Ice Cream Burrito In Taiwan

Taiwan is known as a foodie’s paradise and indulging in all the different street foods on offer is an essential experience to have while in Taiwan. One of the more unique offerings is an ice cream burrito. It consists of a flour crepe with two to three scoops of ice cream normally pineapple or taro flavoured, freshly shaved peanut nugget, and cilantro on top. The crepe is rolled up like a burrito, placed in a plastic bag, cut in half, and handed over to you to enjoy. It may sound like an odd combination, but it is absolutely delicious and refreshing.
The cilantro can be omitted on request, but the cilantro is the shining star of the dish, so you should try the ice cream burrito with it included. The addition of cilantro makes the dish taste extremely fresh, and the flavour mixes perfectly with the peanut nugget.

Fishball Noodles In Singapore

In Singapore, our street food are usually from Hawker centres and coffee shops. And there are plenty of hawker centres and coffee shops in Singapore. And the food is usually very affordable ranging from SGD2 onwards. And Fishball Noodle is a common yet must try food that you can find in almost all the coffee shops, hawker centres.
It is usually sold in dry version with or without chilli and the soup version. I normally go for the dry version with chilli, as it also comes with a small bowl of soup. The fishballs are made from fish paste, into a bite small ball shape. Some will like hand made fishballs, and some will like machine made fishballs. And they are served with a bowl of noodles, added with sauces like vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and chilli.

Banh Mi In Vietnam

Before arriving in Vietnam, I knew only one thing it’s a country for foodies. And I wasn’t wrong. The hardest part when it comes to Vietnamese food is to pick among so many choices, tastes, spices. One of the first dishes I’ve tried upon landing in Hanoi’s airport was an iconic Banh Mi, a baguette sandwich filled with herbs, vegetables, meat or eggs. It’s a very simple dish that can be consumed as a breakfast, lunch and even dinner.
The making of Banh Mi is a pure art since everyone prepares it differently using variations of herbs and spices. I really got hooked up on Banh Mi and soon it became a part of my morning routine eating Banh Mi and enjoying a strong Vietnamese coffee. I was on a mission to find the best Banh Mi in Vietnam and after a year of traveling around Vietnam, I’ve finally found it. The older energetic lady who has a small street shop next to my apartment in Da Nang is making the best Banh Mi and just observing how she is mixing the herbs and spices is a pure.

Ddeokbokki In Seoul, South Korea

One of the most typical street foods in Korea, ddeokbokki is best described as glutinous rice cakes drenched in a spicy red sauce. The snack is most often served in paper trays alongside processed fish cakes called odeng or eomuk. The fish cakes are either brushed with soy sauce and eaten separately, or dipped into the spicy sauce depending on preference. To make the signature spicy sauce in which the rice cakes are cooked, the chef uses the same Korean red pepper flakes called gochugaru to color and flavor the dish.
This lends a very particular taste to the experience, which may even remind you a bit of kimchi, which is prepared with the same red pepper flakes. Ddeokbokki is sold in small stalls in all of the markets in Korea, and even along the streets in small cities and towns.
