Thai Crispy Pork Belly – Moo Krob
Do I need to write any more pork belly and crispy at that.
I almost fainted as I heard the crunch echo in my mouth; the
cool cucumbers were welcome right alongside the slightly sweet
soybean sauce. The streets of Bangkok behold numerous
treasures such as this breakfast yes, breakfast!
Indian Fire-Roasted Sandwiches – Masala Toast
White bread is trimmed, spread with herb chutney, then layered with mashed spiced potatoes, shaved red onions, sliced tomatoes,
cucumbers, green bell peppers and dusted with a spice mixture known as Chaat Masala a mixture of black salt, white pepper, green
mango powder, chili and cumin. The sandwich is packed into a metal press, and then placed directly over fl ame to toast until golden brown.
After being removed, it is topped with fried chickpea fl our noodles and a spoon of cilantro chutney.
Singaporean Hawker Centers
These palaces of culinary pleasures cannot be beat for a wide selection of awesome food at any time of day. The Singaporeans have
been able to retain the street food culture while improving the typical hygiene and street congestion.
Chinese Breakfast
In Beijing, hungry locals line up every chilly
morning for a taste of freshly fried dough strips,
"yu-tiao", this day I devoured them with silky,
soft tofu topped with a hot and sour sauce.

Above: Hot and cool, crisp and tender, sweet
and sour oh my goodness, possibly the best
sandwich of my life.

cucumbers. The rice is cooked with browned garlic and is coated with chicken
fat. All this is eaten while occasionally sipping a simple chicken broth from
poaching.

and bean sprouts that are added as you sip away.
