Eating around the world

One of the best things about travelling is that you get to try different food. I grew up in city where food is well-loved and eating is the nation’s pastime.

Think Boston, and you think of Boston’s lobsters. As the oldest restaurant in Boston and the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the U.S. , the Union Oyster House serves a scrumptious meal of lobsters and oysters.

 Lobster bisque at Fisherman Wharf in San Francisco. This warm bowl of soup was especially delicious after spending almost the entire day walking around a chilly San Francisco.

These 3 cups of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream may look ordinary. But these were bought fresh from the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory in Vermont, making them extra tasty!

 Famous Sally's Apizza at New Haven, Connecticut. This pizzeria was ranked amongst the top 10 on Travel channel’s American Top 100 Food. Just a few stores down the same street, there was Pepe's Pizzeria – a rival Pizzeria. Of course, we had to try pizzas from both pizzeria on the same night!

In Chicago, you have to try its famous deep-dish pizza. Different from its New York’s thin crust pizza, Chicago-style pizza has a buttery crust up to three inches tall at the edge, slightly higher than the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce, acting as a large bowl.

In Philadelphia, the famous Philly Cheesesteak is a must! A sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of steak and melted cheese in a long roll – the Philly Cheesesteak is simply delicious. Pat's and Geno's Steaks are some of the best you can find in Philadephia.

 This is what people flying first-class on US Airways eat. I was upgraded to fly first-class after my original fight was cancelled because of a snow storm. While the rest of the people on the flight only had water to drink, we were served real food on real plates!
