Taste

If each country were to create a small, edible copy itself what would they taste like? There are over 190 countries on this planet. With so many cultures, climates, and environments, there are so many flavours that you would be able to try! Be what if that flavour was just one general flavour that best represents that particular country? What would it be? Well, that is exactly the purpose of this write-up: to explore, examine, and imagine flavours from across the world. Now because there over 190 countries, I cannot cover all of them in one writing. Instead, I resorted to restricting it to 5 countries per continent. I initially wanted to do 10 per continent, but even then, that would have been 60 flavours to write about. You know what? I am doing 10 per continent. While I did start with 5, I realized that 5 is just too small and lazy of an effort. I have expanded it to 10 to include some nations that I really felt had to be on this list.

Another important thing that I must make perfectly clear is that no offence is intended here. Yes, it is going to be largely stereotypical, but not in demeaning, offensive, or racist ways. 

North America

Canada

Canada is massive country covered in forests, lakes, and rocks. It also produces a lot of maple syrup, and has tons of fruits and greenery across its gigantic landscape. Biting into an edible, mini copy of Canada is going to have a sweet, earthy, succulent taste.

United States Of America

Beef. That is the first thing that comes to my mind when I imagine what the United States would taste like. True, it has a large variable landscape of deserts, forest, mountains, and even subtropical parts. It even has more ethnic groups in in its borders than any other country on the planet. Yet, despite that all, the flavour of the United States is a seasoned beef.

Mexico

When most people think of Mexican food, beef, tomatoes, corn, and pepper would spring to mind. As one particular flavour, Mexico will taste like a mix of beef, tomatoes, cheese and corn. Highly predictable. Even Mexicans would agree with me on this.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica may be small, but it really does live up to its name “Rich Cost”. The country is covered in rich rainforests and beautiful coasts. How would it taste? Costa Rica would taste like a leafy, fruit salad.

Jamaica

Jamaica is already widely known for its food and music, so predicting it is hyper easy. Jamaica would taste like a blend of cod, rice, pepper, and plantain.  

Panama

Panama, you are the gate of South America and North America, so what would you taste like? You taste like lime, coconut, and chicken.

Cuba

The largest island in the Caribbean! How does it taste? Tastes like a fusion of black beans, banana, and fish.

Saint Lucia

Miss Lucia, you are often touted as the honeymoon capitol of the world. But, do you really taste like honey? No, rather you taste like a good mix of plantain, chicken, and greens. 

Trinidad & Tobago

A lot of your brothers tend to taste something along the lines of banana cultivars blended with things like rice, fish, or greens. Trinidad, you on the other hand taste like coconut, pastry, and brown sugar.

Barbados

This eastern Caribbean island tastes like cornmeal, fish, and okra. Not exactly something that would make your mouth sing, but some will still find it very tasty.

South America

Guyana

Guyana; the South American country that classifies culturally with the Caribbean. What would this forest-covered, flavourful country taste like? A blend of cornflour, turmeric, yam, and goat. Meaty and doughy.

Brazil

O Brazil! Not only are the largest country in South America, you also classified as megadiverse nation in terms of peoples, plants, animals, and all! How would you be defined as one general flavour? Defining you in flavour is not an easy thing. Overall, due to your sheer number of flora both in and outside of food, you would taste like an epic mix of a sweet, sour, savory fruit.

Peru

This South Pacific South American country would taste like a seasoned blend of corn, potatoes, and fish.

Argentina

Hands down beef! Yes, just like your distant neighbours in the Northern part of the Americas, you too, would also taste like well-flavoured beef.

Bolivia

Similarly to your brother who resides to the northwest, you would also taste like a fusional potatoes and corn mix, but instead of fish, chicken.

Venezuela

Cheese, black beans, and bananas is what biting into Venezuela would give you the impression of.

Colombia

Being neighbours with Panama, also makes you the gate of the North and South America. While your neighbour has that zesty taste to it, you taste like a pastry with beans and meat in it.

Suriname

You taste so sweet and rich in the mouth, Suriname. You taste just like a blend of peanuts, bananas, and coconuts. Very rich and sweet!

Chile

Despite what your name suggests, you do not taste like chili. You taste like a corn pastry with chicken mixed into it.

Ecuador

Ecuador has the taste of meat, corn, and cheese combined. Thought you would taste fish, eh?

Africa

Egypt

Egypt; the land where the Nile flows, where the pharaohs ruled, and the great pyramids stand. How do you taste? You would be crunchy and taste like a meat-filled pastry.

Nigeria

What does Africa’s most populous country taste like? A fusion of rice, yam, and, chicken.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia, you would taste like like beef, greens, and bread.

Kenya

Perhaps those unfamiliar with you might expect you to taste like fish, only to bite into you and describe you as tasting like a rich mix of rice, maize, and greens.

South Africa

How would I describe you, South Africa? You have a gigantic assortment of foods, peoples, and wildlife, that make it somewhat challenging to describe your taste. To boil it down to one particular flavour, you taste like apricot, beef, rice, and plantain. Indeed a very unique flavour.

Madagascar

With such a sheer variety of plants, animals, and foods, you are another one of those places with an explosive mix of flavours. You taste like exotic meat, rice, greens, and coconut all in one.

Uganda

Bite into Uganda and you will find it tastes like a fusion of cassava, sweet potato, and orange. 

Ghana

Want to eat more Gulf Of Guinean countries? Ghana tastes like cassava, rice, and plantain.

Senegal

Do you like fish, rice, and tomato sauce? That is what a food-sized Senegal tastes like. There is also an animal called “senegal” but I believe it is also referred to as “Senegal parrot” to avoid confusion. I have no idea what that would taste like, and I do not encourage anyone to find out. If I were to predict, a mild, chicken-like, bush flavour.

Morocco

Morocco coco? No, this North African country tastes like beef, durum, and greens. 

Asia

Israel

Israel, you are a land of bread. Lots of bread. And chickpeas. So unsurprisingly, you taste as if somebody blended chickpea paste, olives, and flour together, then baked it into a bar.

India

Spices, spices, spices! When one thinks of Indian food, they think of a land with a rich assortment of spices, fruits, vegetables, and pastries. As expected, India tastes like a pastry mixed with spices, and vegetables..

Japan

Konnichiwa, Nippon! You taste like fish and rice. 

Mongolia

Mongolia, you have a lot of variable meats going there. I also notice that you love your pastry, and creamy beverages. That explains why you taste like a meaty, milky dumpling.

