There's an art to eating streetfood :D Mostly just follow the locals, they know what's good. But any westerner will inevitably have a week of the liquid shits upon arrival, just because the diet is radically different.

Always pack immodium if you are planning on eating street food.

Oh, I had literally no problem in my year, living in China or any other time in my year living in Indonesia. I got sick from nice restaurants both times. Street food was never the issue. Moscow on the other hand…

Hunh... okay, I have no experience with that because when I got to Indonesia I ate at McD for the first 2 days (rice with your burger? why not!) and then my friends introduced me to the joy that is streetfood and pretty much never looked back :D

Yeah, I probably ate street food at my first opportunity in Asia, and I’ve seldom been let down.
