If you’re worried about cholera, then avoid vegetable products. Can’t guarantee how clean the water they were raised with was.

If you’re getting an item with meat, see it cooked in front of you.

This advice was primarily for Thailand, some years ago. Visited while still in the military. Was told I’d need more shots than a Rabies victim, if I got a mouthful of canal water.

The cooking advice was primarily for folks trying insects, though – vendors would simply collect bugs killed by pesticide sprays from the city, on medians and thoroughfares. If you gotta eat a creepy-crawly, make sure it’s ALIVE before cooking. A must!

Hi ajay! I remember a doctor-friend of mine who is also a travel buff once told me that when you go to other places (here or abroad), the first thing you must do is eat. And the best ones to eat are those cooked and sold in the streets. And that is what I have done during my travels abroad. I can still savor how delicious are the shwarmas, kabsa (chicken w/ biryani rice) in Riyadh and Jeddah and dimsum and noodles in Temple Street in Hongkong, to name a few. But here in Manila, I don’t know why I cannot eat street foods. Afraid of typhoid, perhaps

Now I feel so hungry, I really love the street/hawker food in S.E. Asia . Another couple of months and, hopefully, I will be able to eat it all the time

Another good piece Annalyn , a very enjoyable read and you certainly captured the fun and flavour that is hawker food ….fine dining on the street , no need for a fancy over priced restaurant . Keep it up .

Hey, how am I supposed to go back to Burjer King, after you posting a spread like this? Not fair!