Thailand

Thailand, you are one of those countries that is on the international stage of popularity when it comes onto your food. Why? Because of the way you use such contrasting flavours and manage to make them come out good. A singular flavour? You taste like citrus, pepper, rice, and chicken. 

Taiwan

This island country would taste like a savoury mix of beef, rice, and herbs.

South Korea

Despite being home to Samsung, LG, and numerous other mega electronics, South Korea does not taste metallic. Rather, it tastes like a blend of salted vegetables.

Turkey

With a name like that, people would expect Turkey to taste like a meaty bird, but it does not! It tastes like a sweet and chewy mix of apricots, figs, and dates.

Philippines

Blend of fish, eggs, lime, and noodles. That is what you taste like, Philippines.

Kazakhstan

Tastes sweet and crispy — just like an apple. Must be all those apples you grow there, and the fact that they originate there, that drove you as whole to taste like the fruit.

Europe

United Kingdom

This island nation sure loves its breads and proteins. No wonder your taste is a chicken-bread fusion.

Italy

Italy, there is no mistake that your culinary consists mainly of 3 things: pastries, tomatoes, and cheese. Of course, there is more to it and variations, but when biting into you, you taste like that: flatbread, tomato sauce, and cheese.

Finland

This place is seen as a quiet land of forests, and people relaxing in a sauna. The taste? There is a whole lot of berries and tons of pastries. That explains why Finland tastes like blueberry pie.

Greece

Figs, cheese, whole grains, and olives. Yum or yuck? That is what this ancient, history-rich country tastes like. Quite good if you ask me.

Ukraine

Ukraine, you are frequently referred to as the breadbasket of Europe. That explains why you have that nice, fresh, pastry taste, but why do you make peoples’ mouths red? Oh, right! It is because you taste like blend of whole grains and beet.

Switzerland

The land of scenic alps and lakes tastes like cheese bread.

France

The land of fine breads, fittingly tastes like a blend of bread, cheese, and greens.

Belgium

So sweet! Belgium, you taste like a lovely blend of milk chocolate, blueberries, and strawberries. So good! 

Poland

Poland predictably tastes like a dumpling filled with cheese.

Norway

What would the land of ski resorts taste like? Bushy? Sort of. Norway tastes like a fusion of lamb, cabbage, and potatoes.

Oceania

Australia

Australia, you are a quirky one, mate. Defining your taste is not exactly a simple task. Are you supposed to be pasty? Fishy? Sweet? None of the above? So many meats, vegetables, and fruits on this gigantic island tucked away in the deep South Pacific. Let us take another bite into you to get a final verdict. Yes. Yes, you taste like bread with snapper fish and produce bits.

New Zealand

How does the adventure capital of the world taste? Tastes like sheep, potato, and berries. A fittingly adventurous taste!

Fiji

Thinking of coconuts and island fish before you even bite into Fiji? Well, it was honestly fairly easy. This Pacific hotspot taste like a fusion of fish, coconut, and sweet potatoes. 

Tonga

So much flour and coconuts in this place. No wonder you taste like coconut bread.

Samoa

Not to be confused with American Samoa, which is a territory of the United States. Samoa, as soon as you are bitten into, your taste is as one would quite expect: a blend of coconuts, bananas, and fish.

Papua New Guinea

How does the land of 800 languages taste? Crazily explosive? No, it surprisingly has a rather tame taste of cassava, fish, and coconut.

Solomon Islands

Craving something sweet and pasty? Solomon Islands tastes like sugar cane, yam, and papaya.

Palau

Like it spicy and meaty? This island country taste like chicken, papaya, and ginger.

Kiribati

Fish! Want nothing more than a pure fish flavour? This remote island country taste like rich Pacific fish.

Tuvalu

How does the World’s 4th smallest country taste? Tastes like a fusion of bananas, breadfruit, and coconut. Exotic and sweet as one could easily predict.

Antarctica

Surprise! Were you expecting Antarctica? Almost certainly not. The landmass is just ice, water, rocks, and meat. That predictably explains why biting into Antarctica taste like a gritty, meaty ice pop. Gross? Certainly not to penguins and seals! Or people that like biting into cooked, cold meat that has been frozen into an ice pop. Is there anybody actually like that? Certainly not me!

Natural Flavours Need To Be Listed Entirely

Transparency Is Vital

There are a number of things in Canada that must be plainly labelled, and cannot be hidden behind secret terms. Bamboo in textiles is an interesting example of this. Manufacturers are no longer allowed to use the word “bamboo” on their clothing or textile products unless it is directly derived from bamboo without the use of heavy processing. Most of the time when bamboo appears in the composition material of clothes, it is bamboo viscose; a regenerated cellulose fibre which is chemically manufactured from bamboo, as opposed to the more sustainable bamboo lyocell. This allows consumers to make an informed choice over the type of bamboo used in their clothes, sheets, and other textiles. The same thing needs to be done for natural flavours. This term is loose, unnecessary, and unfair for consumers.

What Are Natural Flavours?

Natural flavours are food flavourings that are derived from plants or animals. This brings up a serious question: If artificial flavours are made from chemicals in the laboratory, but natural flavours are also extracted from natural sources in  laboratory, does that not essentially make them the same? For natural foods, there is a list of processes that cannot be used in combination with chemical additions such as chemically bleaching, smoking, or oxidation. The problem with that list is that it only concerns the whole food itself, and not the natural flavouring ingredient. Example: a natural strawberry pie is not allowed to be baked with chemical oil. Sounds obvious and clear enough. However, that same “natural” strawberry pie’s natural strawberry flavouring is allowed to be be chemically bleached, used in the pie, and still legally allowed to be labelled as natural flavouring. Not all companies go this far to take advantage of how they can abuse the natural flavours label, but it is important to know.

Short: natural flavours are derived from edible sources of plants and animals, while artificial flavours come from inedible sources.

Why Do Companies Use This Term?

Why would a company use natural strawberry flavours or even simply natural flavours instead of transparently telling consumers exactly what those flavours are? There are 2 main reasons for this:

1) A long list of essences and blends used to make a flavour. The list of blends and products may be too long and complex to list out on a food label. This is an invalid point, as the problem can be simply fixed by not using such a complex flavour in the first place. If, for example, it takes 100 fluids and extractions to get that exact lemon flavour, such company would have been better off using lemon juice to begin with. Far healthier for the consumer, too. That said, the composition list is not always long, nor is it toxic. Sometimes they insist they need to keep it a secret which leads to the second reasoning below.

