COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
Some items have achieved iconic status like Sabudana Ki Khichdi and Dahi Wada which are now must try food items.
Must try foods include green onion pancakes (flaky and chewy), barbecued corn (sweet and spicy), fish ball soup, fried quail eggs and, fried squid (think calamari, but loaded with onion and garlic).
My personal favorites are traditional chicken sticks with sweet / nuts sauce, fried rice “Nasi Goreng” or “Bakso” soup which you can get from the guy who drives with little “kitchen” on the bike.
While Pad Thai and Pork Satay are well known foods to order at Thai street stalls, we recommend trying fried pork with garlic and pepper (Moo Todd Kratiem Phrik) or a spicy basil and chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) with stir-fried noodles and chili sauce.
Pho Bo Kho is one of the heartiest and filling soups Saigon has on offer, with large chunks of slow simmered beef in a dark broth with carrots and onions.
On aspect of Beijing’s street food can be shocking for a first-time Western visitor. On the menu? …scorpions, pig penis, big fat water bugs and centipedes to mention just a few common delicacies.
