I remember how we used to surround the vendor's large wok as he tossed crispy potato fingers in honey, sauces, and vegetables.

Fresh off a Singapore Airlines flight from the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, I'm still buzzing (pun intended) from a truly epic culinary adventure. This wasn't your average restaurant hopping – I went on a two-day food coma through the World's Longest Lunch and the World's Longest Brunch, and let me tell you, it was a marathon, not a sprint, for the senses.
