Vietnam was a French colony conquered by the Japanese in World War 2. After World War 2, the French tried to regain their
colony, but guerrilla forces under Ho Chi Minh fought back. In 1953, they won a major battle at Dien Bien Phu and the French
left. Vietnam was divided into a Communist North and a pro-US South. There were supposed to be free elections but the US
thought the Communists would win and cancelled them. The US installed a dictator in the South which provoked a long war.

36. Vietnamese Cuisine
Vietnamese cuisine is often considered less oily and more healthy than other Southeast
Asian cuisine. Fresh herbs rolled into spring rolls (not fried) and hearty bone-broth
noodle soups reinforce that reputation.
Vietnam, along with Laos, is one of the few places in Southeast Asia where travelers
can still find good bread, cheese, and wine — three items left behind by the French.
• Banh Mi: Even if you're sworn off of Western food for your trip, somehow
delicious banh mi baguettes don't count. Take advantage of the remnants of French
colonization!
• Pho: Pronounced “fuuuh” instead of "foh," Vietnam's famous noodle soup is a
world-famous staple. Try it in both Saigon and Hanoi — they prepare pho
differently.
• Cao Lau: Found only in the quaint tourist town of Hoi An, cao lau is arguably the
rarest noodle dish in the world thanks to ancient well water that is used in the
preparation.

The Khmer civilization is famous for the large city of Angkor which was
abandoned in 1351 and lost in the jungle for many years until it was
restored around 1900. The city has many temples. The most famous is
Angkor Wat which is Hindu and Buddhist. The culture was more strongly
influenced by India than China.

40. Cambodian Cuisine
Khmer food may not be as famous as food from
neighboring countries, but the dishes are unique and
tasty. Food is commonly prepared with prahok, a fish
paste which lends a unique flavor to curries and rice.
• Amok: Cambodia's signature curry is typically
made with fish, however, chicken is always
available. The meat is prepared in banana leaves
and then seasoned with a blend of spices.
• Bai Cha: A fried rice variant made with sausage
and soy sauce — certainly a filling option for the
hungry!

44. Laotian Cuisine
Laotian cuisine shares some parallels with neighboring Thailand and Cambodia, however,
many dishes have their own unique, local twist.
• Sticky Rice: Travelers love and get hooked on sticky rice, a glutinous rice squeezed
between the fingers and used to scoop up whatever you are eating. The unique texture
is addictive, as is the presentation (it's often brought to the table in a steaming
bamboo basket).
• Laap: Spelled a variety of different ways, laap is pretty well the national dish in
Laos. Roughly chopped meat (most often beef, chicken, pork, or duck) is blended
with toasted rice and then seasoned with herbs, fish sauce, and lime.
• Papaya Salad: Known locally as som tam, green papaya salad is a ride of texture
and flavors. Crunchy, sour, sweet, spicy, and salty best describe this healthy salad.
You'll find green papaya salad all over Laos and Thailand.
• Ping Pa: Ping pa consists of marinated freshwater fish grilled slowly until it becomes
dry and stringy. Ping Gai, the chicken variant, is smoky and tasty.

51. Thai Cuisine
Thai food hardly needs introduction: pad thai, colorful curries, and other
fabulously spicy dishes have made reputations known around the world.
The default Thai way of eating is to order several dishes and share around the
table. You should, too, and sample as many good things as possible!
• Pad Thai: The most famous of Thai dishes isn't very old, but locals enjoy it,
too. Expect a stir-fry of flat rice noodles served with egg, bean sprouts, lime,
and optional crushed peanuts. Dried chili powder or phrik nam pla (fish sauce
with diced chili peppers) are provided as condiments to add heat.
• Thai Curries: Usually prepared with coconut milk and curry paste, Thai
curries are sweet, spicy, and filling. Some popular choices are red, green,
yellow, Penang, and Massaman.
• Thai Street Food: Thailand has some of the best street food in the world.
With prices around one dollar a meal, an excellent dinner can be had by just
grazing from food carts. The carts in places where locals eat are infinitely
better than those along Khao San Road.

60. Malaysian Cuisine
Malaysia, specifically Penang, has some of the best food on offer in Southeast Asia, including empurau.
This paradise for foodies came about partially thanks to Chinese and Indian immigrants who brought
new spices and cooking techniques with them to the island.
Although Kuala Lumpur's food scene is alive and very well, serious eaters should head to the island of
Penang, home to some of the best street food and food courts in Southeast Asia. Gurney Drive in
Penang is especially popular for eating and socializing.
• Malaysian Noodle Dishes: A staggering number of tasty noodle dishes, mostly of Chinese origin,
can be purchased from street vendors for less than one dollar.
• Malaysian Indian Food: Malaysia's large Indian Muslim community cook up delicious cuisine that is
sometimes served on banana leaves — a great choice for vegetarians.
• Nasi Lemak: Of all the great cuisine in Malaysia, if one dish had to somehow stand out as a national
dish, it would be nasi lemak. Fragrant rice, peanuts, spicy sambal, boiled egg, and dried anchovies
are wrapped into a banana-leaf parcel ready to go.

67. Singapore Cuisine
Who would have guessed the tiny island nation of Singapore to be one
of the top food destinations in the world?
Singaporeans certainly know how to eat, and food culture abounds! A
large foreign expat and immigrant presence mean that practically any
style of Western or Asian cuisine can be found.
Hawker stalls and food courts are the way to go. Make a visit to the
popular Lau Pa Sat food court to try lots of Singaporean specialties.
• Laksa: Singapore has their own delicious variant of the noodle
soup laksa.
• Char Kway Teow: This popular, Chinese street food dish consists
of rice noodles fried to a dark brown in soy sauce. Meat, sliced fish
cake, egg, and sometimes sausage are added to create the king of

79. Indonesian Cuisine
With over 17,000 islands in the archipelago, it is not surprising that
the food in Indonesia is as diverse as the people. Native spices
such as nutmeg and cloves turn otherwise-lackluster dishes into
something you will crave for months after.
• Nasi Goreng: The national dish of Indonesia, this orange-
colored fried rice is simple yet delicious.It's often topped with
a fried egg.
• Gado-Gado: Perfect for vegetarians, gado-gado is stir-fried or
boiled vegetables in thick-and-sweet peanut sauce.
• Tempeh: Vegetarians around the world are grateful for
Indonesia's healthy protein option. Fermented soybeans are
compressed into cakes to create a firm-textured tofu with a
nutty taste. The tempeh cakes are sliced and used in dishes as a
meat substitute.

87. Philippines Cuisine
Adobo Assorted Filipino Dishes
Food in the Philippines is a fusion of Asian cuisine with many Spanish and European
influences blended with Chinese. Philippine cuisine is different, and arguably heavier
than other Southeast Asian cuisine.
• Adobo: Found everywhere in the Philippines, Adobo is meat or fish cooked
slowly in vinegar and spices then browned to a crispy finish in oil.
• Pancit: Pancit is simply any noodle dish — scores of variations exist — with
meat and vegetables.
• Kare-Kare: Oxtail, tripe, and vegetables are added to a peanut-based broth to
make this heavy stew.
• Kinilaw: Call it the Philippine ceviche, kinilaw is a spicy, delicious salad of raw
fish sliced into cubes and marinated in vinegar.
