One of the best things about visiting local markets in the Philippines is the incredible variety of street food. From fish balls and squid balls to kikiam and hotdogs on sticks, there's always something delicious sizzling on every corner. It's simple food, but it's full of flavor and brings back so many childhood memories. There's something special about enjoying freshly cooked street food while walking through a busy market or spending time with family and friends. Philippine street food is more than just a quick bite, it's a delicious part of our culture that both locals and tourists should experience. And this goes the same to other countries who have their own street food.

I would be in heaven there Raquel. I really would I would want to try everything. That's why I must never go to a market there. Street food here is mostly Asian funnily enough but it's over priced and it's not common even on big cities

Street food vendors in the US have the same health and safety rules as a full restaurant. Sinks with fresh water and soap to wash in, hair nets to keep hair from getting in the food and gloves to keep from contaminating the foods they serve. We don't have street food vendors in my part of the US.

We have wide range of street foods here in our country. Each state has their own specialities. And now some of them have found their place in menus of fancy restaurants.

Street food brings back many memories, as it’s almost always available everywhere. It’s important to be cautious when choosing what to eat, as it can sometimes pose health risks. Still, I enjoy buying from street vendors since they’re often much cheaper and more affordable, though I remain mindful of safety.

When I could get it I always enjoyed all kinds of street food, Living in NYC the best big pretzels and hot dogs were from street vendors,

We don't have street food stalls here but I can imagine how popular they are. I can also imagine the lovely smells as you walk the streets.
