Ah Prague, with its pretty architecture, glorious Vltava river, streets, history and lively nights– definitely a great city to visit if you’re in Europe. While the food scene offered some interesting tastes including some really good duck, sausages, and soups, how were the pistachios in Kafka’s city? Let’s find out !
So these pistachios are pretty popular, you see them everywhere. Marketing and recognizable packaging makes these quite popular, and there are quite a few reviews of them around the web. Are they good?
Mexico City is a really cool and huge place ! Last time we stayed in the historical center which is very practical for visiting historical sights. This time we bring you a pistachio review from a different neighbourhood, “Roma Norte”, a chill, eclectic, walkable, neighbourhood with plenty of nice food to try and hangouts to discover.
Myanmar was a very interesting place to visit. From beautiful golden temples such as the shwedagon in Yangon, to the ancient city of Bagan to trekking around Hsipaw, this country has a lot to offer especially in terms of culture and adventure. Today, we bring you a review of pistachios purchased from Yangon and snacked on during a train ride from Bucharest Romania, to Sofia Bulgaria. Presentation This bag of pistachios which we purchased from a small shop in the old town of Yangon is very flashy, colorful and inviting ! With its sparkly colors, happy pistachio cartoon character, and well sealed packaging, it makes us curious if the contents match. On the package, we can see some chinese text, some japanese text […]
Context Ah Salalah, a beautiful place in the south of Oman Dhofar region that is famous for its khareef season or monsoon which turns this region into lush and foggy greenery. A serene and dreamy landscape with windy roads that offer a respite from the heat and dryness generally found in other areas of this fantastic country. If you want to see camels, green hills, beautiful trees, and a welcoming city, hit up this Salalah in the southern tip of Oman! We tried a few different pistachios in Oman already, some really good iranian ones in Muscat, others that were pretty good from one of those mini supermarkets on the road, and today we are trying some from a more established […]
Hi Everyone, Today we are reviewing Nut Walker dry roasted and salted pistachios from the cool town of Pai, a nice stop in backpacker trail in the mountainous northern Thailand. We previously reviewed a few other pistachios in thailand including Pai, how do these compare?

It’s a product of thailand produced by Heritage Snacks & Foods Co which apparently also makes sunkist pistachios which we reviewed in a previous entry. The pistachios have about 4% sodium and the bag weighs 35g. Smell and visual aspect The […]
This is a quick review of Sunkist IN-SHELL Pistachios purchased in Thailand from a gas station in Huat Yai on the way to the beautiful island of Koh Lipe. These pistachios are apparently roasted and packaged in the Thailand but I suppose they are grown in California by Sunkist Growers Inc. What can we say about these pistachios ? The round can lets out a woody and earthy smell after pulling out the tab.. the size of the pistachios is medium with a number of big ones. The shells, a bit beat up and shiny seem to confirm the claim on the can that they are unbleached. Most pistachios are nicely open with some stray one. The taste is a […]
After the very sad experience of trying out pistachios in Vietnam, today we are reviewing two pistachios from the brand Trong Garden, found in both the countries of Laos & Thailand. The first pack of pistachios was found in a small store in the town of Viang Veng in Laos. We highly recommend spending sometime in Viang Veng, having a motorcycle ride around and witnessing the sheer beauty of the area. A lot has been said about Thailand but the ride from Pai to Chiang Mai was memorable, and relaxing on a beach in the island of Koh Lipe was quite nice especially if one is not into parties related to arbitrary moon cycles in other more populous islands. The second […]
