]]> When many travelers visit Japan, the food they most look forward to eating is sushi, but the country is actually home to a diverse culinary landscape that extends well beyond salmon skin rolls. Japanese street food, in particular, stands out as a delicious example of its rich and diverse gastronomic heritage, offering travelers a peek into an authentic, yet often overlooked facet of local culture through cuisine. If you’re planning a visit to Japan anytime soon, read on to learn more about some of the best street food dishes worth trying. 

Takoyaki

Not to be confused with teriyaki, which is a type of sauce, takoyaki are spherical dumplings filled with pieces of octopus meat. Literally translated as “grilled octopus,” the dumplings consist of a batter made from wheat flour and miso broth, and have a crispy exterior with a chewy inside. They’re traditionally served with Japanese mayonnaise and a Worcestershire-based takoyaki sauce, with a sprinkle of bonito flakes and spring onion for garnish.

Okonomiyaki

Originating from both Hiroshima and Osaka, okonomiyaki is a savory pancake with a soft, yet dense texture made from a wheat batter mixed with cabbage. They’re widely regarded as quite customizable and can be prepared with a variety of toppings ranging from meat and seafood to fried udon noodles. In Osaka, the ingredients are usually mixed to create a frittata-like pancake, while in Hiroshima, they’re layered a bit like a pizza. 

Taiyaki

When you’ve had your fill of savory pancakes and actual fish, be sure to try taiyaki, a popular fish-shaped pastry for dessert. Taiyaki are typically filled with sweet fillings such as red bean paste, custard, or chocolate, and have a unique texture that strikes a satisfying balance between crispy and chewy. Vendors are easy to find around tourist attractions, making taiyaki a convenient option for travelers on the go.

If you happen to get hungry while in Honolulu, make sure you try one of these mouthwatering street food dishes.

Spam Musubi

Spam Musubi is a dish that actually originated in Hawaii in the early 20th century. It is beloved in the state due to its taste, affordability, and availability.

Spam Musubi is made by placing a slice of grilled Spam on top of a block of rice and wrapping it all with nori (edible seaweed).

]]> Traveling through Vietnam is not only a great experience due to the country’s stunning landscapes and unique culture. Tourists are often also impressed with Vietnamese cuisine, with the country’s street food offering getting particularly rave reviews.

Now, most regions of Vietnam have their own unique specialties, but there are several types of mouthwatering street food dishes that you can get almost anywhere in the country.

Pho

Pho is a Vietnamese soup that’s comprised of a delicious broth, rice noodles, meat, and several other ingredients. The dish is cheap, tasty, and filling.

Cha Gio

If you are in the mood for finger food, you’ll hardly find something better than fried spring rolls called Cha Gio. They are made out of round meat and diced veggies that are wrapped in rice paper and then fried in hot oil.

Banh Mi Sandwich  

Banh Mi sandwiches are a great way to have a quick bite to eat in Vietnam. These sandwiches are made using banh mi bread, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In between the bread, you’ll find various fillings like pork sausages, pickled veggies, and various condiments.

In case you have a sweet tooth, we recommend trying Banh bo. This is a sponge cake made out of rice flour with the addition of coconut milk. They are also known as honeycomb cakes due to their characteristic air bubbles.

]]> Bangkok, Thailand, is often considered one of the world’s street food capitals. When walking through the city, you usually feel that there is a street food vendor on every corner. And more often than not, that feeling is correct.

Bangkok really has impressive street food offerings in terms of quantity but also quality and diversity. So, whether you’re in the mood for a fast-food staple like hot dogs or some Asian classic like pad thai, you will find what you are looking for in Bangkok.

However, if you are not set on a certain type of food and just want to try something new, check out the three street food dishes you have to have while in Bangkok.

Pad Thai

Pad Thai is an iconic Thai dish, so you know it has to be on this list. It usually consists of rice noodles, scrambled eggs, tofu, and veggies that are combined in a wok and then fried. The dish is usually topped with tamarind juice, fish sauce, or soy sauce, while various fish and meat can also be added.

Som Tam

Som tam, or Thai papaya salad, is a perfect combination of spicy, sour, salty, and sweet. Papaya is, of course, the main ingredient, but different street vendors will have different accompanying components. The most common ones are Thai chili for spiciness, lime for sourness, palm sugar for sweetness, and fish sauce for saltiness.

Mango Sticky Rice

If you are in the mood for some dessert, you can hardly go wrong with mango sticky rice. It is quite a simple dish that combines sweet mango with rice glutinous rice that is previously sweetened with coconut milk. But despite its simplicity, it is arguably one of the best dishes you can get on the streets of Bangkok.
