Korean food gets my vote. I'm currently in Thailand, and have been hugely disappointed by the food on this trip. Prior to coming here, I would have said Thai food all the way as I used to worship the stuff. Now that I'm here again, I'm finding that its not all that. I have very similar feelings about Thai girls too. It seems that a year in Korea has smashed my illusions about the LOS. Can't wait to get back!  |

Um, are you eating a lot of the street vendor crap? That stuff sucks... go to some real restaurants, you can get great meals for like a few hundred baht. |

If I am being as biased as hell, I'd say Caribbean food. It has a crazy blend of Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, African, and Indigenous Islander food. In addition to that, various other European countries have contributed to Caribbean food. It's so distinct and has it's own unique flavor that varies from island to island....

But if I don't count Caribbean food...I guess I'd say Italian or Filipino food. |

Nah I'm on the real stuff! I've been visiting decent restaurants, eating a lot of fish and curries and vegtables. Maybe I shouldn't have said "hugely disappointed", as in reality, it hasn't been that bad. I just haven't enjoyed it as much as I used to, and most of the time after a meal here I'm finding myself thinking about Jokk-bal, Kamjatang etc and have to admit to myself that that is what I really want to be eating. |

I find real Thai food can be hard on the stomach until you get used to it; it's different (ie. stronger) from the Thai food in other countries. I never lived there long term, but when I first arrived it took its toll - gave me indigestion and just didn't sit well at all (I was coming from Japan, where the food is way gentler). I also felt a bit sick in general from the sh1tty Bangkok air, which was a bit of a system shock coming from Tokyo (though Seoul is comparable). After a few weeks though I got used to everything, and even began craving the food. You just gotta go through that adaptation phase.
The street-stall/food court type of food just sucks though, period. You never really 'adapt' to that (once the novelty wears off, after eating it like twice). You gotta be real broke to resort to that. It's cheap, but you get what you pay for (with few exceptions). It's well worth the extra hundred baht to get a good meal in an air conditioned restaurant. |

I agree with you on Caribbean food. In Toronto, Jamaican food is particularly popular. Jerk Chicken and Rotis. Damn!  I really wanna eat that. I love those two foods. Be going to Toronto in late summer I hope.
Italian food is great, but Filipino food? You're kidding right? I've had it more than a few times (with filipino friends). It's edible is all I can say for it. |

| Indian, hands down. Nothing else even comes close. It's a shame you can't get decent Indian food anywhere in Korea (that I'm aware of). |

I haven't been to India or Singapore, so I can't compare to them, but the Indian food I've had from the Nepalese restaurants 'Namaste' and 'Everest' near Dongdaemun, has been pretty good and not expensive.
As well, one of these days, I'm going to try my luck around the ethnic area of Ansan, around Ansan stn. There's no shortage of South Asians around there, there's bound to be a decent restaurant or two. |
