What's the best food you're had in another country that's not from that country?

Vietnam has amazing French food. Especially top tier baked good like croissants. Up there with the best in Paris.

I would never have guessed, this is what I made this post for.

Yeah, the careful curation of everything put me off, over all ... I'd rather stick with provincial but real, personally (she says while getting a tattoo in a Vietnamese alley)

I've only passed through Shanghai - what's it like?

Had some great Neapolitan pizza in Weesp, Netherlands.

Can I ask in which one? I'm planning to go to Gent soon

Agreed. Singapore felt like Disneyland. There's a place for that experience and I can only take it in doses lol.

I loved Shanghai. During that trip, we stuck mostly to the historical bits, which I was suuuuper fascinated by. We had a few days there and a few more in and around Beijing with some traveling in between.

Foodwise, it was awesome, but all very traditional fare (which I never grew tired of and would definitely go back). We were on our own, though, so we didn't have the luxury of local friends and their preferences. Definitely got gawked at a bit more than in Hong Kong, but everyone was super kind. A bit more businessy, I'd say.

French toast in a Hong Kong restaurant in (Low Yat tech mall in) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was awesome. Just some toast with some peanut butter, done in a very special way so that it seemed a totally new dish to me. Place has shut in the meantime.

Also, if you're ever in Prague, visit Yuniku, the best Korean BBQ restaurant I've ever been to, and that list is not short.

Hmm, if the opportunity passes I'll check it out ... I'm used to people gawking, lol

Thanks :-)

I had something in Germany they told me was from Austria that was just ham steaks with eggs and potatoes in an incredible red sauce.

It sounds a bit like Tiroler Gröstel but with Gulasch Sauce. Gulasch is usually it's own dish, but you could use it as an addition to another dish.

I lived in Russia for a while about 15 years ago. Burger King and KFC were so fucking good there. I was so disappointed when I came back to the states to find Burger King as cold uneatable garbage again.

Had the most amazing burger in Japan. I'm not sure what they put in their food, but EVERYTHING there tastes amazing.

Do you know what makes them better?

Massive win for communism btw 🥰. Just think about how they pushed back at those western brands setting up shop in the USSR. If only they knew one day they could say "Even capitalist slop taste better in Mother Russia 🐻🇷🇺"

Only because the US is cheating. Somebody commented that and I agree.

Certainly! It was: 't Vosken, Sint-Baafsplein 19. I'll try to upload a photo.

Nope. It was on the main square and was called 't Vosken.
