]]> With its white sandy beaches, holy temples, and exquisite palaces, Thailand is sure to provide a holistic getaway in the far east. Still, even with all of these sights and sounds, no visit to Thailand is complete without a visit to its crown jewel, Bangkok, where you’ll be sure to find the most scrumptious cuisine that the country has to offer. Here are some of the best outdoor food markets where you can shop and dine like a local!

Nang Loeng Market

Over 120 years old, the Nang Loeng Market was Thailand’s first land market. This iconic open-air market is located in the heart of Bangkok’s Old Town, home to historic temples, ruins, and museums. 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.

This market is open from 08:00 until 15:00 except for Sunday when it remains open until 17:00.

Khao San Road

If you’re in the mood for some late-night feasting while out on the town, then Khao San Road is sure to have all the food you could hope to indulge in. Filled with bars, hotels, and stores, this street comes to life once the sun goes down and all of the street food vendors come out to play. Whether you’re looking for a hearty Pad Thai or something sweet such as banana pancakes and fruit shakes, Khao San Road is sure to have something to tickle your tastebuds.

Khlong Toei Market

If you’re looking for an authentic, local food market experience, then Khlong Toei is the Bangkok market for you! This sprawling market is filled with street vendors offering an extensive array of goods, ranging from freshly-delivered fruits and vegetables to cooked traditional Thai dishes. What’s more, it’s open 24 hours, making it easy to fit in with your schedule.

]]> The Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka is an acclaimed destination due to its variety of beaches, natural attractions, and tropical weather. What you might not know about it, however, is that it also holds a fantastic culinary tradition and a number of tasty dishes that you should try. Here are three things you shouldn’t skip trying on your next trip to Sri Lanka!

Egg Hoppers

One of Sri Lanka’s most iconic dishes is the egg hopper, a small, thin pancake-like crust which contains a fried egg. As strange as it might look at sound, this dish, made with coconut milk and rice flour, is the perfect mixture of savory and sweet.

Pol Sambol

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.

Fish Curry

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.

]]> While you might think that you don’t need to do much in order to prepare for trips to restaurants in foreign countries, it’s actually hugely beneficial to do a little bit of studying before doing so. By doing this, you will become a little more familiar with some of the customs that govern dining out wherever you may be traveling to.

Here are some questions to research before dining out abroad.

Learn the Typical Meal Times

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!

Located in the centre of #stpetersburg, #Russia, Shana is a Mediterranean restaurant that eschews the typical iconography of rustic clichés often embraced by similar establishments for a cosy authenticity of well-worn elegance and crisp detailing. Established by restaurateur @uilliamlamberti and restaurant group @ginzaprojectspb, the eatery was designed by Ilya Gulyants @gulyants, interior designer and owner of @elborn_studio, and interior designer @katya_alagich as a reflection of its vibrant cuisine of casual sophistication. The designers paid particular attention to the décor’s details, from the selection of brass and glass light pendants, and the collection of paintings inspired by the modernist architecture of the old district of Jaffa in Tel Aviv, to the marble windowsills and the bespoke candlesticks on the tables. . . . . . #restaurant #restaurante #餐廳 #eatingout #interiordesign #interiordesigner #تصميمداخلي #設計 #дизийн #дизайнинтерьера #インテリア #designdeinteriores #innenarchitektur #dekorasyon #декор #designdeinteriores #interiores #interiør #интерьер #interiorstyling #interiorinspo #interieurontwerp #fromrussiawithlove

Explore Local Dishes

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.

Familiarize Yourself with Tipping Customs

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.

]]> Those of us who travel frequently know that it can be way too easy to get baited into eating at touristy restaurants that simply aren’t good. Combining mediocre food with poor service and high prices, these are definitely the restaurants that you want to avoid eating at while traveling.

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.

Workers Advertising the Restaurant in the Street

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.

Stock Photos of Food

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.

Exorbitant Prices for Normal Dishes

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.

]]> Asheville, North Carolina is such an amazing place to spend a weekend or more. One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that Asheville is a foodie haven, so when you come and you want to brunch, these are the spots you have to check out.

City Bakery

This unassuming spot actually has some of the best bread in Asheville. Their sourdough bagels are legendary, and the scallion cheddar biscuits are all you’ve ever dreamed of, and if you’re into high-quality, fast-casual, cheap food, this is the place for you.

Early Girl Eatery

This spot is super popular with tourists, but luckily, they have two locations outside of downtown that are much easier to get into. Whether you want to kick it at the West Asheville location or head to North Asheville for a bite, Early Girl is an affordable and delicious way to treat yourself.

