Hi Lili. Unfortunately we got there via our own car. I have heard there is a bus stop right outside the restaurant. On a Sunday it only took us 15 minutes to get there. Good luck and tell me how it goes!

Hi Frances,

I really want to visit Las Talas del Entrerriano after reading your review but I do not drive.
Is there ANY way to get there, do you think, via train/bus?
I have a high tolerance for discomfort when it comes to transportation…food looks so worth it…

Thanks,

Lili

Hi there Frances,

Have you ever been to Casa Coupage? We are debating between there and Aramburu?

Thank you!!!

Hi,

My name is Becky Wilcox and I would love the opportunity to write on thelostasian.com. I love to blog and prefer to do so on a verity of sites vs a single location. I just like the idea of reaching a wide range of readers.

Please let me know if you ever entertain this type of thing. If you do, be sure to let me know your guidelines. I would love to hear more.

Thanks so much
Becky

Hi! I was doing some websurfing and I found your blog. I’m thinking of going to BA for about a month by myself. Is it safe for a single Asian woman? Also, are there any areas that you would recommend renting an apartment? I think that might be cheaper than staying in a hotel or hostel…would love any feedback you can give me. Thanks!

Hi frances,
I had dinner with angela the other day and she said I should meet you and find out more about your acupuncture services. I´m in buenos aires now and through next week – we probably know a few people in common. I will also be checking our natural deli in canitas, if thats a good place to meet.
saludos,
sandra

I’ve been reading your notes while at work. I also enjoy a lot getting to know new and out of the blue places, enjoy food and talking to people asking if I may get some recipe!
Are you staying here in Argentina for long? Hope to go discover some lunch/dinner place together!
Take care,
Helen.

I don’t know if I posted this too late and if you are still here but you can buy it in Casa China in Chinatown in Belgrano. I hope that helps!

Hi,
I’m staying at the San Telmo Guesthouse. Angela mentioned your blog tonight, and I’m very glad she did! Do you know where I could buy some matcha (green tea powder)? There isn’t much culinary diversity in Paraguay, so I’d really like to get some matcha before we travel home.

Thanks for posting so many great reviews! Your blog is very thorough.

Hola Frances!
I really enjoy reading about your adventures in Buenos Aires. Great blog! And I love your photos! I like photography and I wanted to know what kind of camera you use. I hope you find this well.

I’m happy you enjoyed it. Will you guys be traveling to Buenos Aires?

Michael - May 10, 2011 - 6:42 am

Hi Frances,

Great site. I came across it while searching for options for the inevitable Asian food craving my fiance and I get while traveling. I was happy to see that there seem to be some good RBM (rice-based meal) options. Living in San Francisco, it was also great to see references to some local favorites like Saigon Sandwich and Pizzeria Delfina. With all the recommendations I feel like we owe you something and, while the dry fried chicken wings from San Tung probably wouldn’t travel that well, let us know if there is anything we can bring you from San Francisco.

Hello!

After reading your blog, I am truly inspired. I am a student at the University of California, Irvine and I am currently planning a 3 month trip to Buenos Aires for June of this year. I was hoping to chronical my journey and possibility publish the details of my experience as an African-American, vegetarian and politically left-leaning woman in a nation that is historically not quite any of those things. I just wanted to learn more of your background information, and how you found yourself blogging about life in Argentina. What are some of the things I can do to have a successful travel blog, and maybe get my blog featured on major news sites, etc..? I would really appreciate any advice you can give, as well as any contacts you would be able to provide.

Thanks so much!

Asia
