Food is a crucial part of the journey. If you want to experience the culture and history of a place, then you can start by tasting its food. And a more grounded experience than tasting food in restaurants and eateries is to seek out local street food.

Street food is both cheap and convenient, whether it be from a night market stall, a cart, or a kiosk. Authentic snacks cooked by locals can be found in all of these places. Today, we will take a look at some iconic street foods from around the world.

Stir-fried crab with curry is a famous Bangkok dish. In the past, Thais used to stir-fry crab using only celery, green onions, and onions.

A few days later, the customer came back and asked for the dish, so the chef made the mistake but added coconut milk and egg to increase the taste and texture, which has since become known as Thai-style fried crab.
