it's a favorite for the kids as well. I have to first admit, that I'm not a huge fan of pancakes - I'm much more of a rice kind of guy - I've never really liked pancakes all that much in my life. But when I was in Tokyo, I needed to eat okonomiyaki. I had seen it outside of Japan many times before, but I had never tried it myself. Located very close to the hotel I was staying at Tokyo, I found a restaurant known as Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎). We arrived a little bit early before they opened for lunch, and there were already a couple of people waiting outside to get in. So of course that's a good sign for restaurant from the beginning. First of all Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎), is just an awesome looking restaurant. From the outside it looked like a crumbling shack, and there was an orange tree that covered half of the roof. Walk inside and it feels like you're entering into a hut, but the restaurant opens up, and has an extremely warm and friendly feel to it. I loved the wood floors and the beautiful antiques that were decorated throughout the restaurant. The staff are also extremely friendly and happy to see us in the the restaurant sampling their delicacies. There were a number of different pancakes styles on the menu, and we chose the house specialty, which was called something like asonomiyaki (not sure exactly), and then we also went for the classic okonomiyaki (お好み焼き). The asonomiyaki was a combination of pancake batter, mixed with cabbage, some pieces of seafood like bits of octopus, a few assorted other vegetables, and noodles. Everything was fried on a hot skillet in front of us, and assembled into a pancake like round shape. One thing you have to love about eating okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) in Japan, is how it's cooked right in front of you, so that you can enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant while you eat. Once both of the savory pancakes were cooked, the waitress first helped us to cut it, like a pizza, into four slices. She then proceeded to decorate it by squeezing on some mayonnaise, adding some sauce that was like a light teriyaki sauce with worcestershire sauce, and finally sprinkled on some seaweed flakes on to the top. You can you can think of okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) just as a savory pancake, fried battered that's mixed with an assortment of vegetables, some pieces of seafood, and some noodles mixed in. It's a mishmash of both ingredients, and probably cooking techniques and styles of a number of different cultures as well. Overall okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is good and tasty, and Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎) was an absolutely awesome restaurant, but I'm not a huge fan of the dish. To me it sort of lacks spice. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all, in fact it was very good, but I'm just more of a guy who loves to eat things like rice and curry, or sashimi - something with a bit more protein and meat. Okonomiyaki was sort of like eating a fresh bag of potato chips, kind of junk food tasting. That was my first experience in Japan to eat okonomiyaki (お好み焼き), and more than the food, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the experience of dining at Sometaro Okonomiyaki (染太郎). Open hours: 12 noon -- 10:30 pm daily Address: 2-2-2 Nishiasakusa, Taitō, Tokyo 〒111-0035, Japan (http://www.sometaro.com/) Price: Not bad prices here, we had two okonomiyakis for around 1,400 JPY ($13.78) Music in this video courtesy of Audio Network Get my free street food guide: http://wp.me/Psd9b-4pl My premium food guides: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/guides/ T-shirts: http://migrationology.spreadshirt.com/ Eater at: http://migrationology.com/blog & http://www.eatingthaifood.com/blog/ Thank you for watching, and don't forget to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=migrationology- published: 21 May 2014

Eating Japanese Yakitori on Tokyo's Memory Lane (Piss Alley)
Eating Japanese Yakitori on Tokyo's Memory Lane (Piss Alley)
Memory Lane (or Piss Alley as it's commonly known), is one of the most famous old skool places in Tokyo to eat yakitori. Get all the details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/04/japanese-yakitori-memory-lane-piss-alley/ Along with sushi and sashimi, yakitori is one of the most famous foods to eat in Japan. Now although this normally refers to skewers of chicken chicken, these days it can pretty much refer to any kind of meat that's served on a skewer and grilled. Skewers of yakitori are very common to eat at Japanese izakayas, or local pubs. They go particularly well with a beer or sake. When I was in Tokyo, I actually didn't even have plans to visit Memory Lane (Piss Alley) - but I just happened to be walking around the Shinjuku area of Tokyo during the evening, and actually just bumped into the small alley. It wasn't until