The clam chowdah at Gilbert’s Chowder House in Portland, Maine
After a fun excursion to see Fort Scammell (a Third System Maritime Port commissioned by the US Army in the lead up to the Civil War), we docked right next to Gilbert’s Chowder House, where Julie and I and a few people from the boat ended up sharing a table.
The two other men got the Seafood Chowder (fancy with lobster claw, crab, haddock and clams) while I got the clam chowder. There was a period of time when clam chowder was my soup of choice but a series of bad ones soured me on them. It’s probably been 5-7 years since I last had one.
So I can’t honestly compare but I can definitely say that this one was excellent. The base was delicious and well seasoned with bacon and clam broth, the clam were cut fine (the way I like them - I don’t want big bellied clams in my chowder) and the potato was plentiful and perfectly cooked.
Honestly one try of the best things I’ve had in Maine, and washed down with a Capt’n Eli’s root beer (brewed in Portland). Very satisfying lunch. Julie had the BL-T (no tomatoes for her) and enjoyed it.
Highly recommended with a nice port side deck (not a huge view but you are by the water)

![Busana aktor China He Yu dalam drama sejarah terbarunya, Reborn of the Rightful, menjadi perbincangan hangat di kalangan netizen Korea. Sebuah postingan viral di situs Theqoo yang nyaris tembus 1000 komentar bicarakan kostum yang dikenakannya dinilai memiliki kemiripan dengan busana tradisional Korea, hanbok, sehingga memicu perdebatan mengenai representasi budaya dalam drama sejarah China.
Dalam foto yang beredar, He Yu terlihat mengenakan jubah panjang berwarna biru tua dengan sulaman naga di bagian dada dan lengan, kerah putih yang menyilang, serta topi hitam. Penampilannya sebagai Xiao Jingxi dalam drama tersebut menarik perhatian karena sejumlah netizen Korea menilai potongan kerah dan keseluruhan desain busananya mengingatkan mereka pada pakaian kerajaan Korea pada masa Dinasti Joseon.
Berikut beberapa komentar KNetz:
1. Banyak banget busana tradisional China yang bagus, lho. Hadeh...
2. Busana ini benar-benar terlihat seperti pakaian Korea.
3. Mereka punya pakaian tradisional sendiri yang bagus, jadi kenapa harus seperti ini? Aku benar-benar nggak mengerti.
4. Kerah bajunya juga terlihat sangat mirip dengan pakaian Korea. Kenapa harus mengambil milik negara lain?
5. Kalau dilihat orang asing, ini malah kelihatan seperti drama Korea.
6. Kalau memang itu pakaian dari Dinasti Ming, wajar kalau ada kemiripan dengan busana Korea.
7. Aku penasaran, kenapa mereka terus melakukan hal seperti ini? Padahal sejarah China panjang dan gaya pakaiannya juga beragam.
8. Bukannya gonryongpo juga awalnya berasal dari China dan kemudian memengaruhi negara-negara di sekitarnya? Tapi bukankah setiap negara kemudian menyesuaikannya dengan karakteristik masing-masing?
9. Menurutku, bagian kerah putih dan hiasan naganya terlihat agak janggal jika dipadukan seperti itu.
10. Mereka juga pasti tahu kalau hanbok itu indah, ya. ㅋㅋㅋ
Bagaimana pendapat kalian?
