Halal BBQ Wagyu Beef at Satsuma Tanden Yoyogi - Tokyo, Japan


In our recent trip to Japan we did not want to leave the country without trying the tantalizing BBQ Yakiniku (Grilled Meat) spots seen often on videos on youtube, and luckily there were a couple restaurants offering halal meat! What a treat!

Flight Review: Eva Air Business Class 747-400 Manila to Taipei


View from the wing - Manila, Philippines.

On our recent trip across Asia, we were fortunate to experience business class flights due to our Aeroplan flight redemptions. Our flight was Manila to Hong Kong, but with a brief stopover in Taiwan on the way, so this was a short 2 hour flight between Manila and Taipei.

Hungry in Seoul: The Best Halal Korean Dosirak (Lunch Boxes) - BoA Travel House

Kimbap and Tteokbokki Dosirak

A few months ago in our Euro-Asian World Trip we headed to Seoul, South Korea in search for halal authentic Korean food. I watched tons of Youtubers eating Tteokbokki (a chewy spicy rice-noodle street food), kimbap (like a sandwich in sushi form), jajjangmyeon (black bean noodles traditionally with pork), and I desperately hoped we would find a few places which would offer these traditional dishes in a halal form.

Well, I'm happy to say our search was a HUGE success when we found out that BoA Travel House offered halal packed lunches (Dosirak) to go, with everything I was hoping to try! Woohoo! :D
