Asian food is a tourist attraction. Since it is such a massive continent with several influences from many regions, flavours, and cultures, which makes it difficult for choosing which Asian delicacy is commonly recognised as the most delicious.

If you crave culinary adventure, the region has so much to provide. And foreigners especially come to try some of them. While there are some Asian recipes that are popular across several Asian countries and they are popular in some foreign countries as well. Below, I’m going to a list of some popular Asian dishes that you should try.

Chilli Crab in Singapore
Stir-fried crab in a tomato-based, sweet, savoury, and a little hot chilli sauce. Break into its cawls with crab crackers and drink at the flesh. The widespread crab choice in Singapore is the mud crab but except for all sorts of shapes and sizes. While having gone its lustre of late the chilli crab will constantly be a must-eat when in Singapore.
Khantoke Dinner in Thailand
This is a traditional Northern Thai feast showcasing many of the region’s Lanna food favourites. The bites of this food include chilli dips, spicy sausage, Northern style curries, and the staple rice. Khantoke denotes the haunch height, round tables in which diners feast around that generally come with traditional dance, performances, and local liquor.
Curry Feast in Sri Lanka
Lace-up with chunks of cinnamon, curry leaves as well as other local spices, a curry feast on the Island of spice is not to be lost. In Sri Lanka, curries hardly come served alone and are every so often matched with sides of bean curry, cabbage curry, dhal curry… all sorts of curry. You can eat it with rice, spicy sambals, and popadoms.
Momos in the Himalayas
With obvious Chinese inspirations, this Himalayan meat and/or veg dumplings make a great fast-food snack to-go. Though best recognised for Nepali origins momos are now communal on all sides of Himalayan boundaries through Tibet, Bhutan, and India. This Asia food is generally served with an optional hot chilli sauce, dark soy, and a side of soup.
Candied Haws in China
Similar mini candy apples with a sharp sour bite. Candied haws known nearby as Bing Tanghulu are a common street food snack made from local Chinese Hawthorns empaled, dipped in sugar syrup, and left to harden. Though haws are the most communal sweet, there are distinctions with deseeded and stuffed haws or changing candied fruits.
Kimchi in Korea
Accompanying practically all Korean meals these spicy, fermented vegetables are similar to the ketchup of Korea. Though the most common Kimchi is of soused napa cabbage (baechu kimchi) there are limitless disparities of vegetables and seasonings. For making a meal of it, you can try Kimchi fried rice.
Satay in Indonesia
Typical barbecue food with tender meat pieces, marinated, empaled, and grilled over burning hot charcoals. Satay comes served with a fiery, hot peanut sauce and although replicated somewhere else in Asia regional interpretations can be fewer spicy and sweeter. Satay is found best at its origins in Java Indonesia.
Roti Prata in Singapore
Well known for origins in India, this modest pan-fried flatbread trailed old colonial trade routes to Singapore. You can find roti prata at Indian Muslim shop house restaurants in Singapore, try Little India or Geylang. This food is best served with curry sides and Tiger Beer.
Shan Noodles in Myanmar
This prevalent street food and tea house snack is served as thin rice noodles, topped with spiced meat, and, more than not, with the soup broth on the side. You can mix it and gulp it up. Common sides include bean sprouts, deep-fried pork skins, and triangles of tofu fritters and perfected with chilli and lime.
