Bangkok
Bangkok is one of the most exotic and exciting destinations in the world. The way of living is totally different from the western world and every day you learn and experience new and exciting food and things to do. In Bangkok you can find lots and lots of Street Food everywhere. You can find everything from fresh pineapples, to crispy cockroaches and nice rice with pork and fried eggs. There is literally Street Food on every street and in every market in Thailand, and the food is very cheap and very often cooked in front of you so that you have a clear vision if it is fresh or not. To avoid stomach problems stay with the food charts that has the biggest queues!
Here are some examples of what you can find in the streets of Bangkok:
Chotechitr is serving delicious marinated pork, chicken and beef, freshly made in front of your eyes accompanied with sticky rice or noodles. Everything is made from homemade recipes brought down through generations. They serve quick and easy made food to a cheap price.

The Victory Monument in the central Bangkok is a great place to go that actually serves a lot of different food since it is a big square with lots of competitors. It is almost impossible to pass through the square without having a snack or some lunch. They serve everything from noodle soups to fresh fruits and chicken curry with rice. Every customer and all the food is handled and prepared quickly in front of your eyes.

Koh San Road is one of the most famous and popular tourist attractions in Bangkok. It is a very small street crowded with shops and food charts on each side of the road where there are tons of different kinds of food. You can find everything from Burger King and Falafel to ginger soup and crispy cockroaches. You can find both take-away food as well as Street Food restaurants where you get served very quickly and you get a lot of food for almost no money at all.

New York
There are many different opinions on what Street Food really is and no one can say what is right or wrong. Street Food can be whatever people perceive it to be.
In my mind, Street Food is all kind of food sold in the streets in the different countries worldwide. Many would say that it is a form of take-away food that is quick and easy to make with tasty ingredients and simple recipes. It could be hot and cold or sweet and salty, the sky has no limits.
If we take New York for example, you have all these amazing food wagons in every street corner selling everything from Ice Cream to Hot Dogs and it smells so good. It is quite difficult to differ what is good and what is not at the different Street Food places. Our tip would be to always look at the queue, if it is big, then you know where to go!
