Introduction
Asia is home to an abundance of amazing food. From the street markets in Thailand to the roadside vendors in Vietnam, you can find every kind of cuisine imaginable in this part of the world. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite local dishes!
Thailand
Thai food is very popular in the United States. It’s influenced by Chinese, Indian and Malaysian cuisine, so it has a wide range of flavors that can be quite spicy or not spicy at all. Thai food often comes with rice as a side dish and some types of noodles are also served alongside curries (a thick sauce made from coconut milk).
For this reason alone it’s worth trying out some Thai spots if you haven’t already done so!
Vietnam
Vietnamese food is delicious, and Vietnam is a great place to visit. If you haven’t been there yet, then you should go! The food is healthy and delicious, and there are many different kinds of dishes available that you can try.
The culture in Vietnam has so much history behind it with many things to see throughout the country. For example, their temples are very beautiful because they were built hundreds of years ago before modern technology existed (like smartphones). Also since the country was colonized by France during World War II they have French architecture mixed into their buildings as well as other European styles such as Gothic Revivalism which was popular during Victorian times (1837-1901).
Cambodia
Cambodian food is very diverse. It’s influenced by French, Chinese, Indian and Thai cuisine. The country has access to many varieties of seafood and has a long coastline.
Laos
Laos is a country in Southeast Asia, bordering Thailand and Vietnam. The food of Laos reflects its geographic location; it’s influenced by neighboring countries such as Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Lao cuisine is spicy and flavorful–and very affordable! You can get a delicious meal for under $5 USD at many restaurants throughout Vientiane (the capital city).
Indonesia
Indonesia is a big country with many different cultures and traditions. This can be seen in the food as well. Indonesian food has been influenced by Chinese, Indian, Arabic and European cuisine. Some examples of Indonesian dishes are:
- Nasi goreng (fried rice)
- Soto ayam (chicken soup)
- Gado-gado (salad with peanut sauce)
The food in Asia is amazing.
When you visit Asia, you will find that food is a big part of the culture. Food is everywhere in Asia and it’s cheap. You can buy street food on almost every street corner, so there’s no need to spend lots of money at fancy restaurants unless you want to. Some people say that eating out in Asia is cheaper than eating at home because there are so many places where you can get delicious meals for just a few dollars!
The best part about the food here though? The taste! It’s amazing how much different flavors each country has compared with other parts of the world; I’ve never tasted anything like this before!
Conclusion
The food in Asia is amazing. You can try so many different things and there is no way you will get bored. We hope this article has inspired you to go out and explore the world of Asian cuisine!
