#1 Is there a city or town that stands out for you as having a great food scene? Niagara Falls Ont.

#2. What makes a location a great food scene for you? Fresh sea foods paired with fresh micro greens and the beef is much tastier than the US.

#3. Where would you like to travel to, to experience the local foods? Morocco.

#4. What dish or meal stands out as something that you would travel for again?
Kailua pig luau, Maui.

I found that anything that I eat on an Island or at the beach always tastes better than the alternative.

ahk mentioned Portland as a great food city. I agree.

Have not been to Maui yet but look forward to visiting.

I finally made Rendang last Friday. Lotsssss of cutting up of lemon grass, fresh tumeric, red onions and other things I don't know how to spell. Mustn't forget the toasted coconut and the fresh coconut milk... shrimp paste, ground dried chillies ...

My ex's mum washed the chicken with water and salt and then, later on without consulting with me first, added salt to the Rendang. When we sat down to eat it, it was so salty!

My ex thinks that her mum didn't rinse the chicken properly to get rid of the salt from washing it. Ex added some water to it, but how to get rid of excess saltiness? I was quite disappointed.

Will come back later with a proper list of ingredients. This is the Nyonya style of Rendang, the traditional Malay style is a bit different. Darker, drier and salty.

Hiya Kiwi can you post some pics too?

So sorry that the over salting occurred. Not fun! I have had that experience too where I was really looking forward to a dish and it came up way too salty. Also had that experience with someone adding cayenne and not medium red chili powder to black bean chili, then not wanting to admit that she made the error...and serving the dish anyway. That was quite a memory.

Looking forward to learning how to make Rendang!
