Craving Asia

It's been more than two years since I've been back to Taiwan, where I spent my childhood years. I got an email from my cousin this morning with photos of his one year old boy that I have yet to meet. The images made me feel the need to go back and share in their lives. Thinking about Taiwan made me think of all the places in Asia that I love and all the foods I miss. The above photo was the last bowl of beef noodles I had from my home town in Taiwan. It's always the first thing I eat when I get off the plane, after an 18 hour flight. It's home.

Here are some articles from the NYtimes that I've been hoarding about Asia, ready to inspire:
Shopping, dim sum, and a must see- the mid-levels escalator system in Hong Kong. Eating dumplings in Beijing. Street food in Bangkok.
