Southeast Asian Food Challenge

I have set myself a little challenge whilst I'm on my travels around Southeast Asia and that challenge is to only eat the food of the country that I'm visiting while I'm there. Although I don't know much about Laos or Cambodia cuisine, I do know about, and am very familiar with, Thai and Vietnamese food and therefore I think that I should make the most of these amazing foods while I can in the places that they will be the best. I can eat western foods till my heart's content at home but this is a great chance for me to maximise my experience by fully indulging in and appreciating the diversity and deliciousness of the cuisine from this part of the world. And not only will it give me a more complete and true experience of these countries, it is sure to save me some money too. Happy days. I say "challenge" but it should be quite easy really if my love for Pad Thai and Pho are anything to go by.

But before the challenge commenced it was time for one 'last supper' type meals at Bangkok Airport (because the airport doesn't really count!) ...a Burger King meal in all its disgustingly delicious glory. And oh boy, did I enjoy it.

But it's local food all the way from now! (..with the exception of breakfast each day which I forgot to mention. Because rice or noodles THREE times a day and first thing in the morning? No. Just no.) So here goes. Can I do it? We'll soon find out...
