PARIS, FRANCE
Classics like Steak Frites, Magret de Canard, and Soupe a l’oignon from one of the world’s culinary capitals. You have probably heard plenty about Paris and its food scene – its classic wicker chair bistros, patisseries luring you inside with the aroma of buttery croissants and French fine dining. It's impossible to talk about any of these experiences without noting how strongly Parisians believe that Paris is unquestionably the historical and prevailing capital of international culinary art. See Paris food guide here.

BARCELONA, SPAIN
Savory tapas, saffron-infused paella, and lesser-known Catalonian dishes like calçotada and escudella. Bustling, vibrant bars with people calling out for attention from servers to refill their glasses of cava and beer.

The subtle, sweet aroma of saffron-infused Paella on an emblematic flat pan, topped with a medley of fresh seafood... This is what Barcelona is known for. See Barcelona food guide here.

BANGKOK, THAILAND
Stalls, stalls, and more stalls – the sight that awaits you as you descend upon one of Bangkok’s numerous street food markets. The vendor in front of you beckons with a bowl of Pad Kra Pao Moo, a pork stir-fry served over rice, while his neighbor cooks savory Satay, grilled meat skewers, over an unimaginably long grill. A rainbow of noodles made of rice flour, wheat, soya beans, and more on display catch your eye as your nose pulls you towards a fragrant Thai Green Curry. See Bangkok food guide here.
HONG KONG SAR, CHINA
Hong Kong has stayed true to its Chinese (mainly Cantonese) roots and traditions while embracing an influx of expats and foreign influences.

See Hong Kong food guide here.

Tamales, enchiladas, mole, pozole and the king of Mexican cuisine, the taco. Comforting dishes, like Tamales, Enchiladas and Pozole can be easily found in home-style mom & pop shops for under $5.
