Its very easy to travel around the worldand look out the window and not know where you are. You see the same businesses. Go to the bestrestaurant in town in Houston, New York, or Berlin, and theyre not going to be thatdifferent. Thatsnot the case with street food. In Mexico, youll know if youre in Puebla or Mexico Cityyoull smell,see, and taste the difference.Indeed, here are a dozen must-try street foods that offer us a truly unique, local flavor.NASI ULAM: MALACCA, MALAYSIA 2. The Malaysian state of Malacca is home to a large Peranakan community, and their ethnic Nynonyacuisinea fusion of Chinese, Indonesian, Thai, and Malay ingredients and techniquesbirthed thisrice and seafood delight. The recipe of local celebrity/chef Kenny Chan, of Malaccas Big Nyonya,includes steamed white rice with chopped lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, wild ginger flower, birds eyechili, lightly fried Spanish mackerel, prawns, coconut, cilantro, cucumber, and Calamansi lime and chilipaste on the side.Where To Get It: Malaccas Big Nonya (33 Jalan Merdeka, Taman Melaka Raya).CHICKEN 65: INDIANobodys really saying where the 65 comes frompossibilities include the number of spices used,how many days the chicken has been alive, its place on the original menu, etcbut all are in agreementthat this spicy, deep fried, red-colored chicken dish, served with minty raita, is frickin bucket list-worthy.Where to Get it: It started at Chennais Buhari Hotel Restaurant chain, but youll find this treat allover India. 3. SEAFOOD TOSTADA: ENSENADA BAJA CALIFORNIA,MEXICOThis is quite possibly the highest-profile item at the WSFC Jamboree. It is a gorgeous union of freshsquid, scallop, and crab with crackly, thin tostada bread is complemented by citrusy salsa and avocado.Where to Get it: At the coastal city of Ensenadas La Guerrerense.Anthony Bourdain goes cuckoo forjovial chef Sabina Bandera Gonzalezs take on the dishits the salvation of the human race, after all!SARAWAK LAKSA: KUCHING, MALAYSIA 4. The noodle soup known as laksa is, to Malaysia, what barbecue is to the USA: many states have theirown distinctive version. Sarawak, located on Borneo, is home to a perfectly sour-savory-creamyvariationa tamarind-infused coconut milk base with vermicelli noodles, plump shrimp, crisp beansprouts, shredded chicken and omelet, cilantro, and a tangy citrus spritz from Southeast Asias cherry-sized,orange-hued Calamansi limes.Where to Get it: In Sarawaks capital city of Kuching, the open-facedGreen Hill Corner coffeeshop/restaurant. In Singapore, you can experience it at the Bedok Hakwer Centers Red Hornbill stall(205 Bedok North St. 1).CHICKEN RICE: SINGAPOREChicken Rice is the hamburger of Singapore, a ubiquitous comfort food traditionally comprised ofbroth and ginger-infused rice, steamed white meat (or, in some venues, roasted and brown-skinned),and a side of cucumber slices and garlic chili sauce. Its served at hundreds of open-air hawker stalls,air conditioned food courts and restaurants, and rarely will you find two Singaporeans that agree onwhere to find the best.Where to Get it: Here are three to try: Wee Nam Kee at 275 Thompson Road, Tian Tian at MaxwellHawker Center, and Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice at ION Orchard shopping centers artfully-designedbasement food court. 5. BAO LUO FEN: SANYA, CHINAA Hainanese specialty, the Chinese name which means hugging a beauty, is both sweet and savory.Soft, translucent rice noodles are tossed in a beef and corn gravy and topped with sliced, lean pork,beef jerky, and roasted peanuts.Where to Get it: In the Hainan regions coastal Sanya town, at Qiong Yuan.CURRYWURST: BERLIN, GERMANYSecond only to the doner kebab in its Berlin omnipresence, this is a chopped-up pork sausage dousedliberally in a ketchup-curry sauce and dusted with curry powder. Go whole-hog, so to speak, with a sideorder of fries and mayonnaise. Just dont eat while in motion, its a guaranteed stain. (Trust us.)Where to Get it: Kreuzbergs Curry 36 stand, which is open until 4 am from Monday-Saturday.Perfect for post-bar hunger pangs. 6. CORN IN A CUP: MALAYSIAExactly what it sounds like. Corn niblets in an eight-ounce styrofoam cup, this is delicious, buttery,fresh-tasting, crisp, and sweet.

Theresulting crispy-chewy interior contains a melty, sweet center.Where to Get it: On the lower level of Shilin Night Markets food court at the tiny Frying Milkstandlook for the cartoon cow on its front.FRIED TARANTULAS: CAMBODIACambodians learned to eat some funky things during the horrible Pol Pot Khmer Rouge era, includingplenty of insects. Compared by some to soft-shelled crabs, except more gooey, fried tarantulas are afavorite in the market town of Skuon. Admittedly, this picks more about earning street cred andFacebook comments than flavor. But we say, go for it!Where to Get It: Street vendors all over Skuontypically a rest stop if taking a bus from Phnom Penhto Siem Reapbut if you want a sit-down restaurant tarantula experience, visit Phnom PenhsRomdeng, part of the Friends International/Mith Samlanh NGO and run by former street kids. 8.
