My fingers still smell like onions as I type this but I can’t wait to tell you about this burger place near the 85 Sky Tower landmark in Kaohsiung. We don’t eat burgers and fries often but when we do, THIS is the place. Typically we devour fresh veggies and lean chicken breast for our Read More

Pool time at the Coco…Coco Kalaaaaaaaaa
Water we waiting for? In the beginning of September we found ourselves with a four-day weekend from school. This mini-break took the place of a holiday traditionally held in April, the Songkran Festival. (Original Songkran, also known as the water festival, was postponed due to Covid. Check out this list of things to do during Read More
Eating our way around the world
We’re not vegan but we can pretend. We love food. Have I ever told you that? Part of the reason we like to travel is the opportunity we have to sample cuisines from everywhere. We are eating our way around the world! Yes, we ate Japanese while on vacation in Bangkok and sure, you can Read More
Tango with mango sticky rice
It’s no secret I have a sweet tooth. If I have just eaten lunch or dinner, I probably want dessert. If I have just eaten dessert, I may want additional dessert. I can’t hide my love for chocolate, fruit and froyo so I’ve decided to embrace it. I also welcome any chance to try new Read More
Pepper Lunch: Sizzle-It-Yourself!
Only the Walters Gang would leave the United States to move to China, vacation in Thailand and while there find a great Japanese restaurant, Pepper Lunch.

Delivery birthday buffet
(I will readily admit I am behind in my blogs. The following event happened in September and it’s early January.) We celebrated Aubrie’s birthday – and our newfound luxury of quick home delivery of food – with a delivery dinner feast. The birthday girl herself orchestrated it, placing orders at a few restaurants. I was Read More
A different kind of Sea World
Sea World is not what you’d think About a month ago (and again last night) we went to Sea World! We did not see Shamu and we did not get splashed in the front row by diving sea creatures. In fact, there were no sea creatures to observe. In Shenzhen, Sea World is the Read More
Last chance, sweet durian.
The Chinese teachers in my English department at school are so sweet and generous. At least three times a week, someone is offering me some kind of food. We all walk around to each other’s cubicle with whatever we have so everyone can share. Sometimes it’s chocolate but most of the time it is dried Read More
A little Western comfort in Hong Kong
This move to China has meant completing a lot of “firsts” for us. It’s my first move out of the United States. We are teaching in real classrooms for the first time. This is the first time we’ve been completely dependent on public transportation. We have eaten so many new foods, obviously for the first Read More
Durian part II: my own personal pan evil pizza
Since deciding that durian does not belong in ice cream, I’ve seen many other food groups that have been invaded by the fruit. I’ve been curious but afraid. I remember the conflict of my senses: it smells like onion, it initially tastes like onion and it’s creamy. There’s a tiny bit of sweet toward the Read More
