While I didn't take photos of everything we ate, I did capture some of the more interesting regional food we tried. My favourite cuisine was Vietnamese - beautiful greens and lots of flavours without too much chili. I'm not adverse to a bit of heat in my food, but to taste the flavours I normally associate with Thai cookery without the chili was a revelation. Throughout Asia we ate lots of seafood, lots of rice or rice noodles and lovely green veg. And all of it was inexpensive.
