anyone who's anyone order champagne and not just the one bottle or two but half a dozen don't turn your on naturally at a thousand dollars a pop. china's young nubile reached party hard most of them courtesy of their parents' money. later that night a jaguar pulls up on a street corner in the same town but a world away from exclusive nightclubs. wealthy young night owls may not be used to waiting in line but they're happy to do it here at this no frills fast food stall. she you invent will be here all night serving up is your child. at fifty cents

society meet the rich and the poor not the healthy and the sick oh oh oh my god who put it in he's originally from a quiet little village in the neighboring province where he slept in more but are and less. about what i want i don't either but i had a boring life back home that would have some nights i slept more than twelve hours to get here i only say that three or four hours a day only i get up at five in the afternoon i'm work through time midday the day after oh my god if you want to not money you have to sleep leslie and that is what i have this is. a new day dawns in shanghai. the city is deceptively quiet in its early morning slumber. kites flying on the waterfront seem to be dancing with the fading moon.

in the park it's time for touchy china's downtempo anti-stress workout. but then the pace picks up as the city away. start to working day by meeting the bouts of joe. she's now eighty years old and as business savvy as she was when she started baking bum's thirty years ago. what's at stake is all over the local event so the back then i didn't know how to fill in forms outside. so i went to round to see how other people made them i copied everything i know from them the books of how they helped me. to him. since

then other people have copied her legendary bazza she feels the soft zero with the sumptuous pork in onion filling the recipe however remains a closely guarded secret. but. desolate said. his guide is. the way of the time not spent with him i don't need a scale i can feel the weight of the ingredients with my fingers and all i need to work out the proportions for a meat filling is my heart. no start to the day and shanghai is complete without the crispy brown savory bottoms it's breakfast for the busy. weather at the counter at ms wong stand. or as

a pick me up energy bill later in the office. thing here on the way down to make sure to tell you all. about the looks simple enough but for first timers eating them is anything but. come. up. once you get the hang of it however this shanghai specialty is a hugely satisfying meal in a mouthful of crispy exterior with a hot and juicy broth the ms wong spicy meat filling us from our. well how's the cheese yeah not bad hey. she got on how about you work for me and sell them in your country from. needs ravioli when you have doubts. ms wong is never short of new business ideas and she still finds the strength to start afresh she's had to relocate three times over the years after the

building housing her stall was demolished. the old sleepy side of the city is being eclipsed by the new shanghai looming above with its astronomical real estate costs. that evening after a brief sleep to defies exhaustion and fires up his stove again. he always has his daughter in mind he says she's attending a private school in britain he invests every penny he earns in her future. thomas find out that i came to visit during school holidays so i knew i missed her a lot this is what i have to bury these feelings in my heart i hope she'll one day have a better life than me my look at how demanding it hasn't let. up. mr

trew and ms wang have earned their modest little share of china's economic boom with their bout serve and your child and a lot of hard work. they climbed up a rock on the social ladder hoping that their children and grandchildren will rise even higher. the problem is norman that shanghai st louis vendors are being squeezed out in the city where money will. it's a different story in thailand here business on the street is positive. welcome to bangkok a city that resembles one big vibrant and thriving market that offers everything you might possibly nate.

but bangkok without street food is unimaginable. manner of dishes served opportunities street stands right there way around the world exotic imports in the west. but on local staples here in thailand available at every street corner. so you do warm acne and began her career in cooking at one of the street stores she had little other choice alternative opportunities for getting ahead a nonexistent it was a question of survival. but how can i get that one toy is one of the biggest slums in bangkok there are practically no jobs here but plenty of problems from drugs and crime almost no one has any qualifications. and even those who do find

a job don't earn enough money i don't know i never thought about it how much more. people who have nothing have nothing to lose from toohey has a reputation as a rough neighborhood who guides the few tourists who are curious about life in the slums and about the local food that is where poop comes into. court for union member yami but not that meat you know you can we cope with that you can but we kill the crap out of it up to read what you can't eat why what in fact now we call salt all of that.