2)  The recipe for a food product is proprietary and the companies do not want to disclose their secrets. This may sound reasonable at first glance, but it is not for very factual and logical reasonings.

Firstly, even if a cookie company were legally forced to precisely list exactly what all of its ingredients are, it would not result in bankruptcy to that cookie company. Unless, of course, that cookie company has been using ingredients that are illegal in Canada, and refuses to change their recipe. The reason is astonishingly simple: consumers or rivals would not know the exact quantity of such ingredients. Even if they did attempt to replicate it, they would not know the exact heating settings, preparation methods, or other hands-on techniques the cookie company might use to make its cookies the way it does. How would a rival know which soil the ingredients may have been grown in? How much they watered them? How ripened or unripened? Dried or fresh? Tossed in the air? Baked in a very specific oven? Perhaps not even an oven, but maybe even on a flat metal over open fire? The list of possibilities could go potentially go on for very long span of text.

Secondly, there are plenty of companies in existence that plainly list all of their ingredients. These companies have not gone bankrupt. At least not explicitly for the reason of listing their ingredients openly. In fact, for some companies the simplicity and openness of their ingredients is their biggest asset. This catering draws a loyal audience that enjoys the wholeness and simplicity of their products.

Use The Real Deal

Is cheaper better? Sometimes. For a lot of companies, flavourings are easy to produce en masse very cheaply. This makes it easy to churn them out by the millions to rake out big profits. Is it good for the consumer? No. Lemons are not rare. Herbs are not rare. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberries, peaches, many others fruits, vegetable, plants, and animals are not rare. Is it more work to produce and use whole ingredients? Yes, but it is by no means a hard or difficult thing to do. The use of natural flavours that are not actually whole ingredients is entirely unnecessary. Using the original ingredient is healthier and more authentic, adding both flavour and nutrition. 

Should Natural Flavours Be Avoided At All Costs?

No, natural flavours do not need to be avoided at all costs. While many companies use natural flavours that are synthetically extracted, many also do not. The ultimate importance is transparency that allows consumers to know right as soon as they look at a label. One should not have to guess or resort to messaging a company about its ingredients. The consumers should be able to have the information right at their fingertips. A lot of people do not care, and will devour whatever looks good, or tastes good. There are also a lot of people that do care, and want to know exactly what is in their food. Some people in this category even resort to making most things at home, as way of having more control over what they put into their bodies. Transparency does neither side any harm.

Woe Unto Them Who Do Not Cook!

One Who Does Not Cook: I do not cook.

One Who Cooks: You do not cook, you say?

One Who Does Not Cook: No, I do not need to learn how to cook.

One Who Cooks: Woe unto them who do not cook! For cooking is an essential survival skill! 

One Who Does Not Cook: Survival skill?!

One Who Cooks: Yes, cooking is a vital survival skill that you must learn sooner or later, lest you fall into deep hunger being at the mercy of others fingers.

One Who Does Not Cook: Perhaps this would be truer in the ancient times. However, in modern times with much improved sanitation and the surplus of restaurants, cooks, and shops available, the general population need not stress over cooking.

One Who Cooks: Foolish words! Modernity is not an excuse to abolish such an important skill! For people of the past, people of the present, and people of the future still have mouths to feed, and bodies to nourish.

One Who Does Not Cook: I did not say that people do not eat. Of course everyone has a mouth to feed! The difference is that we no longer need to hunt, gather, and prepare food the same way the ancients had to because the modern times now has dedicated people in careers to deal with farming, harvesting, preparing, transporting, cooking, storage, and selling.

One Who Cooks: How can one possibly feel good about leaving something so important exclusively to the hands of others? Surely, it is understandable that one cannot cook every single day. However, busy or not, learning to cook does not have to be hard. One does not have to learn to cook the same way a flashy restaurant chef does. It can be as simple as a dish of rice and lightly seasoned vegetables. 

One Who Does Not Cook: I cannot be bothered to learn to cook.

One Who Cooks: Why do you let modernity convince you that learning to personally cook is unimportant?

One Who Does Not Cook: I am bad at cooking.

One Who Cooks: Does a pigeon learn to fly from Day 1?

One Who Does Not Cook: No.

One Who Cooks: Likewise, you too, can start to learn and will get better as you keep practicing.

One Who Does Not Cook: Have you noticed the increased presence of cooked food sections in grocery stores? If the grocery store is willing to accomodate both cooks and people who do not cook, this is certainly more evidence that cooking is unimportant.

One Who Cooks: What would you do if all grocery stores were to close for a while?

One Who Does Not Cook: Easy! My mother, father, aunts, and uncles cook amazing meals at home, and can bring it to me.

One Who Cooks: What if they lived very far from you?

One Who Does Not Cook: Once again, a very easy solution: takeout. Takeout is extremely plentiful. So plentiful that even I would admit we are spoiled with the sheer variety takeout offers.

One Who Cooks: What would you do if takeout restaurants were to close?

One Who Does Not Cook: Do you not realize that there would never be a scenario where both stores and takeouts would close?

One Who Cooks: Is that what you think? Yes, it would be a very rare scenario, but not impossible. I must know what you would do in that scenario.

One Who Does Not Cook: There are plenty of quick prep options such as sandwiches, canned beans, canned soup, canned vegetables, and a vast variety of frozen foods that can be easily heated in the microwave.

One Who Cooks: Have you considered how unhealthy some of those frozen dinners are? Or how many preservatives may exist in those canned foods?

One Who Does Not Cook: Not all frozen and canned foods are dirty. Many actually have few ingredients, with some only using mere salt and water as their preservatives. Even cooks sometimes make use of canned foods, because there is not always time to prepare everything from scratch.

One Who Cooks: Valid points, but does the general population of people who do not cook, really take the time to read ingredients? Do they even care or realize what kinds of things they are putting into their bodies, since they leave the handling of their food to others?

One Who Does Not Cook: Some people care; some people do not.

One Who Cooks: Have you ever thought about how much money you would save, if you were to cook your own food?

One Who Does Not Cook: People who do not cook understand that there is a tradeoff to be made here. By not cooking, more money will be spent, but also more time will be saved.

One Who Cooks: Time saved to do what? Increase your dependance of others while also significantly increasing your sodium, sugar, and calorie intake?

