Allright, so this is a looooooooong subject and, a thing that i did enjoy like crazy, in some of the lovely country`s i was in.
But here, are some of the high lights in the different places.
Thailand:
Well bangkok is deffently the mother of street food.
There everything to get here, but deffently the thai sausages, are some of the best sausages you will fint.
Dont miss out on shrimpcakes, with whole tiny shrimps, battered and deep fried with chilisauce.
The endless variation of meat`s on skewers, (the ass of the chicken is some of the best).
Bananapancakes, sold on the streets are also very interresting, thin, crispy and not to sweet, drizzled with kondenced milk and cashews are the best.
Cambodia.
Fresh spring rolles, tuff in the good way ricepaiper, with various stuffings, vegetarian ore filled with meat`s ore seafood.
In Seam Reap I found this old guy serving theese fried savory ricecakes, with a spinach tasting filling.
Pretty good, but the real gold here, was the perfect combination of 3 condiments, that ballanced out perfectly, savory, rich, spicy and sweet in a perfect balance.
Snacking on sugarcane also became a favorite.
And dont miss out on amok, fish ore meats cooked in coconuts, with different types of spices.
Vietnam.
PHO, first thing I ate coming to saigon, perfect balanced beef based soup, with a subtle background taste of fish sauce and cinnamon (cassia bark). I went all in and got with braised beef, raw and meatballs is the soup.
Noodles, veggie`s and round 8 different condiments, to finish of the soup yourself, and a plate of differerent herb`s is served with this delicius classic from the vietnamese kitchen.
BÛN CHâ:
This northern specialty based on grilled pork and meatballs, are served with thin cold noodles, and a quite sweet broth, and again, loads of fresh herbs and green`s.
Both dishes are best found on the streets, with little vendor`s only doing one dish.
Sitting on kindergarden chairs, on small small tables, slurping in the noodles with locals, is a great experience.
Wonton`s in hoi an:
Known to have some of the best local food in vietnam, Hoi An had some good stuff.
Wontons, cau lau (broth, dense noodles, herbs and dough fritters) and white rose (chopped shrimp dumbling). are some of the specialty`s.
Also seafood in vietnams coastal villages are among the best.
Whole baby chargrilled babyshark was amazing, but stay away from the seasnails and konkyla`s, with tuff flesh and muddy taste, it wasn`t a hit.
Malaysia:
Pork buns. you get im all over the place, steamed dough filled with sweet reed bean paste, steamed minched pork ore braised glaced pork.
Try the glaced one`s, they are a perfect snack.
Rôti:
Indian style bread, with a special sauce. Oily but GREAT.
Congee:
you get it all over asia, but this breakfeast dish, is a riceporidge, the one i got here was made with pork, scallions and crispy garlic.
Borneo:
Well not a big streetfood scene here, but if in Kuching, go to the other side of the river, with the little boats, costing next to nothing. There`s a muslim food court here, and one of the guy`s are doing the most AMAZING sting ray.
cooked on a plancha, on a bananaleafe, and with a lit on, this steam, frie kind of method made a succulent, moist and delicius end result. topped with a veggie sauce made this one of my asian favorite places to eat.
I got it 3 times, and took everyone i meet on my way there.
Also laksa should be tasted.
Singapore:
Well endless good food, this is the city to eat as I did mention early in this blog.
Philipines:
Having been in some of the most amazing food coyntry`s in asia, the philipines did let me down a bit.
Other country`s are little meat, loads of veggie`s, here it seemed to be the other way around.
But but but, if you find yourself in cebu city, get your little backpacking ass to the chain (and yes I said chain) called CNT Lechon.
You`l find them in some of the big shoppingmall`s.
Having missed out to day`s in a row (cause it was sold out every time) i got my ass down there early in the morning.
Served with a bit of chili soy, and if you want sticky rice, you dig in with a plastic glove.
Melting in your mouth, this crumbling, crackling meat and skin of a suckling spitroasted pig, is beyond anything ive ever had. JUST GO THERE, but 500 grams of pork for breaky, was maby a bit to much, but you wont be sorry.
BEST PORK IN THE WORLD
Sissig:
National dish, simple as hell.
Chopped up boiled pork head, served on a sizzling platte, making the buttom layer crisp, leaving the top moist and greasy. and topped with a cracked egg.
Onions and other lovely things are hiding, give it a stir to cook the egg, and your golden.
quail egg:
Costing next to nothing, boiled still hot quails egg`s with a bit of salt, is a normal street snack here.
Also deepfried and battered are pretty good, but make sure theyre strait from the grease ore it`s not that good.
Pork intestine:
poached and deep fried, my friend leslie introduced me to this lovable goodness on my first meal in manila.
crispy, greasy and kind of meaty, served with vinigar and shallots, this was a surprise, and very very good.
Serve that to your mates, with beer and football and you got yourself a good night.
you get them grilled aswell, but that gives a more chevy result
.
Japan:
Well no street snacks, but well Ramen and sushi were some of the best things I had in this lovely country, eating raw octupus, squid guts, raw abelone (better cooked) and uni sushi are among some of the very different things i got here.
It did seem like they went a bit overboard on the wasabi to me some places, killing some off the lovely flavours off the often very sweet fish.
raw sardine sushi was introduced to me by a local, he said it was his favorite, and it was amazing, with a strong flavour, but not to fishy, it was some of the best sushi I have ever had.
Unfortunally, fugu was not in season, then i where there.
You gotta go in the cold months,
Shabu Shabu, is a kind of social fondu, made of to broths, loads of veggie`s you cook yourself, and thinly sliced meats. and off course, noodle`s.
Going with a bunch of CS`rs this was a perfect evening. eat and drink (from the whole card) for 90 minutes at a price around 250 Dkr. for Tokyo that is a cheap and cosy way of eating.
So all in all.
