This has to be the longest food marathon in history! Together, a couple sold their house and quit their jobs to fill their stomachs with at least 540 meals while traveling the world.
I stumbled upon their little travel blog while surfing the net and as a food junkie myself I was inspired and also got a rumbly in my tumbly! Starting in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia they'll move through Southeast Asia to unravel the best restaurants, street food vendors, food courts, and other places to get some grub and then follow their nose to the next part of the world.
From Jack Johnsons favourite Banana Pancakes to classic Som Tum papaya salad. The flavours range from spicy, sour, sweet, neutral, fishy, meaty, salty, bitter, tart and all more kinds of herbal combinations. I wonder how much they'll gain... 10, 20, 30 kilo's? Ouch, but looks like it's worth it!
Also a food lover like I am? Or going to Asia and want some good food tips? I know you'll find it here! These are just a few of the meals they devoured. I copied some of the text and description from their site but more details are found there!
Nom nom slurp slurp gulp gulp nibble nibble bite bite.
