The continent has exported its cuisines the world over: India\u2019s red hot curries, China\u2019s juicy dumplings, Vietnam\u2019s steaming bowls of pho soup and Thailand\u2019s heaping plates of <em>p\u00e0t tai<\/em> (pad Thai) noodles are known and loved across the globe. Eating here can be both a joyous and chaotic affair: forks are forsaken in favour of fingers or chopsticks and food is enjoyed with unrivalled gusto. Whether settling down for a Michelin-starred meal in one of Singapore\u2019s finest restaurants or pulling up a plastic stool on a Bangkok street, hungry travellers will never be bored by the diversity of Asia\u2019s cuisines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This continent has contributed a cast of villains and heroes to global history.
