Peels Review: Peels ice cream and a new kind of resto listing

I think there are two holy grails in the world of food recipe review, and restaurant reviews. The first is a recipe that either a robot or another person knows you will love. Obviously this is not a recipe blog therefore I'm more interested in the other holy grail, which is how to best recommend restaurants to people. Yes, I know, some of this exists in the interwebs. They suck balls. Sorry, but that's true. If there's one good one, then everyone would use it. Let's look at the demographic breakdowns...

Pork shoulder test one

One of the things I realized after the start of this blog was that it was super difficult to force myself to write on certain days.

We started off at a popular stall that served up fish balls. It was a no frills kind of place and they had long tables with tiny benches so you had to share the space with other diners. They had a small kitchen which basically faced the alleyway and all the tourists who walk by can see what they have to offer. I guess they specialized in fish balls because look at how ginormous that thing of fish balls are! They got a...
