When I travel, I enjoy trying street food just as much as I like dining in restaurants. It gives me the chance to watch my food being cooked - because one of my rules in eating on the street is that I must see my meal being prepared (it's worked quite well in preventing food poisoning).

South Korea is a great place for street food: I've tasted fried silkworms, rice cakes cooked with chilli paste, grilled meat and seafood and rather obscene-looking sea creatures that had been swimming in tanks seconds before being chopped up and served raw. So I was happy to find Kevin Daniel O'Sullivan's blog, appropriately named Street Foodie (streetfoodie.com). He blogs primarily about Korea, where he's based, but also posts about his experiences in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Britain (where he's from).

He calls Singapore his 'street food mecca' but his adopted country doesn't fare badly. O'Sullivan is adventurous and gamely tries things such as soondae (blood sausage), pig innards, live baby octopus and something called the 'french fry-coated hotdog' (hotdog dipped in batter, coated in french fries, then deep-fried) - which doesn't sound nearly as horrible (or fattening) as the Scooby snack (fried egg, sausage, bacon, cheese, a potato scone and meat patty tucked into a roll), which he tried in Glasgow, Scotland.
