Food is an essential part of your
travel. It gives you the energy to travel around and participate in
adventures. Also, it saves you from any
health related issues. When you are in a foreign land, it is necessary for you
to know what to eat and from where. A few months back we posted a Blog on “Food Items to carry while travelling”, where we discussed different food items you
should carry on your trip. In this Blog, we will share some tips on how you can
find the right food for yourself. Besides that, we will also tell you which small
items can fulfill your hunger. These things will help you in adjusting with
different food cultures around the world. So let’s get started…..
1. Food Culture: Read about the
Food Culture at your Destination. Different places have different eating habits
and Food Items. For example- Tea is served a little cold in Europe, while it’s
served hot in parts of Asia. Chinese foods are cooked differently in the United
States, and in a different way in China.
Talk to other Travelers about the place you are visiting and its food
culture.
2. Food Apps: Browse the Internet
or download Apps that give you a list of good restaurants at your destination.
Nowadays, many Apps are available which can search for nearby restaurants and
their directions. You can also ask your Tour Guide or the Locals. A city can
have thousands of restaurants serving numerous types of cuisines. Hence it’s
important to search for the one suiting your taste.
3. Small Meals: If you are faced
with a situation where you can’t find anything good to eat, have some small
snacks and Fruits. Fruits, Milk and Confectioneries are available all over the
world. For Example: Buy 2 Bananas and a bottle of Milk Shake as your Lunch.
They are not only healthy, but have the capacity to fulfill your food
requirements. Similarly, Snacks like Sandwiches and Pastas are widely available,
and may be considered.
4. Fast Food: Fast Food may not be
that Healthy, but are good sometimes. Fast food joints like McDonald’s and
Burger King have their outlets all over the world. Their Menu differs from
Place to Place, but they have something for everyone.
5. Cafes: Cafes are great if you
are visiting a cold place. Just grab a cup of coffee with some snacks and you
are good to go. Cafes do not have many food items, but are ok for a small
break. If possible, look for Cafes having
a wide variety of snacks.
6. Packaged Foods: Packaged foods
such as Biscuits, Muffins, Cornflakes, Oats, Cup Noodles, Fruit Buns, Cup
Cakes, etc. may be of great help. Make sure you visit a nearby grocery store
and buy few of them at the beginning of your trip.
7. Vegetarian Food: People from
Asia face problems in finding Vegetarian food in other parts of the world. Some
are fine with a little Non-Veg food, but some are very strictly vegans. People
who are vegetarians should look for Asian cuisines like Indian, Thai and
Chinese. If you are not able to find them, try having things like French Fries,
Breads, Buns, Cup Noodles, Fruits and
Dairy Products.
8. Hygiene: Whatever you choose to
eat, see that it has been cooked at a hygienic place. If you feel something
uncomfortable or an unbearable smell, avoid eating from them.
