Best Countries To Visit For A Culinary Experiance

Looking for a culinary experience to amaze your taste buds?

Travelling is all about experiencing different cultures and what better way to do this than getting a taste of their very own specialty dishes. If you’re travelling the world to find the best flavors, here is a list of countries that will surely satisfy the foodie in you!

  1. France

France is popular for many things, the reason why the place is always looming with tourists all season long. Over there we will find the iconic Eiffel tower, the Louvre, and of course, the beautiful French Riviera. But if there’s one thing you should not miss out while you’re in France, it would be the taste of authentic French cuisine. France is home to the original baguette and croissant. While these two is found almost everywhere in the world, it is only in France where something as simple as bread could look and taste gourmet. Never miss out on their favorite desserts like soufflés, crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. If you’re into savory dishes, try out their famous Escargot which is basically buttered snails!

  1. Japan

If you find yourself seeking for a more authentic experience while eating at your favorite hibachi grill, get a ticket, fly to japan and taste the real deal (If life was that easy, am I right?).  menu items may be difficult to read and pronounce for non-native speakers, but Japanese food is certainly easy on the taste buds. The land off the rising sun as what the country is popularly called, houses the best ramen noodle bars and restaurants that serve yakitori or grilled chicken and vegetable skewers. And of course, who would go visit japan and not have the pleasure of enjoying fresh sushi and sashimi!

  1. Italy

Italians are proud of their culinary achievements. So if you ever find yourself in Italy to visit the Florence cathedral or take a photo with the leaning tower of pisa, don’t forget to have a cup of special Italian brewed coffee. Have some of their delicious risottos and al dente pastas. For dessert, you can never go wrong with gelato of a flavor of your choice. Finally, it’s a sin to leave Italy without ordering their legendary Neopolitan-style pizza and Roman-style pizza. Just don’t go looking for pineapples on your pan!

  1. Mexico

Mexico is a popular tourist destination because of the weather, the sights, and of course, the food! We all know that this place is all about their enchiladas, tacos, and quesadillas. Don’t leave Mexico without trying Chilaquiles, Tostadas, Elote, Mole, and Chiles en nogada. Taco bell may not be giving us the satisfaction we deserve when it comes to Mexican cuisine!

  1. Indonesia

If you’re into spicy food, visit Indonesia for some authentic Nasi Goreng which is the country’s national dish. This version of fried rice is seasoned with sweetened soy sauce or ketchup and topped with carrots, cucumber, and acar. Ayam gureng is also a must try. This savory dish is basically the best tasting fried chicken in the country. The secret behind this flavorsome food is the use of organic bird meat from small village birds. The beauty of Bali is not the only thing that will keep you coming back to Indonesia.

  1. Greece

Greece is on everybody’s travel bucket list. And why should it not be? Just looking at pictures of Santorini will make you fall in love with the place instantly. But there is more to Greece than just the sights. The country also takes pride with their food especially Souvlaki which is basically grilled marinated pork on a stick. Greece is also well-known for Mousaka which is an eggplant-based dish which tastes best when home-made. So never say no to Greek hospitality!

  1. China

China is also a great travel destination for food. Although Chinese buffets and takeout is pretty popular, do not think, even for a second, that you know what authentic Chinese dishes taste like until you come to visit China and have a bite of their traditional food. Try chop seuy which is a healthy mix of vegetables sautéed in savory sauce. Chinese restaurants also make hand-pulled noodles that taste like heaven!
