If you love trying new cuisines, then be sure to test out these street foods the next time you are in Asia.
Vada Pav – Mumbai, India
Vada pav, which originates in the state of Maharashtra and which is particularly popular in Mumbai, exemplifies the simple and popular street cuisine of the country. A potato mash is combined with ginger, chilis, garlic, coriander and mustard seed, deep-fried and then served on a buttered white bun with a chutney. It’s India’s answer to the burger—and it is equally delectable.
Pork Chop Bun – Macau, China
This is simply a pork chop in a bun. No lettuce, no mayo, no ketchup, no pickles. Just a chunk of meat in a piece of bread. Of course when it comes to food, simple is often best, and ingredients can be deceiving. The bun is crunchy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. And the crux of Macau’s favourite snack is a mouthwatering made-to-order pork chop, salty, juicy and dripping with flavour.
Tonkotsu Ramen – Fukuoka, Japan
To the Japanese, ramen, the instant noodle dish best known for keeping North American college students alive, is a lot more than dried noodles in a cardboard cup. Almost every region in Japan has a distinctive form of ramen. None, though, is as rich as tonkotsu ramen, a hearty and heavy variety that hails from the streets of Fukuoka. To achieve its creamy texture, pork bones and fat are boiled together for several hours and the broth is served with pickled ginger, garlic, pork belly and straight, thin wheat-flour noodles. Fukuoka, being Japan’s premier street food city and the home of the tonkotsu, is undoubtedly the best place to sample this famous Japanese dish.
