One of my favs! Penang Laksa! This dish is a popular local dish in Malaysia where it origins from Penang (duh! obviously). And the gravy is made of fish. The 'laksa' is from rice if I'm not mistaken. Malaysians would add some cut salad, and onions, and finely cut pineapple.

Also a boiled egg! Add up some chillies and soy ketchup, HEAVEN! Oh, did I mentioned that according to CNN's world's Top 10 Yummiest Food, Penang Laksa is the 7th most delicious food in the WORLD?!

#2 – TTEOBOKKI (South Korea)

Kpop lovers would definitely know this dish! For people who love hot burning spicy food, tteobokki is made for you. Tteobokki or spicy rice cake consist of sticky rice cake sticks, fried fish cakes. And for the sauce, usually people mix red pepper paste, red pepper powder, corn syrup and more other side ingredients.

Rice cakes are chewy, so Koreans usually eat ones that are freshly made. But, if you can't handle spiciness AT ALL, you probably wouldn't like it. Anyway, YOLO! ^^

#3 - TACOS (MEXICO)
