4. Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar is known the world over for good reason, which is more than enough reason for you to go and experience it yourself. Just imagine wandering through a bustling marketplace full of mountains of tea, towers of cheese and shelves upon shelves of Turkish delight. Make a beeline for the stalls that sell gozleme, filled flatbread, and simit, sesame-seeded rings of bread.

3. Penang, Malaysia

Some travelers may tell you that there isn’t much to see in Malaysia, but the food alone is worth the airfare. Most Pinoys aren’t aware of the culinary treasure that awaits them in Malaysia—from authentic char koay teow to hits-the-spot assam laksa, and steaming and delicious roti to beef, chicken or pork satay.

2. Barcelona, Spain

La Boqueria is worth its hype and then some. With the freshest ingredients you could imagine and more tapas bars than you can count, look forward to indulging in churros and horchata, and eating as many bocadillos as you can fit in your stomach. Don’t forget to visit the ever-growing number of food markets to try themerendas, which is brioche filled with ham and cheese, and indulging in some Pan de Dios, a custard and shaved coconut-topped heavenly brioche roll.

1. Singapore

Home to the truly unique and hybrid flavors of some of the world’s best cuisines, Singapore tops this list with no questions asked. Look forward to having all your Hainan chicken dreams come to life and eating more than your fill of mouth-watering satay. Top it off with kaya toast and coffee, and you’ll never want to leave.