Over Easy

This downtown spot can get crowded, but for good reason. Their food is so delicious and all locally sourced, which makes it an even more tempting spot. With a wide range of dishes that cover many different cuisines, Over Easy is a great place to feed a crowd.

]]> San Francisco has a major Japanese population, which is amazing for the food scene in the city. If you are going to be visiting San Fran, these are the Japanese restaurants that you have to go to that will completely change your view on Japanese cuisine.

Saru Sushi

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. What makes Saru’s food over the top is the attention they put into each aspect of making sushi. The rice they use is incredible and is grown in Japan, their selection of soy sauces is outstanding and includes one that is made in-house. So if you want a real sushi experience outside of Japan, this is the place to go.

Halu

Halu is a different kind of Japanese restaurant with a major twist. This restaurant is the ’60s, Beetle-inspired theme restaurant that isn’t too kitschy. The style of food they serve is also different as it’s yakitori and izakaya-style food rather than typical sushi. If you are in the mood to have fun some fun and eat expertly prepared meat, Halu is the place for you.

]]> Hawaii is arguably the coolest state in the US since it’s actually an archipelago of islands. But, a lot of people don’t know that the desserts there are out of control. If you’re ever lucky enough to go, you cannot miss out on trying these desserts!

Haupia

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!

Malasadas

Though they are actually Portuguese in origin, malasadas made their way to Hawaii through immigration and colonization. This dessert is super scrumptious as it is basically just a donut but made with much richer ingredients like evaporated milk and eggs. The other difference is that there is no hole and they are usually stuffed with sweet custards like haupia, making them even more decadent.

Lilikoi Chiffon Pie

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.

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.

Familiarize Yourself with Tipping Customs

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.

]]> Those of us who travel frequently know that it can be way too easy to get baited into eating at touristy restaurants that simply aren’t good. Combining mediocre food with poor service and high prices, these are definitely the restaurants that you want to avoid eating at while traveling.

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.

Workers Advertising the Restaurant in the Street

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.

Stock Photos of Food

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.

Exorbitant Prices for Normal Dishes

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.

]]> Asheville, North Carolina is such an amazing place to spend a weekend or more. One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that Asheville is a foodie haven, so when you come and you want to brunch, these are the spots you have to check out.

City Bakery

This unassuming spot actually has some of the best bread in Asheville. Their sourdough bagels are legendary, and the scallion cheddar biscuits are all you’ve ever dreamed of, and if you’re into high-quality, fast-casual, cheap food, this is the place for you.

Early Girl Eatery

This spot is super popular with tourists, but luckily, they have two locations outside of downtown that are much easier to get into. Whether you want to kick it at the West Asheville location or head to North Asheville for a bite, Early Girl is an affordable and delicious way to treat yourself.

Over Easy

This downtown spot can get crowded, but for good reason. Their food is so delicious and all locally sourced, which makes it an even more tempting spot. With a wide range of dishes that cover many different cuisines, Over Easy is a great place to feed a crowd.

]]> San Francisco has a major Japanese population, which is amazing for the food scene in the city. If you are going to be visiting San Fran, these are the Japanese restaurants that you have to go to that will completely change your view on Japanese cuisine.

Saru Sushi

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. What makes Saru’s food over the top is the attention they put into each aspect of making sushi. The rice they use is incredible and is grown in Japan, their selection of soy sauces is outstanding and includes one that is made in-house. So if you want a real sushi experience outside of Japan, this is the place to go.

Halu

Halu is a different kind of Japanese restaurant with a major twist. This restaurant is the ’60s, Beetle-inspired theme restaurant that isn’t too kitschy. The style of food they serve is also different as it’s yakitori and izakaya-style food rather than typical sushi. If you are in the mood to have fun some fun and eat expertly prepared meat, Halu is the place for you.

]]> Hawaii is arguably the coolest state in the US since it’s actually an archipelago of islands. But, a lot of people don’t know that the desserts there are out of control. If you’re ever lucky enough to go, you cannot miss out on trying these desserts!

Haupia

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!

Malasadas

Though they are actually Portuguese in origin, malasadas made their way to Hawaii through immigration and colonization. This dessert is super scrumptious as it is basically just a donut but made with much richer ingredients like evaporated milk and eggs. The other difference is that there is no hole and they are usually stuffed with sweet custards like haupia, making them even more decadent.

Lilikoi Chiffon Pie

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.