One Who Does Not Cook: Time saved to do other things in life. Some people are just too busy with school, work, and other activities. Cooking will ware them down even faster.

One Who Cooks: If it comes down to the point where you are out in the fields, and there are tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, fish, edible shoots and plants, and even game birds, how do you think you will fare?

One Who Does Not Cook: Nobody in modern, urban, cities and towns will ever get into such a scenario. Why would I waste time pondering such an utterly unrealistic scenario?

One Who Cooks: Unlikely does not equal impossible. What would you do in that scenario?

One Who Does Not Cook: To survive in such a scenario you be required to have multiple skill sets. Cooking alone would not save you. You would have to learn to build a simple shelter, fend off wild animals, and so many more. There is more to the world than learning how to cook. Life can carry on just fine without it.

One Who Cooks: Yes, some very valid points, but how about answering the core question?

One Who Does Not Cook: I do not know. I suppose I would resort to eating the tomatoes, maybe throwing a rock at the birds, then attempting to roast them over some rocks, sticks and fire, and hoping that it turns out good enough to eat.

One Who Cooks: Woe! Woe unto them who do not cook! For when hard times strike, you shall surely starve to death!

What Happened?

Between Uropygial Gland: What is it? and up to Webpages: Laurentian Wireless, they all originally had an “Inspiration Behind This Post” section. From Webpages: Red Maple Greater Toronto Area Home Renovation Group and onward I stopped putting it in. Now, I have decided to remove it from all of my writings. Why? As time went on, it began to look increasingly unprofessional in my eyes. This was especially true for articles. I was originally going to officially launch my services back in January or February this year, with the latest being March. I then put it off to take a little more time to properly finish the remaining parts of the portfolio project. Also, to get a few additional blog posts done.

With me planning to finally launch my services this month, I need the website to reflect the professionalism my brand touts. Having that section in articles, webpages, and other categories, detracts from the nature of the post. Maybe some might disagree, and think that it was a nice, unique touch. Either way, I have now decided to compile them all into this post from the first to the latest published on May 03, 2019. For the ones that did not have any, I will create it here. For all posts published after May 03, 2019, I will not post their inspirational sections here, but probably within another compilation. No guarantee, though. For now, enjoy my source of motivation for 40+ writings.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: Welcome to Millennium Creek!

Ah, this was my very first post on the website. The creek had been silent and lifeless for two years, before it started flowing with life. How things have changed between then and now! I posted this as a sign of interest towards developing the website, but was not exactly sure when do it. This leads right up to the next post: Rediscovering its Purpose

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: Rediscovering its Purpose

This post was created as an affirmation to turning Millennium Creek into a professional website focused on various types of write-ups. It goes into detail about why I came back to it, what I planned to do it, and more.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Uropygial Gland: What is it?

I have been aware of the basic functions of a bird’s oil gland for quite some time. However, I have not really thought much about this subtle gland. This has changed when I had handled a budgerigar some time this year (2018), and noticed that its gland looked odd for a small bird. This then prompted me to go and learn more about this seemingly simple orifice. I wanted to learn more about the function, appearance, and diseases of the uropygial gland.

Inspiration Behind This Article: 2018 All-electric Cars Canada

For this blog entry, my motivation stems from my love for vehicles, particularly all-electric ones. Electric car offerings are truly getting more exciting, as we go further into the future.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Alto Clef: Does it Have Any Real Use?

As anyone would be able to tell from the way I went into such passionate detail with parts of this post, I am really into band instruments. So much, that it was only natural that I would create this post as part of the Millennium Creek restoration effort for this week. Why the alto clef? It is an underrated clef that it grossly misunderstood.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Will America Eventually Ban All Chinese Smartphones?

I wanted to do a post on smartphones, but could not decide what exactly I wanted to write about. The latest flagship available? iOS?  LG’s plummeting smartphone sales? I then thought about Huawei and ZTE with the legal troubles they are going through. I thought that this would make an excellent, interesting, informative, provocative subject matter to discuss. Do I personally think that the United States will eventually ban all Chinese smartphones? If by ban, we are talking about a total ban as in no importation, forbidding sales, and blocking them off from American cellular towers, then no.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Racism in Canada 2018: Getting Better or Worse?

This week, I knew that I wanted to do a post on racism/multiculturalism on Friday. In fact, I had that determined before I even knew which topics I precisely wanted to cover for the previous blog posts. Racism is a serious issue that must not be ignored and swept under a rug. It is a problem that prohibits prosperity and safety. We must acknowledge that it exists, talk about it, and seek to eradicate it whenever we can. Canada may fare better than many other places in the world, but there is still much work and improvement that needs to be done.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Keystroke logging

Cybersecurity is not a glamorous topic, but is very important. I felt that this article deserved to be resurfaced, since it contains enough valuable information in a manageable format.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Encrypting Your Smartphone’s MicroSD Card

Despite being originally written in 2016, microSD card slots are still a valuable component in phones that support them. This article contains a lot of valuable information, majority of which is still relevant in 2018. For this reason, it deserved to be polished, reformatted and uploaded onto Millennium Creek, giving it a far better chance to flow and get the views it deserves.

Inspiration Behind This Article: China Dress: Simply a Dress or More Than That?

Keziah Daum. Who is that you may ask? Perhaps you are well informed about this story already, but maybe not. Keziah is a regular 18-year-old, American citizen from Woods Cross High School, Utah, United States of America. She is a Caucasian person that decided to wear a qipao for her 2018 prom. Why? She personally thought it would be a beautiful, unique dress to wear for the special event. Unfortunately, after posting photographs on social media, a Twitter user tweeted, “My culture is NOT your ****amn prom dress” Now based on what you already might know, or what you have recently read from this blog post: are there any restrictions for foreigners wearing a qipao? No, none at all. There is a reason why YesStyle, Modern Qipao, and Chinese Clothing Online ship to plenty of non-Asian countries. Even Amazon. This story has since caused a debate on whether or not, it was really cultural appropriation. Most have sensibly agreed that it was not. Even though the criticism was uncalled for, this story inspired me to research and learn more about what I simply always called the “China dress“.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Starbucks Anti-bias Training Day

I did not have plans to write such a blog post today. But when the headlines came up about Starbuck’s official anti-bias training taking place across over 8,000 American outlets, it inspired me to do another blog post on racism. Though the incident was very unfortunate and should have never happened, the story, follow-ups behind it, and all the media surrounding it, have been very interesting. It has sparked a lot of debate over the lingering presence of racial profiling, especially towards Black people.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: Fiat Chrysler Automotobiles: June 2018 Discussion

When I heard that Fiat Chrysler was announcing a new five-year plan on June 1st, I knew that I was definitely going to do a blog post on it. I wanted to take a look at what was said, the rumors, and of course my opinions on this. The latter, not-so-surprisingly, ended up being the longest section of this entry. Which Fiat Chrysler brand is your favourite? How do you feel about their new five-year plan? The departure of Sergio Marchionne in April 2019? Comment down below and share your thoughts.