later when I researched, that I realized where I had gone. So this small street is really famous, and you can probably guess by its former name or nickname, that it used to be a place where many people would drink a few too many beverages, and have to relieve themselves right in the middle of the lane. That is however not so much the case anymore, at least I didn't see anyone! But anyway, there are a bunch of different bars to choose from when you go to Tokyo's Memory Lane. There are some really famous places, that serve unique delicacies, but I just chose one that looked pretty friendly, and the restaurant had two open seats for us - if you go in the evening it can actually be tough to even find a place to sit down - so you might just want to grab seats if you see them. The place I chose was located pretty close to the main Shinjuku side of the entrance of the street, but I'm not sure what the name was as it was only in Japanese. You can either order your yakitori skewers one by one, or they also had a tasting menu where you got a mix of five different skewers of yakitori, and then you can choose either the sauce version or the dry version. We could not decide so we decided to get one of each. Our five skewers of yakitori, included a couple of different types of chicken and a couple skewers of pork as well. The skewers on my plate included: tsukune (つくね) - chicken meatballs, tebasaki (手羽先) - chicken wing, toriniku - all white meat on skewer, leek wrapped in slices of bacon, and pork belly with leek. All of these skewers were grilled over a hot fire, with a little bit of a flame, so the meat had a slight charred outside giving it a nice smokey flavor. The best part about eating yakitori in Japan, is that they never overcook the meat. These skewers were cooked just so they were done, but so they were still extremely juicy on the inside and delicious. Sauce version, included the sticks of yakitori smothered in light sweet teriyaki like sauce. The dry version was just lightly seasoned with salt and little else. I have to say that the sauce version was definitely my choice, hit the spot. In Japanese it's also known as Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) -- Tokyo. How to get there: This yakitori lane is right next to Shinjuku station in Tokyo, which happens to be the largest in the city, so you can't miss it, but it can be a bit confusing. Take Shinjuku West Exit and then look for the lane which is marked by a green sign.

Monster 1.1 kg Lobster in Hua Hin, Thailand at Lung Ja Seafood Restaurant (ร้านลุงจ่า)
Monster 1.1 kg Lobster in Hua Hin, Thailand at Lung Ja Seafood Restaurant (ร้านลุงจ่า)
The last time we visited Hua Hin, Thailand, I had no intention to eat a lobster. But then it happened, and I couldn't resist. Click here for the details - http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2013/08/lung-ja-seafood-lobster-hua-hin-night-market/ There's a street in Hua Hin, that at night, turns into a night market. There are all sorts of the usual vendors that sell t-shirts and jewelry, and little snacks to nibble on.... and then, there are the epic seafood vendor that try to lure you in for a lobster, monstrous prawns, fish, and everything else delicious from the sea. So with no intention of actually eating a lobster on this fine evening in Hua Hin, we got sucked and I felt the irresistible pull to order a monstrous 1.1 kg lobster - but I wasn't complaining! Has that ever happened to you? Anyway, we sat down at Lung Ja Seafood Restaurant (ร้านลุงจ่า), a restaurant I would recommend as one of the top restaurants in Hua Hin. It's located right along the street within the Hua Hin night market, and they have a nice selection of seafood and some very nice staff as well. We chose our lobster with precision and then it to the table to wait as they prepared it. The lobster is first blanched before being tossed on the grill. The chef had informed us that that is the way to cook it for maximum flavor and to ensure the lobster isn't rubbery, but rather soft and tender and juicy. Along with out monster 1.1 kg lobster in Hua Hin, Lung Ja Seafood Restaurant (ร้านลุงจ่า) also served an award winning plate of fried morning glory vegetable and a wonderful plate of khao pad boo (crab fried rice). Both of the sides dishes were excellent, but they were dwarfed by my anticipation of the lobster. The lobster arrived on a massive plate, covered in a number of different sauces. Order again, and I would have gotten it with the sauces on the side, to be able to really taste the unique flavor the the lobster, but that being said, the sauces were pretty good and didn't overpower the meaty flesh. Here's the link so you can eat here too: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2013/08/lung-ja-seafood-lobster-hua-hin-night-market/ Lung Ja Seafood (ร้านลุงจ่า) Address: 103/4-5 Hua Hin Night Market Soi.

Zanzibar Pizza - Who invented this ridiculous combo?
Zanzibar Pizza - Who invented this ridiculous combo?
