Street Food: Asia

I have really enjoyed this show and seeing all of the amazing food from all of these different places looks fantastic. I wish I could go eat at each restaurant. But the fact that they do the voiceover translation really bothers me. I want to be able to hear what the people are saying in their own native language and have subtitles in English. I really dislike the English voiceovers. But what's worse is I usually watch with subtitles on anyway, and the English subtitles don't match what the English translator is saying, which is extremely annoying and distracting. Seriously just get rid of the voiceovers and let the people speak and then correctly subtitle it in English. If it weren't for this, this show would be perfect.

Watched this couple of days ago and I'm proud that my country was in it. People be saying "stop using the hands to prepare the dishes, where's the hygiene" please, you were never here to begin with, we've been doing that for ages and if the hygiene was so important wouldn't we be dead by now? Leave our tradition the way it is, if you feel like there's no hygiene serving food by hands then this food/series aren't meant for you, case closed. Let us the brave eat them, more food for us.

It's an amazing docuseries that shows not just a selection of famous street food from Asian countries but also the social and historical context behind theses dishes. I hope to see more seasons. Latin America would be a great option for the next one.

I watched every episode today and was fully absorbed into it. I want more!

I have not seen too many food shows. Saw this featured on Netflix and decided to give it a go and just finished the Delhi episode. It has a very nice format that runs smoothly first exploring the history of the food featured and focuses on the life story of a street vendor although it does show others as well. The style works quite well as are the animations and soundtrack. Other shows can be irkingly sensationalist in their presentation with the host hogging the attention instead of the subject material. One thinks of the typical Western foreigner just going around. But the focus on just one individual and his struggles to be able to cater to common people just going about their day was a refreshing take. Very inspirational and down-to-earth. Looking forward to finishing this. Shows that food is not just about eating. It's about people.
