Germany’s most famous cake, the ‘Black Forest Cherry Torte,’ gets its name not directly from the Black Forest region but from the specialty alcohol of that region which is made from sour cherries. According to German law, this alcohol must be present in the cake for it to be called the Black Forest Cake. The cake has alternate layers of chocolate sponge cake, cherries and whipped cream and is topped with more cream, maraschino cherries and chocolate shavings. 

 

Germany has approximately 1,200 different types of sausages (or ‘wursts’ in the local language), of which one of the most famous ones is the Nuremberg Bratwurst. It is small, thin and light and typically made from veal, beef or pork. It is usually served at breakfast. There are more than 40 varieties of the Nuremberg sausage recipe. The name ‘Bratwurst’ is derived from the traditional ‘High German’ language meaning brat – finely chopped meat and wurst – sausage. However, in modern German it is associated with the verb ‘braten’ which means to pan fry or roast.

Cuon om, or vermicelli spring rolls. The stuffing, which includes tofu, pineapple, cucumber and other common herbs, creates a naturally sweet taste and a little bit of crunchiness.

Nasi Lemak is also one of the traditional dishes of Singapore. It is fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf.

 

I visited Singapore this summer; since I am a vegetarian I ate lots of egg fried rice and dumplings. I enjoyed it a lot!

Khao Niaow Ma Muang means Mango Sticky Rice in Thailand. Mango sticky rice is one of the most popular desserts in Thailand. This delicious treat can be found in street stalls and in restaurants around the country. The main ingredients are what you can find easily in Thailand- Mango, Sticky Rice and Coconut Milk. The combination together end up as a very tasty dessert that you can even eat as a wholesome snack.

The dish is served by putting the sticky rice on a Pandan leaf along with yellow mango and topped with coconut milk. Just as simple as that. 

I loved mango sticky rice so much that I even carried it back to Bombay to share with my grandparents.
In Thailand, there are also many fresh fruits like Passion fruit and Dragon fruit and Rambutan.
