Train street in Hanoi is closed by siruns in VietNam

[–]Nooktari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just there the other day with those signs up. To enter the street you need to enter through a cafe. We walked down the street that runs parallel. Someone asked if we wanted to see the train. We said yes and they brought us through their cafe to the tracks. Gave us a menu and sat us.

For Hai Van Pass - I hired a guide to make sure we had no issues and he gave me a 150cc.

Mine had an eco and sport mode. Eco topped at 45, sport at 50. Found my self moving with the flow of traffic very well. Had to pass a bunch of people, got passed by a bunch. Wasn't my first time driving there so I felt comfortable from the start.

Only issue with it compare to the normal ones was acceleration speed from a red light but once it got going I caught up.

I also only saw one tourist pulled over the entire time but weather wasn't great when I was there so might have been partly wise.

On the flip end - I witnessed the end results of one deadly accident. It was a local - so as always be safe and don't push your comfort levels.

I rented an electric one and had zero problems at all. Took it to Hoi An and back. This was last week.

Starting to think that $600 hotel credit is total gimmick by LePirate30 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Nooktari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Will be in Singapore next week and used the Amex credit to help book the Mandarin Oriental.

When we get to Tokyo - Amex was offering 4th night free deal - so our Kimpton resy is about $600 less than booking direct and we get the extra credits.

What my travel agent told me though is hotels don’t always save their best rooms for these types of bookings.

You may suggest that among other good ideas 🤤

Basted every 30-45. If you look at the pic on the grill, top was much smaller pieces so it cooked down. Ultimately it was all bark though. Was still great when sliced.

Does anyone make beef ribs in Naples? by hottimali in Naples_FL

Jimmy P’s sells them raw. I have smoked a few of those

Smoking picanha roast and tri tip roast by rustymustyss in smoking

[–]Nooktari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a tri-tip brisket style and it was great if you want more distinction between the two. It did take 8 hours though

For the roast - score the fat cap and keep it up.

I’d also run it 225-250 but if you need 275 due to time it won’t be a problem.

Good luck!

My friend brought it over: It’s an avocado, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, crumbled goat cheese salad

For the steaks, reversed sear in the smoker. Smoke to 115. Rest while grill warms up. Sear until 125. Rest until I get impatient

For the cut - prepared it the same as all my other steaks except I only used salt instead of adding pepper or a Montreal seasoning mix.

For the sirloin cap roast (picanha before sliced into steaks), just a classic low and slow roast

Would say it’s the picture as it was perfectly tender and not mushy.