somehow we have to kill then count to pop in a lot of pot be fought anyone here and ban that you don't have to the market. cry and southpaw to law school and they are tell me the athlete i don't know for me also a kid. who is a veteran of the street food scene even if she no longer operates on the street itself she still income to it but now runs her own cooking workshop here which has become a hugely profitable enterprise site. she caters to tourists eager to try to handle street food from time to green curry and tony young all now popular dishes tiny restaurants around the world here's the first stop being an insider tip years ago after jamie oliver featured her on his cooking show. success story is unprecedented here. for pearl and that doesn't star she now employs it's been

a route out of poverty even if not a ticket out of the slum. ok now back up and i wouldn't leave here even if i could this is where i belong the government is reportedly planning to tear down the slum and build new high rises in its place that would be a big shock i cried when i heard the news last i love that. who feels thankful but she knows it was hard work to go to that. hit. bangkok is a phenomenon day or night a sprawling mega city where there are always new temptations to indulge in twenty four seven including cullen everyone's. it's a fascinating paradise for food lovers although for outsiders sometimes

a challenge with your prickly proposition and storm. many of the cullen rejoins that city dwellers relish originally hail from far away in the countryside where life in time run at a completely different pace and rhythm. where the crickets chirp away in peace but now at least. the work is easy if you enjoy farming insects is something you either love or find boring but i like raising them and listen to them and it really isn't difficult or hard work i can bring them here at home which is convenient.

work that is enriching in various different ways. jaya has everything she needs right outside in her garden. for future fish plus some soil flour for protein and a drizzle of water. dry has no formal training she told herself after her daughter developed a taste for crickets because of the rising cost of groceries and with achieving gradient an endless supply of business was born. it's harvest time all year round it might sound odd to some outsiders but that's the term they use here harvesting insects. this part of the process may not be too appetizing for the on in life and insects

lives are over after just a month the drowning is as essential an ingredient as the fresh leaves in her it's growing in jais garden. and finally of course comes the real moment of truth food stop. and it part that last hour i learned. as i burst the shell i'm waiting in vain for a burst of flavor crickets have little if any flavor to make but evidently tastes. business is good for jarring not least since western diners also developed a taste for insects. trisha's food from

organic production giant joys the backing of dietary and. expense not to mention her many regular customers at her roadside stand. and she also has time to take a deserved rest for her efforts it seems she simply has the perfect recipe for success. by thomas talent shows how passion is a vital element of street food and in some places more recently an innovation to go . it's the other way around. here street food is still very traditional. our journey to the baking heat of the to comic-con desert in northwest china feels like a trip back in time. in centuries past the

caravans traversing this sea of sand along the silk road had not only silk spices n.j. didn't. they also brought with them new recipes new religion and an alternative outlook on life. the day before the bazaar all the moon returns from the field surrounding it away says on the edge of the comic con. the thirty year old farmer and his family belong to the league of people a muslim minority in china's wild west. speaks minimal mandarin the readers have their own language and identity and their

own food. cuisine is part of our culture. and we don't want to disappear me. implement a subtle change on has a very diverse culture it's a moment and we hope it will continue to cross personalness and to evolve and make it an honest life. but it doesn't take long for the police to show up the chinese government looks unfavorably on the culture and traditions of the leaders in the eyes of the authorities in beijing they constitute a threat to security and national unity. the police check our credentials was. going on. wherever we filmed the scene john region we find ourselves accompanied by government minders. and what we film reflects both

sides of life here a magical throwback to the days of the silk road and in the present suspicion and stigmatisation. the next day is a bizarre day this too is part of china albeit a part that feels closer to tehran or damascus than beijing where local farmers haggle and barter over cattle as the forefathers did centuries ago back. at the good this is. going to bring love it back. alley mo has his own stand. once a week he goes through the same solemn ritual cutting up the lamb into pieces small enough to fit on skewers.

me liver in fact. the to comic-con recipe for the harsh conditions on the edge of the desert. unlike what people in europe might be used to there's no everything on it option with a weaker kebab as exemplified by alamos kababs it's a fusion of meat and fire his soul concession to the modern world is a fan which isn't working today. but the substance of the square forced down his face that a lot of us are. just. there. but all. is forgotten as the spicy aroma of grilled lamb and one piece of bread permeates the senses. just as in times past we pull the chunks of meat off the skewers it's

