Foodmadics: travel and taste with Sara and Ale

Welcome to our blog, we are Sara & Ale: we are Italians and we love to travel and taste. We coined the term Foodmadics to describe those who travel & taste like us.

Sara is sweet, quirky, funny and writes all the content in this blog. She is a great travel planner but also disaster-prone and a little bit of a scaredy cat sometimes. Shh, don’t tell her this last part or she’ll put on her angry face..

Ale (like the beer, yes, but pronounced differently!) is cheeky, methodical and sometimes extremely annoying. But hey, he was the one deciding to build this website

HongKong: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

Western people consider HongKong the doorway to China and we were not an exception. This has been our first time in Asia and we got captured by how different everything appears from what we are used to. Starting from the small things: you’ll feel like an illiterate again and moving around might seem challenging at first. Once you get used to the discomfort, you’ll discover that also food is not something you are used to and the safe choices will be dumplings and Beijing duck, but it would be a shame to miss out on fruits like the Durian and the water apple – difficult to find in the Western world and worth a try.
If you feel adventurous, in local markets you should also try the dried fishes that are conserved in craters just by the side of the road. A lot to take in, while the bright lights of the city from Victoria’s peak at night will mesmerise you!

Cambodia: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the unmistakable silhouette of Angkor Wat to the power of nature at the Ta Prohm, Cambodia is a country that will fill your heart with conflicting feelings making you re-evaluate how lucky you are. The smiles of the local people in the city of Siem Reap will not match with the poverty that you will experience during your exploration. You can relax with a massage and try the taste of the Khmer food that is mixing sweet and spicy notes. Make sure you try shrimps in coconut or lemongrass sauces and do not forget to buy a silky present for that important person back home..

France: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the romantic and timeless streets of Paris to the taste of the french cuisine you can try in the cafes, France is a gourmet paradise and even if we have a favourite in our Italian tradition – of course – we can’t deny how important and how enjoyable it is tasting in France. Your choices are almost unlimited, but for us, it all starts with breakfast (petit déjeuner), goes on with tartare (raw beef) and onion soup quaffed by fantastic full-bodied red wines. There will be also space for elegant drinks if you take a trip to Epernay, the Champagne region. And do not forget all the desserts, plenty of choices here as well but if you pass by Bordeaux, be sure to try the canelé: a traditional baked caramelised crust with a soft custard heart… et voila!
