Tarua Seafood @ Koh Samui, Thailand
I was in Koh Samui for 4 days to see visit girlfriend Itsaree who was training to become a certified Yoga Teacher. We had our first meal at Tarua Seafood which was located a few hundred metres from her class in Vikasa Resort.
The restaurant specializes in Thai Seafood Dishes and was located on top of a cliff giving diners a beautiful view of the Sea. We kept our order light as she had to go back to class right after.
Fresh Coconut
Tarua Thai Salad
Yum Woon Sen
The seafood used in the Yum Woon Sen was very fresh especially thair Prawns and Calamari. The dressing however was a little on the sweet side. I would have preferred it to be a little more sour.
Salt Grilled Seabass
The Seabass was a little overcooked for my liking.
Stir-Fried Fish Maw
I particularly enjoyed their Stir-Fried Fish Maw. The Fish Maw had a good springy texture and was not too oily.
Food: 3/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Price: $$ (Approximately USD $20 per person)

Really good Greek Food @ Poseidon, Munich
We spent a couple of days in Munich to visit our friends Bali and Brooke who took us to this little Greek Restaurant called Poseidon. It was my first time having Greek Food in Germany and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The menu was very similar to many Greek Restaurants in Toronto but the preparation of the food was much better.
Fish Soup
Grilled Octopus
Baked Mussels
Grilled Seabass
Grilled Seafood Platter
Meat Platter
I really enjoyed my meal at Poseidon. The Grilled Octopus was one of the best I've had. The meat was tender and had a nice charcoal flavor that was complemented with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Another favorite of mine was their Seabass which was simply grilled with Olive Oil and Salt. Anyone visiting Munich that might want to try something else besides German Food should consider paying Poseidon a visit.
Food: 4.5/5
Ambience: 3.5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Price: $$$ (Approximately USD $30 per person)

Frankfurt Cuisine @ FichteKranzi, Frankfurt
Opened in 1849, FichteKraenzi is one of the oldest Apple Wine Restaurants in Frankfurt City. The restaurant specializes in serving local Frankfurt favorites in addition to some regional German and International Dishes for non-locals.
Apple Wine
Dark Beer
Gratinated Onion Soup
I enjoyed the onions soup. The cheese was gooey and the broth was full bodied.
Salad with Chicken Fillet
This was my main course. The Chicken was quite tender and the Yogurt dressing melded well with the fresh Lettuce, Tomatoes and Endives. I liked how the bean sprouts adds a nice crunch to the salad.
Boiled Beef with Frankfurt Green Sauce and Boiled Potatoes
I really liked the Green Sauce which is usually made from an assortment of herbs, eggs and sour cream. The sauce complemented the tender beef.

Rotisserie Chicken @ Safari Grill, Frankfurt
I've always wondered if the Rotisserie Chicken at Safari Grill was any good. Every time I would visit Frankfurt we would pass by Safari Grill watching their chickens turn as it is slowly being roasted in the Rotisserie. It looked really mouth watering but we've always decided to eat somewhere else. This trip round we decided to give the place a try for lunch.
Roast Chicken
Salad
The Chicken was a little disappointing. It was dry and a too salty. I still prefer the Rotisserie Chicken at Score's in Montreal which are really juicy and salted just right. I did however enjoy the Salad whose sweet and tangy yogurt dressing went well with the mixed greens.

Japanese @ Watami, Shanghai
A popular Casual Japanese Restaurant Chain, Watami is an Izakaya that has restaurants across South East Asia and East Asia. We paid a visit for a quick lunch at their Raffle City Mall location in Shanghai.
Salmon Sashimi
The Sashimi wasn't very fresh.
Caesar Salad
The Salad was my favorite dish. The dressing had a mild tang but was quite balanced and the Egg was perfectly poached.
Fried Chicken Wings
The Fried Chicken Wings were tossed in a honey sauce. It was crispy but lacked meat.
Bibim Bap
The Bibim Bap was ok. The rice had a nice crisp at the bottom but was a little too oily.

My colleagues took me for Hot Pot on my last night in Siyang County. Despite its name this restaurant does not belong to the famous Little Lamb Chain in China.