a smoky taste one of herbs and the scent of cuba. the cup obs are hearty unpretentious affair not unlike the people. next door we witness a fascinating feat of color mary choreography. what will all that tossing twisting and turning result in. a change on style noodles of course. i thought that's what it would look most of us who has it by magic there they are all with the same identical fitness. needle making machines are redundant here who live above the. rest of it's not something they can learn in a day. of the knowledge is passed on from generation to generation a lot of them with one. little book but it's in all that we go coax unknown full of

the middle of the foot much but the. not let us watch without it that enough. could it be that marco polo ate noodles and shame john during his legendary trip to china. that noodles were invented here and merely introduced to europe by the italian explorer. then there's this blend of lamb onions tomatoes and peppers. perhaps a precursor to italy's bowl in a sauce. served by the myself. himself freshly prepared steaming shin john noodles are warming no frills delight. eaten here of course not with a fork and spoon but with chopsticks as locals looked on amused.

and. i think. we now leave the bazaar there something else our government minders want to show us. something foreign visitors rarely see. a special performance just for us a wedding dance with traditional instruments and colorful costumes a spirited performance. hit it seems as if our escorts are proud of local change on culture. the test except for this peculiar sight one of the men is wearing a false beard for the regime in beijing long beards are seen as a symbol of radical islam and only permitted among elderly men.

it means a weaker musician has to dress up as a weaker. and ironic twist of fate what. the menu centers on fish cooked on sticks in keeping with weaker custom with fresh herbs peppers and tomatoes over a crackling fire. first. as night falls the dancers perform their finale around the flames. it's promising to be an evening to remember for me an evening where i envision

readers an ethnic contravening the sitting together around a fire eating fish. can hopes of reconciliation be candled here in china's troubled northwestern province. just moments after the dance is over however the fish is packed up and taken away. the who eager dancers disappear into the night. the only eating done by ourselves and our minders will be later in an ethnic chinese restaurant. near norman they don't eat together and change jobs and that's precisely the problem like oh. that's a shame thomas but i'm experiencing the opposite in vietnam here eating brings people together. food to learn and share in their daily commute looks precarious navigating the relentless rivers of traffic that dictate life in city formerly known as saigon life here is never dormant everyone appears to be on their

way to somewhere else. well almost everyone. life is distinctly upbeat here in the city and indeed the entire country vietnam is a nation in transition economically and socially a nation permanently on the move life on. go life to go. to. something tune and share know all about with the grocery shopping done for the day they head back home to prepare everything they meet for their prized product who choose a noodle soup a simple sounding name realize the veritable taste sensation waiting in every ball

. and bring fresh vegetables plus rice noodles. boil pork belly. and then of course herbs and spices chopped up extremely fine and mixed together. all. the broth has cooked for at least four hours. tune could probably do it blindfolded same routine seven days a week a bowl of soup costs twenty thousand dong the equivalent of eighty euro cents on a good day they serve up to one hundred portions but not every day is a good one. for now at least the story of tuna is one of just getting by a story that began where else but in a restaurant. when i first arrived here i got

a job as an assistant cook that's where i met my future wife was a waitress. after we got married we left the restaurant we wanted to set up our own business. and that plan has come to fruition in their modest little street side kitchen. tune and then believe that life is what you make it what they really dream off is having their own fully fledged restaurant one day in the main city. it's a dream for which tune works well into the night vacation is more or less a foreign concept for him and his wife as it is for many vietnamese families even taking a day off is a special treat. i don't this day they're paying a visit to tunes parents they don't live far away parts of the boss needs four

hours at least traffic committing it's a time consuming and expensive journey into four euros per person a luxury they can afford only once a year if that. parents are over the moon to see them they've only seen their little granddaughter tram once before. and. yet we're poor people but my son is now a self-made business and i'm very proud of him. hold up a lot and after that i am. all. their long wait is always worth it on this special day the women take care of the cooking. sizzling away in the pan

are some mice fresh from the rice fish. tunes mother is cooking up his favorite dishes as so many mothers do the world over . i cry when he comes back home tears of joy when i miss them all so much. our son had to leave home because he can't earn any money here. tonight his family enjoy the rare pleasure of a day off and the chance to replenish their batteries for a few hours. for others it will be

another all too short night by the big river. it's still dark when tran t. by begins how working day. back i never have a day off people depend on me if i don't show up they have nothing to eat. for years she's followed the same daily routine as her mother before her. at dawn she transports everything she needs across the street to her boat. her. every item has its place. every morning by meticulously loads up the

pint sized vessel before setting out across the big river. and only one right now god will reward us some day if we do good deeds he will bless us. i pray every day that he will give us money for a new home. crying and working by also believes life is what you make it she calls out rice with pork rice noodles with crab who's hungry.