Inspiration Behind This Article: The Tokay Gecko

This post was originally supposed to be my unpublished 200-worded piece “Are Tokay Geckos Too Violent For Beginners?” But it did not happen. The original piece was not complete garbage, but was also not up to Millennium Creek standards and quality. I figured that if I were going to put up an information piece on tokay geckos, that I should expand it and include much more useful information. Why tokay geckos in particular? I wanted to do an article on an exotic animal of the sort. The tokay gecko’s stunning colours and feisty personality made it a good choice.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Indigenous Peoples of Canada

A little bit back, I created a rough notepad titled “Millennium Creek Upcoming Topics May-June 2018” There, I brainstormed a list of topics and types of writings I wanted to do over the summer. It has since been moved to a word file titled, “Ultimate Millennium Creek Writing Plan For June-July-August 2018” On this word file, I have laid out all the posts and different types of writing styles I plan to do. Since I had the topic of Indigenous Canadians in the notepad for some time, I decided to go with it. Writing about Indigenous Canadians has been an interesting, eye-opening, refresher about the people I live among. The people that have inhabited this country long before foreign settlers from other continents have arrived.

Inspiration Behind This Article: Health Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

As mentioned in the previous post, a summer plan was created for the types of writings and topics I wanted to do. While it did not explicitly state which topics or types of writing I was going to do, extra virgin olive oil was one that was planned for quite some time. Why this topic? I was searching around the Internet one day, and stumbled across a post that went into the lengthy health benefits of extra virgin olive oil. I then decided that I definitely wanted to do my own post on this topic. I wanted to add my take on it, and include information and tidbits that the others have failed to mention.

Inspiration Behind This Article: What is SaaS?

While I have been seeing the term “SaaS” for quite some time, it was not until more recently that I would do something more about it. I decided to add it to my writing plan of future topics. Now here it is on the Internet. Writing and researching it has given me a much better understanding of what it is, and more awareness of the companies that use or offer it. It probably should not come as a surprise, that I do prefer one-time purchases over subscription models when it comes onto computer software. I can see why businesses go with SaaS for the benefits discussed earlier. For me, one-time purchases suit my needs. What about you? Do you prefer subscription models or one-time purchases?

Inspiration Behind This Article: The Difference Between Nationality Versus Ethnicity

Aside from it being a planned summer article, I wanted to do this post to clarify the difference of these terms. There are many articles on the Internet that either have them mixed up, or written entirely inaccurately. This is not to say that mine is the best, and only one worth of reading. It is not. But, at the same time, it was thoughtfully and factually put together to give it credibility and quality. Found this article helpful, informative or interesting?

Inspiration Behind This Critique: Royal Bank of Canada Website Critique

A continuation of the plan summer plan to put up various categories of writings on Millennium Creek. If you read the beginning of this critique, you will know that Canadian Tire and Havelaar Canada will be appearing on Millennium Creek to join RBC as part of the portfolio for non-endorsed website critiques.

Inspiration Behind This Critique: Canadian Tire Website Critique

This write-up is the second out of the three non-endorsed website critiques, being done for a portfolio project. Why did I choose Canadian Tire of all online retailers? Well, there were a lot of other online retailers that I could have went with. For the second critique, I wanted to choose an online retail that was based in Canada, that also has a physical store. For those two reasons, it should be no surprise that Canadian Tire was one of the first places that came to mind, so I went with it. Readers, what are your impressions of these critiques so far? Comment and share your thoughts.

Inspiration Behind This Critique: Havelaar Canada Website Critique

This write-up is the third and final out of the three non-endorsed website critiques, being done for a portfolio project. If you have read my previous articles pertained to automobiles, then my inspiration behind this post should be very clear: my love all-electric cars. As such, I originally thought about doing a critique for Tesla. But then, I thought that the Tesla already has enough press and attention surrounding them, so I thought about doing Jaguar. Now Jaguar may only have one all-electric vehicle in the lineup, but the company as whole was attractive enough to make me consider it. I was then torn between Tesla and Jaguar. I then decided to do neither of those two, and went with the lesser known, Canada-based, Havelaar Canada. Turned out to be a good choice. If it does make it to production, I hope there will be a 4-door crew cab option.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Is It Acceptable For Women To Breastfeed In Public? Yes

Upon finishing the articles and website critiques for the Summer Project, now Autumn Portfolio 2018 Project, the next part of it is argumentative essays. Seeing as though I had already done this particular topic originally on May 30, 2016, I figured that it made lots of sense to upload it as the first choice for this part of the project. For the argumentative essays I cover in this project, I do plan to cover both “For” and “Against” *insert topic*. I plan to do three topics, bringing it to six essays, or six sides depending on how you look at it. For those of you that hated doing argumentative essay in school, you would probably think this is madness. Truth is, as long as the subject matter is not complex, and you understand the format of argumentative essays, they are actually quite easy to do. Or am I just saying that because I am an experienced writer? Either way, drop a comment on this topic and let me know what you think of public nursing.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Is it acceptable for women to breastfeed in public? No

This essay serves as the voice against public nursing. For the side that supports public nursing, click here. Now that both sides of this subject matter have been explored, I am almost certain that you must be wondering how do I, Millennium Creek, feel about women breastfeeding in public? Well, it should not come as a surprise, but it surprises me that this is even a debate in the first place. As far as I am concerned, I do not know of any mother that would flagrantly expose their entire chest with the intention of creating shock and disgust. Virtually nobody would want to put themselves and their child in unnecessary danger. A mother nursing her infant should be treated as casually as somebody drinking from a water bottle to satisfy their thirst.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Should Canadians Be Required To Know Both French And English Upon High School Graduation? Yes

