Best and Worst of RTW Eats: Australia / New Zealand edition
For my roundup of the best and worst meals around the world, I'm starting from the very end: my last month in Australia and New Zealand.
The Best
I've already waxed rhapsodic in my posting here about Nhu Lan's banh mi, so there's not much more to say. Culinary perfection.
The Worst
This was a tossup between eating the same pastrami and cheese sandwich for the sixth time in three days (I had to make my own lunch for the Franz Josef glacier hike, so needed to use up an entire loaf of bread and package of meat and cheese), and the Lao food from the International Food Court on Ponsonby Rd in Auckland. The Lao food won. Totally unlike the food I had in Laos (will post about that next), this curry was creamy, sweet, and not spicy. I couldn't finish it, and not just because the portion size was so large.
