[…] inspired by a couple of different Thai soup recipes, I’ve made this mushroom broth before, though in the past, it’s included shreds of smoked fish. I’ve removed the fish, though […]

[…] and a dinner that I was quite pleased with. Far more unusual, I think, in terms of the dishes, than last year’s menu. Oh, and it was just coincidence, I think, that I’d just checked out one of the local Thai […]

Sine – Barrio Chino, as it’s known here, is the entire section of Belgrano that surrounds the Belgrano “C” train station. However, the main shopping area is a two block strip of the street Arribeños that runs north from the station, along with the cross streets that it passes by – Juramento, Mendoza and Olazabal. There are 4 large supermarkets that carry pretty much everything, including the one on Mendoza that has a great fish market at the back. Then there are smaller stores around as well that specialize in a variety of different things.

You can also get pretty much any spices, Asian and otherwise, at places like El Gato Negro, at Corrientes 1669 or Doña Clara, at Corrientes 2561; and a lot of really unusual stuff, especially in the world of dried herbs – both culinary and medicinal, at Casa Polti, Juramento 2499 in Belgrano.

And, if you’re up for a bit longer trip, Coreatown is in Bajo Flores – along Carabobo, from Castañares to Av. Eva Perón – and you can find all sorts of interesting things out there.

Frank – I love banana bread/cake, so I look forward to it!

Ja ja, me too (regarding the banana dessert). Another thing that not too many people know about me is that I am a bit absent minded. At least now I can make it up a little bit. On our lunch outing the other day I was going to take some cookies for you guys. I obviously forgot and now I can add our banana budin to the cookies that I am going to have delivered to your house.

I know itÂ´s not the same as clicking on the Donate button but I hope it satisfies.