I honestly do not remember why I chose this as one of the subjects I wanted to cover for the essays part of the portfolio. I do remember going through lists of good topics to do for an argumentative essay. I do not recall specifically seeing anything titled “Should Canadians Be Required to Know Both French and English Upon High School Graduation?” I believe that I did run into something that had to do with language and bilingualism. From there, I decided to go with this one. Do you also agree that Canadians should know both languages by the time they graduate? Type your comments and let me know.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Should Canadians Be Required To Know Both French And English Upon High School Graduation? No

This essay serves as the voice that is against forced bilingualism on high school students. For the voice that supports it, click here. Do you agree with the points in this essay? I strongly suspect that most people would side with this voice, but I might be wrong? Let me know by leaving a comment. “Should Bilingualism Be A Graduation Requirement In Canada?” Perhaps would have been a nicer sounding title for these essays.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Is Technology Limiting Creativity? Yes

This is the 3rd and final topic for the argumentative essay part of the portfolio project of 2018. I came around to choosing this topic by browsing a list of good essay topics. Why this one in particular? Though you may very well know at this point that I am into electronics, it is also because of how interesting and thought-provocative it is. In fact, I honestly feared that I would not know how to go about writing this. Thankfully, it came through and I managed to get this side of the topic done. Do you agree that technology is limiting creativity? Comment and let me know.

Inspiration Behind This Essay: Is Technology Limiting Creativity? No

Now that the “No” voice of this essay topic is complete, this marks the completion of the essay part of my 2018 portfolio project. As explained on the “Yes” voice, my inspiration behind choosing this topic for an argument, was the result of two things:

1. Browsing through a list of topics to do for an argumentative essay
2. My love for technology

With that said, it is obvious that I believe technology is not limiting creativity. The problem is people themselves not knowing how to be creative, and where to draw their sources of inspiration. My own website, Millennium Creek, is a good example of creativity that would not have been possible without the appropriate technology in place. Do you also agree that technology is not limiting creativity? Or have you sided with the “Yes” voice? Comment and let me know. While some people would love a world without smartphones, computers and televisions, our lives would be significantly harder in too many ways.

Inspiration Behind This Creative Piece: Speech: Let It Become A Legal Requirement To Label Genetically Modified Organisms In Canada

I do not think I have ever written any speech of the sort before. Whether it be intended for school, work or business. The idea of writing a speech definitely brought feelings of uncertainty, but I still did not cancel the idea. The completion of this speech marks the first write-up of the Creative Writing part of my portfolio part. Why a speech? Why this topic? As to why I would want a speech, it is because I thought it would be a valuable, challenging write-up to have in my portfolio. As for my topic of choice, I simply searched around for good speech topics. Interestingly, what happens to be a good topic for persuasive essays, also happens to be an excellent topic for speeches. For that reason, it is no wonder I have seen some people go as far to call speeches “spoken essays”. What do you think? How do you feel about this topic? Comment and let me know.

Inspiration Behind This Creative Piece: Beautiful Blue Creek (Haiku)

A Haiku was originally going to be the first write-up for the Creative Writing part of my portfolio project. Instead, I opted to write a speech first, making this the 2nd writing in the category. Why a Haiku? The last time I have written a Haiku probably dates back to elementary school. Yes, that is indeed a frighteningly long time!

Much of the content on Millennium Creek tends to be articles or writings that often tip 1,000 words. Doing a short Haiku on creeks, felt refreshing and very different. I am quite a fan of the simplicity and beauty of Haiku. I may create more of them in 2019. For now, I will proceed to working on the next creative piece.

For those of you that absolutely love Haiku, I recommend you have a look at Basho: The Complete Haiku, On Haiku, and maybe this mug? Have you ever written a Haiku? Perhaps you frequently write Haiku? Comment and let me know.

Inspiration Behind This Creative Piece: Walk of the Wilderness

Is this a story? Or is it a poem? A poetic story? Those are the questions that frequently came up in my mind while I was writing this. Truth be told, this is supposed to be a “long poem”. It probably might not look like it to some, but that was the intention. It is neither a fictional or non-fiction story. Now because poetry admittedly is not my specialty, there may be some debates on how good it is, or how you might personally disagree with my classification of it this work. Walk of the Wilderness marks the 3rd creation of the Creative Writing part of my portfolio project. It was supposed to be the 2nd, but if you already read the “Inspirational” section of my Haiku, you will have the answer to why it is not.

So aside from creating this as a “look what I can do” sort of thing, you must be wondering about what the actual inspiration of this particular poem is, right? It happened when I tasked myself with the objective to complete a third Creative Writing piece. It was originally going to be a write-up of one of my real dreams. I could not decide which dream to write about. I did not want to waste too much time on it, because 2018 was coming to an end very soon. I wanted to get the Creative Writings done before Christmas. I then decided to just write one massive, story-like poem about a brief dream belonging to no one, themed around walking through the wilderness. I did not plan, nor even look at other poems for inspiration. I just threw myself in front of the keyboard, brainstormed the title, and wrote whatever came to my mind.

As anyone can tell, it is advisable to plan and get inspiration when writing poetry. It makes it more organized and refined. Or at least I think so. Well, I suppose writing whatever floats up also has its perks, too. Particularly, if you are trying to really flex that originality muscle. What did you think about this long poem? Think it does not deserved to be called such? Feels more like a story?

Inspiration Behind This Creative Piece: What Love is This?

This long piece falls into the same category of my previous Walk of the Wilderness, classifying as a long poem. If you view it as a series of short poetic stories, I will not blame you for seeing it that way. Now that aside, What Love Is This? is the 4th and final creation of the Creative Writing part of my portfolio project. What you will not know about this write-up, is the fact that it was not supposed to even come into being. In fact, I was originally going to stop the Creative Writing portfolio after writing #3. But suddenly, I felt a strong desire to create just one more long poem, before calling it complete. I am quite glad I did.

Why love? I figured that if I was going to write poems, that I had to do at least one love theme. Sounds like such a cliché thing to do, but the urge was strong. Very strong. Like Walk of the Wilderness, What Love Is This? was written in the same manner: placed myself in front of the keyboard, brainstormed a little, and just let my fingers do the rest. As a result, you may either find the poem adorable or creative, or very uncool.

Inspiration Behind The Product Descriptions From an Old Portfolio

I was originally going to start the 2019 portfolio project with the following writing categories: Blog posts and copywriting. I then had a change of heart and revised it to be product descriptions and copywriting, while making the blog posts optional. The reason is because I am going to be officially selling my services in the coming weeks. Likely in February, but possibly March. While my services have already been available for some time, I have never posted them officially and openly on social media.