One thing you should try in Stone Town, is a Zanzibar pizza, available at the Forodhani Gardens. Get my free street food guide here: http://wp.me/Psd9b-4pl Every night starting in the late afternoon, the Forodhani Gardens in the center of Stone Town, Zanzibar, turns into a street food hawker center. There are quite a few things available to eat, some of them look alright, while others could be better. But one of the most famous things to eat at this market, is the invention of a Zanzibar pizza... yah, it's not exactly a traditional food.. and I'm wondering who invented this pretty ridiculous street food concoction! So there are actually quite a few vendors that make Zanzibar pizza at Forodhani Gardens, and it's all pretty much the same and costs the same amount, so basically just choose a vendor, and then choose what type of filling you want. I decided to go for a chicken Zanzibar pizza. First they take a ball of dough and flatten it out kind of like a thin roti. Then they add another layer of dough, this one a bit thicker and sort of already half cooked and greasy. Then go in all the random ingredients like onions, peppers, and then that scoop of happy cow cheese, a dollop of mayonnaise, and finally a egg plopped right in the middle to finish things off. The ingredients are all mixed together, folded up into a pocket and fried in vegetable ghee until it's cooked all the way through and golden on the outside. The Zanzibar pizza is then sliced into bite sized pieces and served with tomato sauce on the side. I have to be honest and say that a Zanzibar pizza is not my favorite thing in the world. Sure it's pretty tasty, but that processed cheese paired with a spoon of mayonnaise just doesn't appeal too much for me. But that being said, it is something everyone should try once for yourself, more about the experience than about the taste or quality of the food! So when you're in Stone Town, be sure to sample a Zanzibar pizza at the Forodhani Gardens.

Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे) - Mouthwatering Chickpeas and Deep Fried Bread at Sita Ram Diwan Chand
Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे) - Mouthwatering Chickpeas and Deep Fried Bread at Sita Ram Diwan Chand
Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे) is one of the most popular street foods in Delhi, India. Check out my Delhi travel guide - http://migrationology.com/delhi-travel-guide-ebook/ As soon as I arrived to Delhi, India, I immediately noticed Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे also called chana bhatura), and after having my very first bite and meal of the dish, I knew that I was in love. Chole (छोले) is the name used for a spicy chick peas stew or curry. It's slow simmers so the chick peas are soft, yet still retain some of their texture, mixed with plenty of ghee, and then the perfect amount of masala spices are added to make it extremely flavorful. A bhature (भटूरे) is the other part of chole bhature, it's the deep fried bread, or a poori (puri) to be exact that the spicy chick peas are eaten with. So when I was in Delhi, India, I enjoyed this dish at many different locations, but on one of my last few days in the city I decided to check out a famous establishment known as Sita Ram Diwan Chand. Located in Paharganj, near the New Delhi railway station and the popular backpacker budget accommodation section of the city, it wasn't hard to locate. Also, the sign is bright red on the outside so it's quite easy to spot when you're walking through Delhi. As soon as I stepped foot into Sita Ram Diwan Chand, I was immediately overwhelmed by the glorious aroma coming from their Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे). It was incredible and I honestly couldn't wait to eat. They are massively popular with local Delhi residents. Many customers come to Sita Ram Diwan Chand with huge takeaway order and they restaurants also packaged their food up to deliver to offices during the lunchtime hours. Luckily we arrived before it was too busy and crowded and I ordered just the classic. Now one thing that is different at this restaurant is that the bhature is not puffy like a pillow like it is on most of the street food stalls in Delhi. Instead it's more flat like a chapati, but the poori is stuffed with bits of paneer cheese and spice to make it even more mouthwatering delicious! My plate of Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे) took just a few seconds to whip up. The vendor grabbed a fresh scoop of the spicy slow stewed chickpeas from the center of the pan. The thick gravy like chickpeas were oozing with flavor. The other cook heated up a could of bhatures to complete my dish. After receiving and paying you then find a table which are all standing tables and dig in. The great thing was that there were garnished like pickles and chilies on every table that went extremely well with the dish. I had Chole Bhature (छोले भटूरे) a number of times when I was in Delhi, and this was by far the best and tastiest version I had. It was actually luscious, so creamy and rich that it melted in my mouth and the deep fried bread was so flavorful from the spices, coriander, and paneer cheese. The combination was spectacular. This was a completely vegetarian meal, but it sure was packed with calories! Sita Ram Diwan Chand What to eat: There's really only one thing to eat here: chole bhature (they also call it chana bhatura) which costs an affordable 30 INR ($0.56) and you'll LOVE it! How to get there: The restaurant is located in Paharganj (Main Baazar, the budget backpacker area) which is just west of New Delhi Railroad station and Metro Station. From the Main Bazar road (Baba Namdev Marg), walk to Rajguru Marg T-intersection. Head north, and walk straight for about 200 meters or so. You'll see the red sign for Sita Ram Diwan Chand on your left hand side.

