I’ve Been Traveling Across Asia for 10 Years. These Are the 3 Cities With the Best Food — and One That Disappointed Me.
What stemmed from a 10-day trip to Hong Kong in 2009 to visit my then-boyfriend blossomed into a love story with Asia. On my first foray into the East, I landed bright-eyed, eager, and entirely clueless. My welcome meal — a dim sum feast — was a revelation. With my now-husband…
