PASSAGE 1
Introduction
When talking about Southeast Asia, many people say that they have fallen in love with this place because of
the culture. Countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia draw many visitors to their amazing
tourist locations. Another reason why Southeast Asia is very popular is that travelers want to experience
different kinds of food. When you travel there, you will understand how each country's culture can be found in
its unique dishes. Each place offers great street food for visitors to experience the local culture. Here are some
unforgettable options for you to try.
Nasi Goreng
Nasi goreng is one of the most well-known dishes from Indonesia. It consists of fried rice that is made with
meat, onion, and a fried egg. Although you can find fried rice all across Asia, Indonesia is famous for it. In fact,
nasi goreng was recently ranked as the second most delicious food in the world, so you definitely need to try it
when you are there!

PASSAGE 1
Amok
If there is one must-try dish in Cambodia, it is amok. This creamy coconut curry is made with fish and served in

curry, you won’t find a dish like amok anywhere else.

Pad Thai
Pad thai is not only famous in Thailand, but throughout the world as well. This delicious meal has a great mix of
tastes that go well together. What makes pad thai so good is that it is sweet, sour, and spicy at the same time.
Its main ingredients include flat rice noodles with stir fried egg, vegetables, meat, peanuts, and spices. Plus,
pad thai is usually very cheap. If you are hungry in Thailand, go to a market that has street food and ask for
this!