Back in 2018, I completed articles, website critiques, argumentative essays, creative pieces, and the occasional blog post. Blog posts are nice and all, but they have not been a focus on Millennium Creek. I believe that getting product descriptions and copywriting into my portfolio sooner, would make it look far more attractive than common, regular blogs posts.

Seeing as though  I had already completed a write-up of original descriptions a few years ago, it made sense to tidy them up, and publish them as the first for this category. And yes, I am aware that writing product descriptions is a form of copywriting. By “copywriting” I have web pages in mind for the next category.

Inspiration Behind The 2019 Product Descriptions: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone XS Max Accessories

The completion of this makes it the 2nd write-up of the Product Descriptions part of the portfolio project. The 1st was Product Descriptions From an Old Portfolio. Creating these names and descriptions from scratch was no easy task. I took a look at Google Maps and other products to get an idea for names and certain technical details. Even then, it still took some work. Nevertheless, completing this gave me some valuable experience and insight about product copy.

Why the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone XS Max? Those two are among the most recognizable high-end devices in the world, making them a sensible choice to write portfolio descriptions for. Of course, there are many other fantastic devices out there. Some of which you can argue are even better. And finally, I would love to know what your top three picks would be if these products were real. Comment down below.

Inspiration Behind The 2019 Product Descriptions: Kaskawulsh Men’s Fashion

Fashion is a big deal because you have to wear clothes. You have to protect your body from the elements of the outdoors. And most obviously, you do not want to violate laws of indecency. Some people care greatly about looking stylish. Others value comfort, while some prefer to just buy whatever is affordable and necessary. The world of fashion is truly, very broad. I could have done men’s luxury fashion, women’s fashion, children’s fashion, ethnic fashion, and many more. For this portfolio piece, I decided to go with an imaginary, upscale brand that is not too expensive for the masses, but is not very cheap either.

Which of these products would you buy if they were real? Comment down below and share your interests.

Inspiration Behind The 2019 Product Descriptions: Cielistellati Fine Musical Instruments

My love for musical instruments. That is the driving reason behind choosing this as the 4th and final subject for the Product Descriptions category of the portfolio project. Woodwinds, brass, orchestral strings, percussion, keyboards — they all have their unique strengths and voices. If Cielistellati instruments were real, and money were no barrier, which of these instruments would you buy? I have a deep feeling that 95% of population would pick piano or violin. Prove me wrong by commenting on what your choice would be. Even if it is piano and violin, there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Both are beautiful when played by musicians who have been trained properly.

For those of you who are Italian, or at least understand the language, Cielistellati comes from the Italian words “cieli stellati” meaning starry skies. Your eyes would indeed be starry with the craftsmanship and sound quality of these instruments, if they were real.

Inspiration Behind The Webpages Of Laurentian Wireless

Every website obviously has webpages. Does every website have good pages? Unfortunately, they do not. I wanted to have a knack at writing webpages. I went ahead to test my webpage content writing skills with this category of the portfolio project. The reason why I chose a wireless carrier, will not be a surprise to any readers who have read most of my write-ups. (Love for smartphones and other electronics!)

Now finally, if Laurentian Wireless were a real company, would you subscribe to them? Or would you prefer to stick to Telus, Koodo, Rogers, Fido, Bell, Virgin Mobile or Freedom Mobile? Comment down below and let me know. I would also like to know what you think of this write-up. Should I have included certain details within pages that I missed? Your constructive feedback is very important to me.

Inspiration Behind The Webpages Red Maple Greater Toronto Area Home Renovation Group

Red Maple Greater Toronto Area Home Renovation Group (Red Maple GTA HRG) is the second write-up within the webpages category of the portfolio project. We all need a good, clean, peaceful house to dwell in. Therefore, this makes home renovation an extremely big industry. So big, that it was only natural that I would include it as one of the 5 webpage topics to go with. And because I am based in Ontario, I chose to go with an Ontarian-themed, imaginary example company.

Inspiration Behind The Webpages Of Wonder Food of 6 Worlds Restaurant

Wonder Food of 6 Worlds Restaurant (WF6WR) is the third write-up within the webpages category of the portfolio project. Not only is the hospitality and tourism industry interesting, it is a huge sector of commerce. When coming up with an imaginary example company, I knew I wanted to include a restaurant, but was not too sure of which theme to go with. Thinking of all the ethnic restaurants around me, I decided to go with a unique, multi-ethnic theme. A little challenging, but I like how it turned out.

Inspiration Behind The Webpages Of Seaforth Serpents

Seaforth Serpents is the fourth write-up within the webpages category of the portfolio project. People love their pets, particularly cats and dogs. While cats and dogs are popular and all, I wanted to go with something a little more niche for the 4th write-up of this area: reptiles, particularly snakes. I originally expected this piece to be quick and easy to type, but it proved me wrong. Animal shop websites actually have a lot of important text that needs to be on their webpages, or you risk numerous complications. Still, I personally love reptiles, so writing this was not uninteresting.

Inspiration Behind The Webpages Of Thunder Things Automotive Group

Thunder Things Automotive Group (TTAG) is the fifth and final write-up within the webpages category of the portfolio project. As mentioned in earlier automotive writings, I love all-electric vehicles, making this a very alluring choice to go with. TTAG may be an imaginary example company, but I really would like to see Canada create its own home-grown brand soon.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: “Maseromeo” What If Maserati And Alfa Romeo Merged Into One Brand?

As mentioned within the first paragraph of this post, this was originally intended to be a blog post written shortly after completing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: June 2018 Discussion. Why did I still bother with it? Because it was too interesting of a discussion to throw off. Both Maserati and Alfa Romeo are internationally recognized brands that can stir up a variety of emotions.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: The Truth About Alfa Romeo’s Logo Surprised Me Greatly

My inspiration for this blog post is summed up perfectly within the first paragraph of this post: stumbled across an image with text about the logo, thus leading to me creating an entry all about it.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: Do I Believe There Is Life On Other Planets?

Without a doubt, the other celestial bodies around us are extremely fascinating. Some believe there is, or was life at some point on them. Others, such as myself, believe they never had or will ever be capable of supporting life. As such, I wanted to create a blog post entirely dedicated to this, and why they cannot support life.

Inspiration Behind This Blog Post: Remote Work Is Not Nonsense; It Is The Way

This blog post may very well be the most passionate-driven entry posted on Millennium Creek. Being someone who believes strongly in remote work, I felt as though I was called to do this when I saw someone write remote work off as nonsense on Twitter. Within the post, I go into plenty of detail about what remote work is and is not.

