11 Memorable Things I Ate In 2012
King Tacos, Okinawa
I’m not much one for keeping score, but as another year goes by it’s nice to spend a few moments thinking about all the things we’ve done, the places we’ve been, and especially all the delicious things we’ve eaten.
I ate a lot of good stuff this year and here, in no particular order, are a few that stuck in my mind.
- No. 2 Burger – Pearl’s Diner, Adelaide
- Springbok, corn, pap and apple – The Saxon, Johannesburg
- Kuruma-ebi nigiri sushi – Sukiyabashi Jiro, Ginza
- Chicago-style deep-dish sausage pizza – made by my sister-in-law who lives in Ohio
- Oysters and Succulents – Attica, Ripponlea
- Banana leaf – Nirvana, Bangsar
- Taco rice cheese yasai – King Tacos, Okinawa
- Lantern yakitori – Torishiki, Meguro
- King George Whiting usuzukuri – Sokyo, Sydney
- Injera and wat – Abyssinia, Indianapolis
- Congee with ham, yolk and Earl Grey tea – Momofuku Seiobo, Sydney
Any dishes, meals or experiences that stand out in 2012 for you?

thank’s for sharing such beautiful dishes…but since I don’t eat meat the best ones are the Japanese ones…for me!
De certeza que são comidas de diversas regiões e Países com bom aspecto e bom paladar , mas como sou ALGARVIO ( sul de Portugal ) adore uns bons BERBIGÕES e SARDINHAS ASSADAS com SALADA ALGARVIA….HUMMMM…..

Chicago-style deep-dish sausage pizza looks really good.
Looks like you have had some yummy dishes there in some exotic places! Would be interested to know what chocolates/desserts you liked best.
Nirvana Curry House located in Malaysia Bangsar… One of my favorite…
I really like that the best Indian food you ate was not in India, but was in Indianapolis.
Seems incredibly appropriate.
Hi, I stumbled across this posting while chasing an old, nostalgic buzz.
I was so happy to see that you ate at King Tacos in Okinawa, and that you thought it worthy enough to be considered memorable. Seeing that picture brought a world I had thought of as forgotten.
I spent many, many nights in my early adolescents stumbling in this exact spot. In a drunkingly fashion with friends, we would be discussing and reflecting of our nights together over a delicious meal of taco rice. I must say a smile has been stamped on my face. I almost feel 21 again.
Thank you much!