Eating Tempura (天ぷら) at Tenmatsu Restaurant, Tokyo
Eating Tempura (天ぷら) at Tenmatsu Restaurant, Tokyo
Tenmatsu Restaurant, Nihonbashi branch, in Tokyo, Japan, serves amazing Japanese tempura. Go for the lunch special! When I was in Tokyo, I attempted to eat as much Japanese food as I possibly could, in the amount of time that I had. Along with sushi and sashimi, another popular Japanese dish is known as tempura. Now let me tell you that I had eaten tempura many many times before ever going to Japan - but I have to say, this meal changed my view for the better about real tempura - no longer will soggy deep-fried shrimp ever satisfy me again. This tempura meal I've had in Tokyo raised the bar for me and it was absolutely delicious. So I was recommended by my friend over at Food Sake Tokyo (http://foodsaketokyo.com/), to check out a restaurant in Tokyo known as Tenmatsu. Now there are a couple of different branches of this restaurant in Tokyo, and I think the main branch is actually in Shibuya and might be more expensive than this location. But the branch I went to was located in the Nihonbashi area of Tokyo, a real business and historical area of town. One thing you have to get used to about Tokyo, is showing up early for lunch - because during the lunch rush, it can be challenging to actually find a seat. I've never been to a city where there is so much lining up for food. Literally almost every restaurant you visit, you've got to wait in line to get in. So anyway, being the food crazy person that I am, when I was in Tokyo I made sure to arrive at all restaurants for lunch as soon as they would open, and sometimes even 15 or 30 minutes before they would open. So we got to Tenmatsu early, and luckily we were first in line. And right after we got in line about 10 other people joined us. As soon as the doors opened for lunch we walked in the front door at Tenmatsu and the menu was at the reception. So I had to make my lunch order quickly, and decide what I wanted to order. So you first order at the reception and pay at the same time up front, and then you walk in and choose a seat. Being first in the restaurant, we set down at the tempura bar seating so that we could see the chef as well as eating our meal. Sitting at the bar is actually one of the most awesome things about eating Japanese food in Japan. At Tenmatsu restaurant, I decided to order the combination of fresh tempura paired with a bowl of sashimi over rice known as a Maguro zuke Don(まぐろずけ丼). I could not have been happier with my meal choice, it was absolutely a sensational combination. As soon as we got in the restaurant and took our seats, the chef began to whip up his incredible tempura creations. Since we were first in the restaurant we were served first, and he personally served us onto our plates on the bar. One of the best things about Japanese food is how fresh everything is served - nothing sits around for too long. The tempura at Tenmatsu was absolutely amazing, the batter was light, and crispy, and it was not even oily at all - meaning probably that it was deep-fried in exactly the right temperature. The bowl of sashimi over rice was also extremely delicious. The red tuna was incredibly buttery soft, and just had amazing flavor to it. Paired with hot fresh rice and sprinkled with seaweed and sesame seeds it was absolutely sensational. I had an amazing dining experience at Tenmatsu Restaurant in Tokyo Japan, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a delicious tempura experience that won't break the bank when you're in Tokyo, Japan. How to get to Tenmatsu Tempura, Nihonbashi, Tokyo: Take the Tokyo Metro to Mitsashae-mai station, exit at B6, and make an immediate right turn around the corner. Tenmatsu Restaurant will be on your right hand side. Address: 1-8-2 Muromachi, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Price - 1,260 Yen (about $12) Music in this video courtesy of Audio Network Tokyo Travel Guide for Food Lovers: http://migrationology.com/2014/03/tokyo-travel-guide-for-food-lovers/ Get my FREE street food guide: http://wp.me/Psd9b-4pl Bangkok 101 Guide: http://migrationology.com/ebook-101-things-to-do-in-bangkok/ Eating Thai Food Guide: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/eating-thai-food-guide/ Follow my adventures on http://migrationology.com/blog & http://www.eatingthaifood.com/blog/ Thank you so much for watching this food and travel video by Mark Wiens.