Feeling Inspired?

This was a ton of text to go through, but I do hope that you managed to read it all. And most importantly, I hope it left you feeling inspired to take some action of the sort. Whether it be reading the write-ups they link to, or creating a write-up inspired from them.

About Us

What does Mexican, Jamaican, French, Italian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Japanese food have in common? “They are all incredibly tasty!” is what you might say. And that is because the average Canadian has eaten something from most, or all of those nationalities mentioned. As a result of their popularity, the cuisine from these countries can be found very easily in most major, urban centres. Awesome! This means that international food is not a rarity. But, what about those other lesser known dishes from around the world? This is where we come in hand at Wonder Food of 6 Worlds Restaurant, Here, we serve Canadian indigenous, Bolivian, Cameroonian, Estonian, Laotian, and Fijian cuisine.

Founding Story

Wonder Food Of 6 Worlds was founded by its present owner, Waaseyaa Clérisseau in 2010. Being born to an Ojibwe mother, and French Canadian father in a multicultural city like Ottawa, Clérisseau has been exposed through a variety of cultures throughout his life. Being a hands-on person, Clérisseau particularly enjoyed cooking. This made it a  natural choice for him to enroll in and graduate from the School of Hospitality and Tourism at Algonquin College. He did not let it just stop there. He did not want to just simply work at any “regular” restaurant; he wanted to start his own. Being a cultural person, Clérisseau decided to go with a theme that focused on a variety ethnic dishes. Knowing that there are already several restaurants in Ottawa that cater to ethnic cuisine, he wanted to stand out from the pack. He did this by focusing on dishes from the lesser known parts of world.

Canadian indigenous, Bolivian, Cameroonian, Estonian, Laotian, and Fijian were the choices he went with. Due to both the facts that all those nations have little to no existence in the Canadian restaurant scene, and that they all hail from different continents, it led to the title Wonder Food of 6 Worlds Restaurant. A brilliant way to reference the fact they come from all the continents (minus Antarctica!), and are rare or non-existent in Canada.

Location

Wonder Food Of 6 Worlds Restaurant is located at 412 River Road Gloucester, Ontario K1V 1C9 45.310288, -75.693559. While the location seems a bit off from the city centre, it is strategically located on undeveloped land that allowed for a spacious restaurant to be built. It is also located directly east of the Rideau river, yet also close to the Ottawa International Airport.

Reservations

Want to get a table reserved? Limited reservations are accepted. Please call for availability.

Food

Authenticity is key to ethnic food. And though anyone can be trained to cook food from backgrounds outside of their cultural background, those that have been born and brought up in a specific culture, will always have a unique advantage over somebody that has been trained outside that culture. They have been exposed to the ways, sounds, tastes, and sights extensively of [culture name]. This gives them extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of not only their food, but a better and deeper understanding of it. At Wonder Food of 6 Worlds Restaurant, chefs Dakaasin Gichigami, Asiru Mamani, Nzo Midoukna, Jürgen Võigemast, Dao Sayakumane, and Uciwai Niumataiwalu are employed as the leading chefs for each the “6 worlds” to ensure you get the best of these worlds. Even when they are off duty, the other chefs employed for the department of their world, will ensure that you get that specific taste you crave!

Indigenous Canadian Cuisine

It is all too easy to get caught up into trying everyone’s food but your own. That is not the case here. Enjoy aboriginal dishes that can include Ontario-grown pumpkins, corn, squash, potatoes, roots, wildflowers and other tasty Ontarian greens. And of course, deer, elk and plenty of fish are options that can be combined added as well. Desert? Hardened maple syrup goods, various berries or other fruits are your refreshing options.

Bolivian Cuisine

Bolivian cuisine is interesting in that it is a blend of Spanish and Indigenous Aymara ingredients. This makes for an exotic blend of two worlds. Corn, potatoes, beans, and quinoa are often combined with staples introduced from the Spaniards such as rice, wheat, chicken, and beef. Plato paceño, majadito, salteñas and Pique a lo Macho are some of the things served here.

Cameroonian Cuisine

Due to Cameroon’s “cross roads” geographic location, 250+ ethnic groups, as well as influence from the English and French, Cameroonian cuisine can be some of most variable on the African continent. Nevertheless, yams, plantain, potatoes, maize, sweet potatoes, beans, millet and various other vegetables remain the staples of Cameroonian food. At 6 Worlds, you can expect to enjoy the famous ndolé, as well as ekwang, sese plaintains, kati kati, koki corn, scotch eggs, and many other savory Cameroonian goodness.

Estonian Cuisine

Most of world’s recognized and well-loved dishes come from Europe. Primarily the west and Mediterranean that is. Estonian food is rarity that you almost certainly will not ever try. That is unless you go out of your way to seek such niche shops or recipes that specialize in it. Rye bread, potatoes, dairy products, fish and other meat are the staples of this Baltic nation’s cuisine. Not exciting? Just try kiluvõileib, mulgipuder, Estonian-style potato salad, and then you will have a better appreciation for it. Oh, and their desserts! Kama desserts are the most iconic and possibly tastiest desserts of Estonia.

Laotian Cuisine

Say Hellao to Lao food! No, not Vietnamese, not Thai, Lao. Laos is a landlocked country that happens to be located between the two countries just mentioned. Both of which have well-loved and recognized food from all other. Lao food is thankfully not ultra rare, but certainly not as popular as other Eastern Asian countries either. Now what makes Lao food so special? Two words: sticky rice. While you might be thinking that it is not a surprise that rice plays a big role in this region of Asia, it is particularly their high usage of sticky rice that sets them apart from all the other countries. As prominent as it is though, you also enjoy various other Lao dishes at 6 Worlds, such as laap, jeow bong, khao piak sen, tam mak and other lovely Lao goodies.

Fijian Cuisine

Fiji is likely an island seen more as a tropical Pacific getaway, rather than a food hub. Truth is, it offers both great food and scenery! Fiji’s traditional cuisine consists largely of produce grown on their island. As you can expect, their appetizing dishes are often made from seafood, coconuts, root vegetables like cassava and taro, citrus fruits and local meats. At 6 worlds, we offer kokoda, palusami, taro, nama and various other Fijian dishes involving rice, coconut, fish, seaweeds and other combinations.
