What Asian country has the lowest food quality ?

Featured Replies

After I traveling one time to Mexico I was thinking this is the most miserable food I ever eat, but last year in Bali it tops the low quality top list with there miserable choice and quality fat crackers high prices even higher then in the eu maybe now cheaper of better exchange rate this year, also the size was very low always have to order 2 meals

In Philippine expat boards I read

The food quality is so bad , that some people not want give the meal to his own dog!

Visit some Korean restaurants in Thailand , many plates but nothing on the table and high price!

Malaysian food to fat espasaly in Penang kl better!

Vietnamese food I can eat maybe 2 times a month for me better then Korean

Number one for me Thailand

Number 2 japan!

For sure the tast of foreign food is not same then inside the country where it comes from !

I didn't enjoyed Burmese food very much a couple of years ago. But at my last visit to Tachileik it was okay.

The best food of Asia I had in Thailand and North-India.

By lowest quality, do you mean hygiene?

Anyway I think Thai food tastes much better in Australian resteraunts.

Agree food was worst I've tasted with exception to a couple of places in the greenbelt, the Americans should have tought them to make a burger

Best asian food thailand and india. Some Chinese and Japanese dishes

The best: Thai Seafood, followed by classical Thai food, followed by classical North-Indian food, then Turkish

OK what's the worst Asian dish? Pak Pak in Flipperland. It's made from re-cycled discarded food from the trash cans of foodstalls, restaurants, homes wherever. Then made into loose meatball shapes and served in a soup. Don't forget to try it on your next trip to the PP.

Before I came to live in Thailand I always thought Thai food to be healthy, lots of vegetables, stir fried. However, in reality, the vegetables are usually unwashed and probably coated in pesticide, everything stir fried in copious quantities of old cooking oil, then salt, sugar and msg added in liberal quantities. All the preparation and storage of the food in less than sanitary conditions, by cooks who wouldn't know what a bar of soap looked like. Doesn't mean I never eat out in Thailand, but I do prefer the Thai food my partner prepares, better quality, clean and healthy.

I'm inclined to agree that Thai food is better in Oz, better ingredients, cooked in sanitary conditions, by Thai chefs. Of course you are paying at least 10 times more for it.

It depends, where you go. Even in Thailand. Better not compare food stalls with western restaurants.

Australia.....bleached chicken on steroids and fruit and vege dipped in every chemical known to man.

Australia exports it A class food goods to richer Asian neighbours and Aussies get the rubbish.

Rant over...apologies.

Plenty like that in Thailand, unless the op was only talking about cheap mama papa noodle and food stalls. Good thai food is incredible and not expensive

If I include Guangzhou, China, the food was dire. There was KFC but on principle I refused to order it. The best I have come across is in Thailand. As I get older though I tend to avoid the street stalls, seen too many rats for my liking.

you don't have the same taste like here in Thailand, because you had to use the same ingredients, which, if they are, cannot be fresh. Ever tried Homog with fresh Seafood in Sothern Thailand? Or Plah Nung Manao or Hoi ob Lom? or do we speak here only about fried rice pork?

For me, Singapore Chinese and Japanese are best. Those are my favorites for North and South East Asia. Malaysian and Vietnamese are next. Thai would come after that. Cambodian, Burmese and Indonesian are probably the worst, although I do like some dishes. The Philippines is pretty lousy, but I really like good adobo.

I like Indian too, but that's a different part of Asia.

Take the best from all the countries you mentioned, and we have truly amazing food

i like Thai food very much and eat it quite often. but it lacks the huge and broad diversity of Indian food (not limited to North Indian style because there is delicious food available in all parts of the Indian subcontinent and that includes Pakistan and Bangla Desh).

shooting from the hip i'd say not more than half a dozen specific Thai food "tastes" exist and even these are tastewise "related".

Regarding lowest average food quality, I suspect the Philippines, and - nowadays - mainland China.

I love Thai food (street food) and for me the worst is japanese food...

Have to agree. Adobo? Don't get it.
