In many parts of the world, the quality of food is almost always directly proportional to its worth (or price). Mas masarap, mas mahal. That’s why food doesn’t constitute a big chunk when I plan for my travel budget. As long as I get to eat, I am fine. However with my last visits to Vietnam, my perception has completely changed. Delicious food in Vietnam is cheap! Even their veggie meals are mouth-watering. Laos wasn’t bad either. Asia is truly a gastronomic haven!
