The Good Life: The authentic city market

Cafe Na
Cafe Na (Koh Samui, Thailand) - My family stumbled upon this family owned restaurant during our trip to Bang Rak fish market Needless to say, the food at Cafe Na is as authentic as you can get in Koh Samui. We ate at Cafe Na for five days straight (out of my seven days in Koh Samui). The coo…
Rice and Beans
Rice & Beans (Paris) - The City of Light isn't exactly know for Mexican food but this funky joint just steps from Les Halles serves up some tasty burritos and tacos in a retro, convivial atmosphere.
Mosquee de Paris
Mosquee de Paris (Paris) - Parisians flock to The Great Mosque all year round to partake in the best steaming mint tea and North African pastries in the city. There is also a hammam for those interested in a full body massage treatment prior to relaxing in the outdoor patio teeming with a di…
Masuki Mami House
Masuki Mami House (Binondo, Manila) - Filipinos embrace this hole-in-a-wall noodle house in the oldest Chinatown in the world as if it's a national institution. Thin egg noodles are served in these tantalizing bowls of chicken stock with an accompanying asado sauce (Chinese-Filipino BBQ sauce).
Borough Market
The Borough Market (London) - You don't need to go far into the Borough Market to discover nirvana for the cost of a bottled water at one of London's fancier addresses. The Borough Market offers the widest selection of options from Spanish chorizos to the most amazing Montgomery cheese sandw…
Tong Pak Fu
Shaved layers upon layers of ice made with fruit juice base & milk is the rave in Asia and none is better than Taiwan-based Tong Pak Fu, located next to the mini bus terminal in the fishing village of Saikung in Hong Kong. Options range from matcha green tea, black sesame to Horlick's fl…
Cheeseboard Pizza
The Cheeseboard Pizza Collective (Berkeley, California) - I would argue that the daily pizza selection at this hopping Berkeley restaurant across Chez Panisse is the best slice of heaven in the US. A jazz band entertains while you wait in line (which is normally stretches around the corner) …
Sakaya Kitchen
Sakaya Kitchen (Miami) - This food truck standout on the streets of Miami has found a permanent home in the downtown district to serve up its famous ginger Brussels sprouts (pictured). Enjoy steam pork buns and KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in a communal setting that caters to corporate white c…
Goose The Market
Goose The Market (Indianapolis) - This corner epicurean and sandwich shop in the historic district of Indy is a gem of find especially after your first bite of their tribute sandwich to Mario Batali's family. The Batali is a baguette stuffed with capacolla, spicy coppa, soppresata, hot giard…

The Good Life: A guide to Koh Samui
I’ll give Koh Samui another five years before the rest of the world discovers this island nirvana off the eastern coast of Thailand. I toured around Koh Samui for a week on moped in search of the island’s most idyllic places to stay, eat and see.
