[...] What does any of this have to do with travel? Not a lot, except that John is also Canadian Chinese (as far as I can work out). This means he has a fondness for Asian food that goes beyond most Western palettes. He’s made a couple of great posts recently about his own favourite Asian dishes.

John, as much as I like reading about what you are eating it pains me to read some of these articles.

See, I suffer from the rare malady of the “beef allergy.” I don’t know how I acquired it but I have been lactose intolerant since age 24.

I used to be a big beef eater and cooked steaks twice a week…

How about doing a restaurant article where you have zero meat on the plates?

Well-done flank and beef brisket are pretty safe too. If you want to be super safe, you can get the lemon grass chicken with rice, but it’s so far from the authentic pho experience.

I’m a big fan of the iced coffee, but I like my caffeine strong.
