re: Food trip to Asia. Where ya goin'?

I went to southeast asia last summer..cambodia/vietnam/laos..In vietnam I visited hanoi/saigon. The food was good but I think your other optons would be better. The banh mi weren't flowing like honey, the fried food ("nem") was really heavy, and the pho wasn't anything particularly special. Maybe I wasn't doing it right, I dunno. I did eat some really good street food, like steamed pork buns, dumplings, roasted birds and the like. Also got the Big D something fierce over there. It's almost unavoidable, it's an entirely different floral and fauna and I think more foreigners get sick than don't.

Haven't been to tokyo but that's gotta be on the food trip. Actually all those pics you show look awesome. The big cities are probably where you'll eat the best food.
