Food post

So as most people know, I love chicken laksa, well really, I love the chicken laksa from Malay Chinese on Hunter St in Sydney. I love it so much and miss it so much here in Apia that I went searching for pictures of it. The Malay Chinese website itself doesn’t really have any large photos of the laksa I like (the chicken not boneless chicken). So I’m going to link to some other guy’s photo I found on the net of the same laksa at the same restaurant.

When I get back to Sydney, I’m going to eat so much of that. I used to have it up to 3 times every 2 weeks. I would have had more if a certain person didn’t ban me from eating there more often. That and I also miss:

• Shancheng Hotpot
  
• Pho
  

So what do I eat here? Well there’s not much variety and the food ain’t the best here. There’s the local favourite, Pinatis of course.

That picture is from some Peace Corps blog, who happens to be in Samoa now as well. I used to eat here a fair bit, chopsuey, chow mein and rice for a low, low 4 tala price (<$2AUD).

But you get sick of the same food all the time. I actually found a pretty good fast Asian food place called Deng Sheng which is close to where I work. I eat here quite frequently now. It’s actually decent with a good Soya chicken. A meal with drink costs 9.50 tala (<$5). So I can't complain about the price either.

Recently though, I have taken to going to Nella’s.

This is a Jamaican fast food chain. Fuck, the fried chicken there is delicious. It is better than KFC. :O
I know it’s a shock, but it’s true. The 2 piece chicken meal with fries and a can of coke costs 12.90 tala, so it’s the priciest of the options, but well worth a treat sometimes. The fries are also delicious with awesome (chicken) salt. This Nella’s thing could be really big! They don’t have a website but they do have a facebook page. Check them out.
