The many dishes of Asia


When in Asia I highly recommend trying these foods/snacks or else you’re missing out

1.      Pho: Vietnam

-          In nearly every restaurant in Vietnam you will find Pho on the menu, this noddle soup dish is a favourite amongst the locals. It can be made with either chicken or beef but can be made without meat if you're vegetarian.



2.      Num Pang Cambodian Sandwich

-          If you don’t want to stray too far from Western food then this sandwich is for you. This sandwich is traditionally made from ham or pork and served with cucumber, chives, onions and carrots, it can easily be bought from many street venders carts.

3.      Sticky rice and Mango: Thailand

-          This traditional Thai dessert was a favourite of mine. Made simply with glutinous rice which is typically grown in South and East Asia, fresh mangos and coconut rice. I loved it so much I learned how to make it myself from the goodfood website linked here.

4.      Mie Goreng: Indonesia

-          Mie Goreng also referred to as Bakmi Goreng is a flavour filled fried noodle dish usually served with either chicken, beef or prawns. It is very popular and can be found in almost all restaurants in Indonesia.



5.      Scorpion/Spider: Thailand

-          If you really want to step out of your comfort zone then I highly recommend trying one of the various insect you can find from street vendors in Thailand especially a Scorpion or a Spider if you’re looking to be really adventurous. I myself tried a Scorpion and can tell you it does not taste like chicken, you can see my reaction in the video below, enjoy:
