Delicious Asian foods you need to try

This is the Vietnamese version of a sub sandwich. It is a baguette that has a nice crispy exterior. Ingredients can vary but most of the time it has mayonnaise, liver pate, sliced veggies like carrots, radish, and cucumber. Order it spicy or regular. If you get spicy it can burn your tongue but in a good way. The meat is delicious, which is Vietnamese sausage, pork slices, chicken, and a variety of great cold cuts. If you’re on a budget, you could eat this for lunch every day and still love it. The appeal is its great taste, makes a quick meal, and is priced cheap at about $2.25 a sandwich across Toronto.

Roasted Pig Lechon is a slow-roasted pig, that is cooked until the skin is crunchy. The pork meat is soft, there is a layer of fat, and then the crispy skin. I’m sure it’s not good for the heart, but then again everything that is delicious isn’t either. So if you feel guilty about eating this, you could always burn it off at the gym. It is a favourite for parties where the whole pig is roasted. Lechon is available in many countries, not just Asian ones. There are many styles and names for lechon, but this lechon is available in many Filipino stores. Order one for your next party and watch everyone love you for it. Here is a link where you can order lechon, Hong Fatt BQQ (The name should say it all.)

This is a simple Filipino favourite. Eating fish can be a great or bad experience depending on what kind of fish you’re eating and how it’s prepared. Lucky for you, the bangus fish tastes great especially when fried. The meat is soft and tasty and fried to a golden color with crispy skin. The unique thing about bangus fish is that is has a center of rich fat that serves as your prize for finishing the fish. You can even buy it at your local Asian supermarket or store and cook it yourself – as it comes in a pre-marinated package, all you would need to do is fry it like you would fry an egg. You should be able to order it at FV Foods, a Filipino store. Or you can buy most Asian supermarkets.

I hate eating mussels, oysters, and even clams because they are kind of gross to me. But I love eating fried clams in black bean sauce. The black bean sauce is an amazing sauce that gives any food a nice rich kick in flavor. The best way to eat it is to dip each clam in a bit of hot sauce and enjoy. We usually order small baby clams which are not too large to eat at one time. Eating larger clams can give you a gagging experience. This is the most adventurous dish for those who want to stay on the safe side of dining. This is available in most Chinese restaurants including the congee places listed above. Also, try the fried lobster in black bean sauce. You might like Hua Sang Seafood Restaurant