Sundubu jiggae (재동순두부) - Korea's ultimate comfort food!
Read the full article about this marvelous Sundubu Jiggae (재동순두부) right here: http://migrationology.com/2013/12/sundubu-jiggae-is-this-the-worlds-most-comforting-comfort-food/ Flying on my way from Bangkok to Hawaii on Korean Air, I had a 10 hour layover. Now at first I wanted to just sit back in a chair at the airport for my layover in Seoul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-zrjBpKGiI) and use the fast wi-fi to get some work done. But as I thought more about the food, I couldn't help myself from, not just the want, but the need to take a trip into Seoul with the intention of eating. Something I was really looking forward to, that I had been itching to eat, was a dish known as Sundubu Jiggae (재동순두부) - a dish I think is one of the world's most comforting comfort foods. So as soon as landing at the Seoul airport, we headed to the subway station, and took the train all the way into Seoul station, before navigating our way through the hectic Seoul transit system and exiting at Anguk station and Exit #2 (more directions towards the bottom). It took a few minutes, but we eventually found our lunch time destination: Jaedong Sundubu (재동순두부) - a restaurant renowned for serving this wonderful comfort food. Just by chance, we arrived right during lunchtime, or on the tail end of lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed out. We had to wait for a table, which luckily only took about 15 minutes. What is Sundubu Jiggae (재동순두부)? It's a Korean dish that's made from tofu, but it's not any kind of boring tofu, it's sundubu, a tofu that's outrageously soft and and it's un-curdled. I'm not exactly sure what that means and how it's made, but one thing I can tell you is that the tofu is so incredibly soft, it's like baby food. The tofu is cooked in a broth made from red chili and red chili oil and then there are bits of seafood and an egg plopped into the middle. Sundubu Jiggae (재동순두부) is served in one of those awesome Korean earthenware bowls that keep hot and piping throughout your meal. It was a cold day on the day I had my layover in Seoul, and I needed something warm... because my jacket was far inadequate for the coldness! I knew I was going to love the food Jaedong Sundubu (재동순두부) as I was waiting to be seated, I could just smell and feel that the food was going to be awesome. Another great thing at the restaurant is that you can dish yourself as much kimchi and other side banchan dishes as you like - so believe me - I took full advantage of the kimchi bar by scooping up quite a few rounds of kimchi. The Sundubu Jiggae (재동순두부) arrived piping hot to my table, and it was everything I had hoped for - so soft and spicy and flavorful, and along with the rice, it was amazing! If you're in Seoul, you should definitely check out this restaurant, the tofu soup is outstanding. To get there take the subway to Anguk station, Exit #2, then go straight less than 100 meters until you see the blue sign for Bukchon-ro 2-gil, then make a right into the small alley way and walk about 20 meters and you'll see the sign for the restaurant - but beware that the sign in only in Korean.

