I just randomly thought, when you are over in a foreign country, there are like probably heaps of foods that you havent had before, so i thought that maybe a thread of different types of foods that are a must eat when traveling. =]

yeah cause when i was over in America, there were like heaps of fast food restaurants that ived never heard of before. i was so lost. theres like heaps like Wendy's, In-And-Out and many others which i cant remember anymore. ><"

but i know in Perth, WA
a must eat is ICY ICE! apparently we only have it here. hahaha

hopefully this thread works out. =]

hahaha well i'm from America sooo I can only think of American cities:

NYC: go to Dos Caminos!! Food is so mexican style, but upscale. Expect to pay around $30+ each. apparently, people go there for the chips and homemade guacamole, and sangrias (for the 21 and up!! )

Also go to Red Mango, which is the original Pinkberry. They have these in CA too, and of course, in Korea!! yummy yogurt frozen treat with toppings like fresh fruit and cereals... Plus, apparently Pinkberrys yogurt is not real yogurt because it does not have enough cultures in it, which is why it doesnt taste as tart.

MARYLAND: GO TO FRACTURED PRUNE!! best best best doughnuts ever, and baked fresh to order.

Where I live, in Holland, you have to try the raw herring with onions. They're delicious if you don't eat a whole lot and it's always funny to see tourists' faces whenever they see someone eating a raw fish the 'dutch way'

But when I go back to M'sia, I absolutely love the satay in Kajang, nasi lemak, roti canai and pretty much everything =D

Just try to taste the local foods and you'll be pleasently surprised (most of the time)!

[V A L XD]

When my cousins visited from Holland, the must try food was PHO! lol
'cause in Holland, they don't get to get vietnamese food often so they often crave for the homemade kinds.

When I travel to a whole bunch of different countries, I like to try all their foods

[precious4e]

NYC must haves are street stand foods (hot dogs, roasted peanuts, fishball and rice noodle, halaal) and PIZZA. NYC pizza is the best in the entire world I swear.

But pretty much you can get any type of food here. So if there is a type of cuisine you don't have in your hometown and you want to try it, you can get it in NYC.

yep Icey Ice is a must eat, for those who dont know what it is, it is like flavored shaved ice, its not like one of those deserts where its shaved iced and then added with some syrup thingy, Icey Ice is different. =]
the flavor of the desert is already made into an ice cube and they just shave it and you can add in like fruit, chocolate, etc. If you ever come to Perth should try it. ^^


oh sorry i kinda didn't make it more clear when i said Wendy's. ><" yes there is a Wendy's here in Perth but its like mainly sells ice cream, where over in America Wendy's is a fast food restaurant. please correct me if im wrong cause ive never actually eaten there before.

Taiwan (Taipei, more specifically):
EVERYTHING!?!??!! HAHA. Here are some (OF MANY) off the top of my head

- ANY DONUT from Mister Donut <- holy crap. best donuts IN THE WORLD. Krispy Kreme's got NOTHING on this. My favorite's Pon De Ring:


- mango shaved ice from ICE MONSTER (冰館) <- ALL of the Japanese tourists visit Ice Monster as one of the "landmarks" hahah


- stinky tofu (臭豆腐) from any night market <- make sure it's from a night market, it's the most authentic and delicious


- 牛肉麵 (beef noodle soup) with handmade noodles


- Japanese cuisine at MITSUI (三井日本料理) -OR- MASA <- both are SERIOUSLY fancy shmancy. At the cheapest, it's about $50 per person. There's no menu at either restaurant; the chef just makes different courses based on what fresh ingredients he has that day.


- spicy hot pot (麻辣火鍋) and spicy wonton (紅油炒手) from 沈記(well it doesn't have to be from there; it's the only one I remember & loved)



haha wow. sorry I totally went overboard. Taiwanese food is my PASSION. I think I should be like, the spokesperson for Taiwan tourism. OR I should write a Taiwanese food guide.

[crystaleeee]

philly cheesesteaks is what everyone has to eat when they visit philly...but im pescaterian :]
