We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our RUclips videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.
***********************************************************************

It’s so fun. Thanks heaps for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas
Hi! Thank you for such an awesome video! I was just wondering how the ordering and paying works with the QR code?
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for watching and we’re so glad you enjoyed this one. You scan the QR code and it starts an account for your table. You can then just order as and when you like from the menu as it pops up on your phone (like online shopping) and then at the end your bill is waiting for you 😄 It’s all very seamless! Cheers, Sheena
Fun fact although most people assume Bulgolgi is only beef it can be pork as well …Bulgolgi just means fire meat….
This is great to know 😍 I’d totally be into both! It’s so delicious. Thanks for watching guys, hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Good timing, actually checking out pici tonight
😍😍😍 Yassss! Hope you love it just as much as we do! I’m still dreaming of that beetroot. Thanks for watching I’m King. Cheers, Sheena

It’s now $8.88 a dish which was expected with inflation. Looks delicious though.
It is! Still pretty reasonable given the cost of food now eh. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate , definitely! Have to head to Ponsonby via Christchurch and Tauranga next time I'm across the pond! Alas, not many cheap eats in Melbourne at the moment so we are doing most of our cooking at home! ;)
Still really cheap when starters these days run for around 25-30 often 😫
Only $8 for the pork chips? If so I'm definitely buying lol
😂👊 do it mate! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
I wanna check it out today and hope they are ok with just 1 person . . . me :)
No doubt Alby! Do it! 👊😎 thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