Borough Market in London - What You Should Eat
Borough Market in London - What You Should Eat
Borough Market is one of the most famous and renowned fresh markets in London. Get all information here: http://migrationology.com/2014/05/borough-market-london/ There are many famous things to do in London, but if you're a food lover like I am, one of the best choices you can make it to take a trip to the historical Borough Market. The market is one of the most well-known in all of London. The history goes way back, and it was formerly a place where people came and gathered to trade and sell their fresh produce. For many years it was very informal and without structure. But the official Borough Market was established in 1885, the place that we can visit today. We were only in London for a couple of days, attending the Chowzter.com food awards (http://chowzter.com/), and one thing I knew we needed to do, was visit Borough Market with an empty stomach. It was Friday morning at about 10 AM when we decided to go - and I think it was just about a perfect time - because many of the vendors were just opening up, and the market wasn't as packed as it could be. The best things to do as soon as you arrive to Borough Market is to take a leisurely stroll around and see what is available for you to eat - there are too many things to eat in one visit, so it's important that you choose wisely, and decide what you want to eat. Some of the most famous things include the salt beef sandwich, the grilled cheese sandwich, the duck confit sandwich, chorizo, and many other delicious things. But along with cooked food, there's also a range of cured meats, and wonderful cheeses. I also really enjoyed the fresh produce, which included a nice variety of mushrooms and beautiful heirloom tomatoes. But anyway let's get back to the food, and I'm talking about the food ready to be eaten. As soon as I arrived I saw a stack of cheese and olive bread-sticks which were piled high like a pyramid. That was my first treat. The long bread-stick was crusty and embedded with salty cheese and delicious olives. While walking around, in the back part Borough Market, we decided to try a Portuguese egg tart. It was good but I thought it could've been better if it was a little warmer. Next up we tried a sausage on a stick from a place called Boston Sausage. I added a bunch of English mustard to it, and I think that's what made it so good. If you want to drink coffee, when you visit London's Borough Market you cannot miss the famous Monmouth coffee shop. It can be quite busy and hard to find a seat, so we decided just to get takeaway coffee, as I really needed something to wake me up and keep me energized to eat more. My little shot of macchiato was fantastic. Back to the food, we went to a place called Brindisa and ordered up one of their famous chorizo sandwiches. The chorizo was very tasty, and had a nice spicy flavor to it, but I thought the bread was way too big for the amount of meat. If I ordered it again, I would for sure get the double chorizo. Finally for my last sandwich at Borough Market, I went with the famous duck confit sandwich. You'll see the incredible pan of duck confit when you visit the market, and if you're like me, it should entice you to eat it immediately. When you order, the vendor fills up a bunch of duck into a ciabatta roll. The duck was incredibly tender, juicy, and oily, and it was amazingly tasty. That just about wrapped up everything I ate at Borough Market in London. There were still many more things I wanted to try, but like I said, it would be a near impossible feat to eat everything in one visit to the market. If you want to eat and you're in London, this is one of the best places to visit. Visit Borough Market information: Open for lunch on Monday -- Tuesday from 11 am -- 5 pm Full market is open on Wednesday -- Thursday from 11 am -- 5 pm, Friday from 10 am -- 6 pm, and Saturday from 8 am -- 5 pm (closed on Sunday) Prices: It would not be hard to spend 20 GBP per person eating here Website: http://boroughmarket.org.uk/ How to get to there: I think the easiest way is to take the London underground tube to London Bridge Station and then just follow the exit signs that will lead directly to Borough Market.

Huli Huli Chicken at Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken in Haleiwa, Hawaii
Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken roasts some tasty huli huli chicken in Haleiwa, Hawaii. When you visit Haleiwa, Hawaii, there are some great choices for places to eat - there are some nicer high-end dining restaurants - but the places that serve the best food are usually the small hole in the wall spots. Though it only happens on the weekends Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken, is one of the best places in town, or even on the island of Oahu, to eat the Hawaiian style grilled chicken known as huli huli chicken. On Saturday and Sunday, in the parking lot of the main Malama supermarket in Haleiwa, Ray's sets up its grilling production. The grill is probably one of the most amazing grills you'll ever see in your entire life - they literally took an entire truck trailer - and I'm talking the construction sized trailer - and turned it into a massive rotisserie chicken grill. They can literally cook, or shall I say roast, on entire flock of chickens at one time. For food lovers like you and I, their grill is like a trophy of culinary triumph. Anyway let me get back to the huli huli chicken. To the chicken is first marinated in a combination of pineapple juice, soy sauce, sugar, and some other ingredients and seasonings. This marinade gives the chicken an amazing flavor, that's not actually too strong, but just subtle, sweet and sour, and of course nice and salty from that soy sauce. When you arrive to Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken, there's usually a continuous line, but since most people take away, and since the menu is so concise, the line usually moves very quickly. You really only have a couple of choices of what to eat, you can get a full huli huli chicken, a chopped huli huli chicken, the special sauce, and their pineapple coleslaw. Of course there's rice also available. I decided to go for the whole chicken, and chopped so that we could eat it immediately, and also a side of the special sauce and pineapple coleslaw. I was actually going to eat right then and there, but unfortunately there were no seats, so I decided to jump back in the car and head to the beach. That chicken smelled amazing. Kiawe is actually the Hawaiian word for mesquite wood - the chicken is roasted in the fragrant coals and smoke of mesquite - another dimension of flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection, it was nice and juicy, and a bit oily, but it wasn't overcooked. The meat was incredibly flavorful and so juicy even the white meat. The special sauce tasted mostly like a combination of soy sauce and a hint of vinegar. That salty and sour flavor on pieces of chicken made it really tasty. Overall Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken serve some delicious huli huli chicken, and if you happen to be in Haleiwa, Hawaii, on the weekend, it's worth grabbing a chicken or two for the beach.

