The Best Countries for Cheap and Delicious Food in Asia

Some people don't want to spend a lot of budget on travel and food while traveling. I have a suggestion that travelers take a trip to countries where have an inexpensive cost of living. There is affordable, rich, and enjoyable food in street food and restaurants in various cities. Travelers can spend their expenses efficiently, and they will enjoy delicious food. Asian cuisines are very tasty that people cannot stop to eat. The majority of staple food in Asia is Rice, Wheat, and Noodles. Eaters are very pleased to experience different cultural food and make good memories of tasty meals. Therefore, I will guide you about food in Asian countries, such as Thailand, China, and Vietnam.

Thailand

Thailand is so popular for international tourists, and it is the best place to visit in the world. There are many exciting street foods that you can find. The food price in Thailand is cheaper than in the Western world. In Thai culture, the Thai word "food" literally means "to eat rice." Thai cuisine has many interesting choices, including Tom Yum Kung, Pad Thai, Som Tam, and Khao Soi. The important materials are sour lime, savory fish sauce, hot chili, sea salt, coconut milk, and palm sugar. They influence eaters to feel very impressed when tasting the food. The main tastes of Thai cuisine consist of spicy, crunchy, chewy, slippery, sour and salty all in one dish.

China

The land area of China is very big as similar to the U.S., and it consists of six regions, including Northern, Northeastern, Eastern, Southern, Southwestern, and Northwestern. There are very different cuisines in China. In Chinese culture, people tend to ask others, "Have you eaten yet" when they greet each other. The Chinese consider that meals are very important in their lives. The food price is cheap. The Chinese don't just cook and sell anything, but they also make it taste great for giving happiness. In some regions, the major taste is very spicy or sweet. In Southeastern, savory dishes make tastes like light sweetness, tiny saltiness, and aromatic flavors. The recommendations of the Chinese menu are Sweet and sour pork, Dim Sum, Roast suckling pig, Peking duck, Xiaolongbao, and Wonton.

Vietnam

After the end of the French colonial empire, Vietnamese cuisine became a mixed cuisine and was steeped in tradition, including an amalgamation of Chinese and French cooking techniques applied to local ingredients. Mostly, Vietnamese people are concerned about the healthiest meals unlike other Asian countries. The main meals include a lot of vegetables, herbs, rice, shrimp, fish, and fruits. The food price is very cheap at least 1 USD per dish. The famous and popular menu in Vietnam is Banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), Pho (Noodle soup with meals, onions, Thai basils, and herbs), and Goi Cuon (Vietnamese spring roll or fresh roll). The food mainly tastes sweet, lightly salty, and softly spicy. The Vietnamese drink is suggested that drinkers will feel fresher. The menu of drinks is Iced Vietnamese Coffee and Fruit Smoothie.
