Nang Loeng Market is an ideal place to find traditional street food dishes such as Vietnamese banh xeo crepes, sai krok pla name (rice sausage eaten with dried fish crumbs and wrapped in lettuce), and green curry, all while breathing in ancient sites from Bangkok’s past.

Coconuts can be found everywhere on this island, and its widespread availability is shown off with this dish. Made spicy with chili peppers and flavored with red onions, you’ll find pol sambol served as a side dish alongside many other classic dishes.
It’s impossible to visit Sri Lanka without having some curry. The most popular way that it is consumed on the island is in a preparation with fish, which is generally spicy and served with sides like rice and pol sambol.

]]>Here are some questions to research before dining out abroad.
One big obstacle to eating out while on trips abroad is a lack of knowledge about typical meal times. Many Americans have been frustrated when realizing that no restaurants in Spain are open and serving dinner at 6:30 pm, for example. Do your research and know when the locals eat!
Let’s be honest, here. No one travels to Medellin to eat hamburgers or to Tokyo to eat pizza. One important thing that will help you decide what types of restaurants to seek out and what dishes to order is simply by finding out a little bit about local cuisines and specialties.
In some countries, diners aren’t expected to leave a gratuity for servers and waitstaff, while in others, up to a 20 or 25% tip is considered normal if you receive good service. Knowing the expectations for tipping wherever you travel is important if you want to avoid an awkward situation.

]]>Ever wondered how to spot one of these restaurants from the outside? Here are three simple tips that will tell you to run far away, fast.
We hate to say it, but if a restaurant feels the need to send a worker out to the street to try to get diners to come in, it’s probably not worth eating at. Restaurants that are good in touristy areas will fill up quickly without any kind of pushy advertising being needed.
Be sure to check out the menu of any restaurant before choosing to eat there. And if you see stock photos of food on the menu, run far, far away! This means that the food that will be served to you will look completely different, and if not, it probably comes out of a box and is heated up in the microwave.
It’s completely reasonable to expect to spend a little bit more if dining at a place in a heavily-trafficked area, but it doesn’t make any sense to pay $20 for a cheese pizza. Prices like this usually apply to restaurants where the food isn’t that good, anyway.

]]>Saru is a Michelin Guide recommended sushi restaurant, so you know that it is going to be a super high-quality place that uses the best ingredients possible.

]]>This is probably the most common dessert in Hawaii, and you can find it at luaus, restaurants, even on top of regular wedding cakes. Haupia is a coconut-based custard that is usually topped with flaked coconut, but can also be served with pineapple, made into chocolate versions, and beyond!

Lilikoi chiffon pie is unlike any other pie you’ll probably taste. It combines amazing, flaky pastry with a sweet and sour passion fruit filling and topped with chantilly cream or something of the like. It’s like, zingy, sweet, and totally encompasses Hawaii in a pie.