Tokyo Street Food Ramen at Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上)
Tokyo Street Food Ramen at Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上)
Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) serves satisfying Japanese street food ramen in Tokyo. Get more details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/05/chuka-soba-inoue-street-ramen-tokyo/ A bowl of Ramen, is one of the most popular things to eat in Japan. It's not only soothing and satisfying, but it's also filling, extremely tasty, and often times one of the most affordable meals in Japan. In Tokyo, you'll find a restaurant that serves ramen at nearly every corner - in fact you can't even walk more than a few meters without bumping into another ramen restaurant. I ate a number of different types of ramen while I was in Tokyo, but the one that stood out to me the most, was the long-standing street food stall just outside of the Tsukiji market, known as Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上). Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) has been around for a long time, and I think it's safe to say that they have served thousands and thousands of bowls of delicious ramen to hungry passerby's. The restaurant is located on the side of the sidewalk, where there's a continual flow of pedestrian traffic all day long - the position is great. Starting from early in the morning Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) has a line of people waiting to be served, but luckily it usually goes very fast as people slurp down their bowls of ramen as fast as possible and continue on. Street food in Japan it's not actually very common - much of the food is served from restaurants - so Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) was one of the few street food restaurants that I ate at while I was in Tokyo. There are many different types of Japanese ramen; Some types have buttery and creamy broth, but at Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) they serve what's known as shoyu ramen, which is the clear broth, seasoned with a hint of soy sauce. For myself, this is one of my favorite versions of ramen, mainly because it doesn't feel too greasy or heavy, but it just goes down smoothly and the flavors are just so clean. So anyway, I had already walked past Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上) one time before eating there, and I knew it was a place I had to try. The best thing is, you don't need to choose what to eat, they only serve one thing, the shoyu ramen. After you pay, it just takes a minute or two before the ramen master dishes out your bowl, which is always served piping hot. There is no seating, but they just have a couple of standing tables, where you can rest your bowl of ramen, season it appropriately, and get straight to digging in. For myself, it's the raw minced garlic that really makes a bowl of Japanese ramen incredible. Without raw garlic I wouldn't like it nearly as much: the garlic elevates it to new levels. I made sure to add a generous supply of raw garlic to my bowl of ramen, and that made all the difference. The ramen noodles came topped with a few slices of pork, some pickled bamboo shoots, and a handful of sliced leeks and green onions. Like I mentioned before, the broth was clear and smooth and not too oily, which is something I really liked. Again, season with raw garlic, a hint of black pepper and chili, it was perfect. When you visit Tokyo, you have to have a bowl of ramen at Chuka Soba Inoue (中華そば 井上). It might not be the absolute best tasting ramen in Tokyo, but the Japanese street food atmosphere on the outskirts of Tsukiji, combined with a piping hot bowl of classic tasting ramen, is a wonderful experience. It was also winter when I went, and quite cold outside, so nothing satisfying like a hot bowl of soup. Open hours: 5 am -- 1:30 pm (closed Sundays) Address: 4-9-16 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan Price: 650 JPY ($6.40) More details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/05/chuka-soba-inoue-street-ramen-tokyo/ Tokyo food guide: http://migrationology.com/2014/03/tokyo-travel-guide-for-food-lovers/ Get my free street food guide: http://wp.me/Psd9b-4pl Bangkok 101 Guide: http://migrationology.com/ebook-101-things-to-do-in-bangkok/ Eating Thai Food Guide: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/eating-thai-food-guide/ Follow my adventures on http://migrationology.com/blog & http://www.eatingthaifood.com/blog/ Thank you so much for watching this food and travel video by Mark Wiens.
