In general understanding, street food is a quick meal or drink
sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair,
by a vendor, often from a portable stall or a push cart or basket.
Street foods are often regional, though many are not, having spread
beyond their region of origin. Tourists and locals alike often
flock to these roadside vendors because it gives people a closer
connection with the food, culture and tradition of a region.
Besides, they are cheap.
The street food culture is found all over the world but
particularly prevalent in the continent of Asia. If you love
