Most of our class time is learning about different cultures and cuisines but the best part of this trip is actually experiencing the food. The food I have eaten in Australia is some of the best I’ve ever had. The food is all fresh and tastes amazing. I like how the proportion sizes are smaller but still fills you up without making you feel sick after eating greasy food. The service here is so amazing and it’s not common to tip. One of my favorite meals so far is from a dumpling bar directly on the water. I got chicken soup dumplings and fried shrimp dumplings. They were the most flavorful dumplings I’ve ever had and tasted so fresh and homemade. I have tried many new foods that I would have never tried like raw fish and steak and different types of vegetables and I’m pleased to say I’ve enjoyed most of them! (Submitted on January 15, 2024)