this is how. the floating markets of the city of qom told. by this point the mekong river is almost five thousand kilometers from its source taking in and telling stories along the way. the mekong delta is a hive of trade after being harvested from nearby fields the fruits and vegetables are transferred from the big ships to tiny boats before reaching the stands on land the commercial food chain that what would often accompany his mother to the market taking in the sights and smells majorly takes him back to his childhood the food here is still the best he says. two lives made on those floating crossroads to learn from the big city. life from the big river to very different people find they have much in common. and i'm

originally from here but now i live in a hotel in city i have a stand there i've been selling the same noodle dishes as you. for seven years. so how's business and. it's going ok you know. how about you. the pretty good there are good days and bad days you know. compact cars on. the last. two lines briefly crossed palm seven lunch on the make all people going their own separate ways again. but they remain kindred spirits and that's not some old vietnamese saying it happens across the world. hi thomas there is no taste like home. sounds like japan to

i'll be seeing you there shortly. fukuoka is said to be the most livable city in japan. initially i feel a little underwhelmed. but then again we have yet to go out for dinner. after the ten thousand kilometers we each have under our belt storing street food stands in eastern asia we've now arranged to meet back up at a kiosk in japan. i'm here where are you lost a tooth woke up. will be right there yes i got lost by the gaming on chains. we finally find each other in a convenience store. among the shelves of magazines on sale is one dedicated to one

thing the japanese variety of noodles. raman. it features one of japan's best known raman bloggers tall shuki kamimura. but what's his motivation. coming more tells us that can be best answered over a bowl of noodle soup. he suggests meeting at a sheen to a temple and appropriately enough it's thanksgiving in japan. outside the temple you can buy proper predicting your future. after reading what fate has in store for them or others the fortunes are tied to a fence. it looks like some may not have been happy with their fortunes and the cleaning team is kept busy tidying up.

kamimura sohn is in his thirty's and remarkably slim for someone who eats four hundred portions of ramen a year. the other tasty morsels available rice cakes filled with bean paste flaming kababs and sweet treats do not seem to appeal to have. we're dining at a young thai one of fukuoka is rustic fast food stands. i'm sure there's. a powerful media aroma it's me as the bowls of broth are brought to the table as if there were a huge steaming pork roast in front of us i. get so hungry that. you're the first to go and. slipping isn't frowned upon when eating ramen.

on the contrary. you're the local but the difference is i have to slip more to suck in the noodles. or to be funny how i didn't have enough for you knowing all the noodles and broth have to hit your mouth together. slurping really doesn't prove the taste like a quality red wine the noodles and broth have to breed. in this case audibly no matter what our etiquette convention say. germany has learned not your solar system but if you use. yes the noodles taste better if you slow you have to it's part of our culture that has been going. on. and don't forget to wash them down with a gulp of broth which has a creamy consistency reminiscent of liquid meat or want to get into a lot of sweat and toil goes into preparing timecode so the japanese for profit has

a far tang here taste in vietnam. the old empty noodles atop the spring onions seaweed and pork. it might look simple but it's an art sometimes i think i'm the kind of thing you see a bunch of chosen from because you're not from so much that. she likes roman my child to have it but she says i eat too much for the third rum and still they just wait outside. the remnants of a typhoon sweep across the city. but that doesn't dampen anyone's appetite in fukuoka. their love of robin soup is stronger than the whims of whether. the waterfront is jam packed with fast food stalls. with the rain pouring down incessantly there are kinda little refuges islands of a skate from japan's new tory slate hardworking day. thank

you i was twenty five when i started out here before that i spent four years in office. i was sick of the pressure and overtime every day i made the. point i'm trying to cut my god. our impression of eastern asia is one of constant amp and flow of cultural and cullen every traditions transition and reinvention. as we saw with ms wong in shanghai who is keen on exporting her savory bonds to germany. or china bangkok with dreams of a big future with little insects. we've been impressed not only by our coal unary discoveries but equally by the results one is passion and pride among the people who cook come.
