A couple other things we do food wise...
We've done food festivals, the most well known is the
Gilroy Garlic Festival, San Jose, CA. We lucked out in Budapest, Hungary a the time we were there there was the
Mangalica Festival. Mangalica is an old species of hog, very tasty and very yummy to eat.
We also started going to the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco and New York. It's an industry only event, but if you can find a way to go, I recommend it highly. Everyone represents there.
and like snowy, we like to eat the culture, this also means that we tend to not go to the know chefs as much, we tend to like the more home cooked style meals.
Vino E Pasta in Salzburg was one of the greatest finds we'd ever had, and we always want to go back there. Home made tiramisu and freshly made pasta. The people there spoke no English, just Italian and German. Luckily for us we spoke Italian food.
Even when we were in Gurgaon, India, I asked the staff to make particular street foods. The staff was happy to oblige as most people staying there were business travelers not interested in the local foods.
As for Singapore, I cannot wait to go back there again. I've been getting old photos from when I lived there in 89-90 and I miss the food very much. Satu Lagi!
agree with the Bangkok street food, I just didn't like the locusts... they were creepy looking.
