Trying food from different cuisines is almost like going to that place and experiences its vibe.
Authentic food from another country/city allows you to walk in their shoes and feel a little bit closer to figuring out how the world works over there.
I have always loved trying different dishes that are not my own cultures and this list is some of the ones that I have loved.
1. Mexican
Mexican cuisine definitely consists of rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole, but at authentic places, you'll find much more variety than your usual tacos.
2. Vietnamese
Vietnamese pho? A Vietnamese noodle soup with broth, meat, and herbs is such a good choice for food at any time.
3. Korean
Go for a Korean BBQ when you are really hungry and you want to spend two hours with some people.
You will be seated around a table with a grill in the middle where you can put your choices of meat such as bulgogi beef or pork belly, for example.
Side dishes such as salad, rice, kimchi, or pajeori (spicy green onion salad) are usually included.
4. Japanese
Forget Chicken Teriyaki, Japanese cuisine has much more to offer. Try ramen varieties or the California roll, for example.
Japanese food is one of a kind. You will never mistake it. Sushi, sashimi, unagi, and sake… we all know this. But this cuisine is not only about products and recipes, here a lot is about their indigenous culture and traditions. It is not surprising then that they made the whole world eat with chopsticks instead of knives and forks.
5. Californian
Your visit in LA won't be complete without them – especially after a night out. You can literally have any type of food you want – Korean fusion tacos, German Currywurst, Hot Dogs, lobster, Sushi, etc.
6. Persian
My actual go to cuisine and one of my top cuisines ever. The shawarma? Fantastic. Kebab? Great. Rice? Brilliant. Everything else? Also good. You can't go wrong.
7. Thai
Like many other Asian cuisines, Thai cooking uses rice as a basic ingredient for the majority of dishes. The word "food" in Thai means literally "to eat rice". It has so much variety that I can only tell you that you should try all of it.
And there are many more that I did not get to talk about but as a foodie, these are all a must.
Your mom cooks the best food ever in the universe obviously. But if one day you want to try food which (would never be better of course) would be different from your mother's, then this article is for you.
