Asia, Food, Love, Travel

Hello fellow adventurers,

Welcome back to another gastronomic journey with your favorite couple travel bloggers as we continue to explore life, love, and food in the expansive lusciousness of Asia. Today we're taking you on a trip through local markets and food stalls for an authentic taste of Asia, with a spotlight on Jianbing, and we'll also spill the beans on our picnic basket meals. Plus, let's delve deeper into the world of ethical eating.

1. The Joy of Jianbing

Jianbing ranks high on our listicle of iconic street foods not to miss. Originating from China, Jianbing is a savory crepe packed with eggs and adorned with a mix of crispy won ton skins, scallions, and sauces of your choice. (Hint: the spicier, the better!)

Why it's a Must-Try: With every bite of Jianbing, you get a tantalizing mix of crunchy, chewy, and tangy goodness, painting a flavorful picture of the streets in our minds.

2. Picnic Basket Meals, Asian-Style

Asia is undisputedly one of the best regions for creating Picnic basket meals. Our favorites include Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, Thai spring rolls, Indonesian gado-gado salad, and Japanese-bento.

Pro-tip for Couples: The best way to bond is by creating your picnic basket meals together. It's fun, cosy, and absolutely delicious!

3. Ethical Eating in Asia

As traveling food lovers, we believe in the power of ethical eating. Ethical eating has several layers, such as supporting local producers, choosing seasonal, non-endangered species, and respecting cultural traditions. Whether it's buying organic mangoes from a vendor in Vietnam or choosing seafood caught sustainably, remember that every food choice you make has an impact.

The Bottom Line

Asia, with its vast array of tastes and flavors, always leaves us craving for more. And every time we return, we fall in love with the continent even more deeply - with each other even more passionately. After all, isn't shared love a treat in itself?

Join us again soon as we continue our quest in the pursuit of love, food, and memorable adventurous tales. Until then, remember to live your journey fully, eating well and ethically – because at the end of the day, food isn't just about the taste. It's about the experience, the story behind it, and the respect towards the resources it took to reach your plate.

Spice on, TravelChefs!
